I just spent some time with my daughter and grandchildren and found out, to my
surprise, that when their elementary school has a bake sale no one can bring
homemade baked items. They must all be bought at the store. She was told that
this was to prevent anyone getting sick (and presumably to prevent the school
from being sued). This seems totally absurd to me. In all the years I've been
on this planet I have never heard of anyone getting sick from something they
bought at a school bake sale. Am I off the beam here? What do you think?
