“Banned! First alcohol prohibition, then other drugs. Now candy. Yes, candy is now banned on many school campuses. Why? Refined sugar is so bad for you it’s wicked. I’m sure you know many of the major bad guys here. Twinkies. Ho Hos. Nestle’s Crunch. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Maybe you consumed some of these unsavory savories yourself in your youth. They’re not fruit and vegetables, that’s for sure. In California the ban on intra-curricular sugar is legislative and statewide. So, that’s that, right? No candy ever winds its way into a Golden-State kid’s lunch pail or backpack. Right? Uh, not quite.” (05/12/08)
