No, not the police who happen to be overweight -- the police to keep you from becoming overweight ...
MILFORD, Conn. - Cupcakes became contraband at Meadowside elementary school, after Principal Robert Davis banned all celebratory sweets -- a move that has made some parents sour.
Health officials said Davis adopted a new policy of using games and crafts instead of baked goods to fete birthdays, holidays and special occasions, and praised it as a way to combat childhood obesity.
Right. Because kids were eating so many birthday cupcakes that they were becoming fat. I can just imagine it.
Yeesh.
Katherine's pre-school also asks that we don't bring in cupcakes for treats, but because they're messy as all hell with pre-schoolers. That's a reason I can live with.
