School bake sales- growing up I lived for these giant cookies, sugary treats and cupcakes galore! It seemed at the time the best way to come together and raise money for a good cause (and get treats for yourself as well!) But living in this day and age kids have to be aware of how much sugar they are taking in. And by selling them cookies to fund their schools and activities, what an unhealthy promotion. Sell them pencils, sell them home appliances even a BANANA! But stay away from these sweets. After reading this article in The NY Times I am glad someone is finally Taking action.
