Is Everyone In Massachusetts Stupid?

From the Boston Herald: Bake sales, the calorie-laden standby cash-strapped classrooms, PTAs and booster clubs rely on, will be outlawed from public schools as of Aug. 1 as part of new no-nonsense nutrition standards, forcing fundraisers back to the blackboard to cook up alternative ways to raise money for kids.
At a minimum, the nosh clampdown targets so-called “competitive” foods — those sold or served during the school day in hallways, cafeterias, stores and vending machines outside the regular lunch program, including bake sales, holiday parties and treats dished out to reward academic achievement. But state officials are pushing schools to expand the ban 24/7 to include evening, weekend and community events such as banquets, door-to-door candy sales and football games.
The Departments of Public Health and Education contend clearing tables of even whole milk and white bread is necessary to combat an obesity epidemic affecting a third of the state’s 1.5 million students. But parents argue crudites won’t cut it when the bills come due on athletic equipment and band trips.
“If you want to make a quick $250, you hold a bake sale,” said Sandy Malec, vice president of the Horace Mann Elementary School PTO in Newtonville.

No, insists Dr. Lauren Smith, DPH’s medical director.
“We’re not trying to get into anyone’s lunch box,” Smith told the Herald. “We know that schools need those clubs and resources. We want them to be sure and have them, but to do them a different way. We have some incredibly innovative, talented folks in schools who are already doing some impressive things, who serve as incontrovertible evidence that, yes, you can do this, and be successful at it.”
State Sen. Susan Fargo (D-Lincoln), chairwoman of the Joint Committee on Public Health, said the problem of overweight children has reached “crisis” proportions.
“If we didn’t have so many kids that were obese, we could have let things go,” Fargo said.
That pretty much says it all.  The government and this food Nazi, Susan Fargo, has decided that is the Sate of  Massachusetts who knows best about all children and they are going to be the ones who solves the problem.
Obviously, Fargo (who really embarrasses Fargo, ND with her name) and "Dr."Smith live in a tiny bubble and have no concept of reality.  They also want the decision making out of the parents hands and put into the state of Massachusetts and that is down right hideous.
If you want to get rid of the supposed obesity problem, have the parents, not the State, cut down on TV time, have the kids play after school, encourage them to play sports or march in a band, cut down on their food intake or just have the kids just walk around the block.
But to the Food Nazis, Fargo and Smith, this doesn't compute with them, they think they are smarter than anyone else and they want to impose their values on the children of Massachusetts
