Weird No happy returns as school bans birthday cake

[The Helper]

WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Children in a New Zealand school have been banned from bringing cakes to share on their birthdays, due to new government healthy eating guidelines.

Pupils at Oteha Valley primary school north of Auckland have been told they are allowed to celebrate their birthdays, but the cake must stay at home, the New Zealand Herald newspaper reported.

The Ministry of Education has been on a fat-busting crusade, introducing sweeping guidelines against unhealthy food in New Zealand schools.

Kids can't have their cake — or eat it

Pretty pointless. No cake at school means double cake at home.

You've got it wrong. The correct comment is:
The cake is a lie.

What's the difference between eating the cake at school or at home??
They'll eat it eventually.

this is rather retarded, in order to really get "healthy" its niot about not eating certain foods, its about eating foods in moderation.

What he said.


Thats why I fucking hate healthy eating bans. They are so gay.

 

[Jackal]

Let them eat cake

Another example of Beurocrats telling us how we are to live our lives, while freedoms, however seemingly insignificant or trivial, get whittled away.

Some schools in America have gone so far as to forbid even fund-raising bake sales!

Ban the fat kids from eating cake if you must, but why let them ruin it for everyone else?

They banned cakes in my school too! Unless the 'party' is inside the classroom (and not outside). Why? Becuase people would have cake-fights =D

Anyway, any foodbans should be banned. People can still eat what ever they want, and most likely will. If you don't let them eat what they want, when they can, they will eat more quantities. But anyway... Say no to bans? =D
