    But our current generation of teachers & administrators have been taught since they were children to be compliant in these same government run schools. It is very unlikely that they will stand up to the government. It will take the parents but most of them have been taught the same thing. This is what makes common core even more dangerous.

    You know, in most European countries, the public schools don't even provide lunch for the students. They're given a lunch hour, but they're expected to bring their own food from home. Not sure why this idea hasn't caught on in the U.S. =/

    You heard my sarcasm in there, right? What you just said is exactly my point. The time is now, but they don't seem to see it that way. Dork. :)

    Someone ought to obtain the original recipe and start producing the pink cookies him/herself.

    Whether to produce for the family alone, to mass-produce, or broadcast the recipe is up to that person's selfish-interest.

    It's a huge deal. What decisions are left at the local level if the Feds can change the recipe of a cookie. This would be a great place for parents and concerned administrators to take a stand. Teach the kids that they can stand up to the government when it is wrong. (Richie?)

    Can we please stop demonizing butter?! So what they've saying iiiiis, providing healthy food choices means eliminating choices so you no longer have a choice...hence forced to eat food you don't want...Or eat nothing. Of course getting the gov out of schools would cure this...I choose that option....And a big pink cookie.

    This sucks. The school should just tell the Feds to shove it. They are teaching these kids that they have to comply with everything the Feds say. I say let them send FBI agents to confiscate cookies.
