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?

Been that way around here (MN) for probably 25 years. Thank our
litigious society. OTOH, the big draw at the annual local Srs. Ctr.
fund-raiser is the homemade stuff. Must be something about consenting
adults.
