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?


If that is the way they are going to be they might as well try some sort of cookie
sale fundraiser like Girl Guide cookies. I used to bake stuff for the bake sale
at my son's school. Then I found out that the were selling the stuff for less than
it cost me to make them. Nuts to that. All I was doing was providing someone with
cheap baked goods and the school was getting the money.
