I’m kind of behind on social news and didn’t know this
(until this morning), but just in case some of you are behind-er than I am, did
you know Texas has a law protecting the right of kids to bring cupcakes to
school on their birthdays?
If it weren’t for good ol’ Alton Brown of the Food Network,
I could have gone my whole life ignorant of the fact. Who said television isn’t
educational?
See, Texas has a reputation of being the unhealthy diet
capital of the nation (if not the world), so they did something about it. They
banned sodas and sugar from schools. Good grief! All that did was arouse
parents, who loved to treat their children’s classes with cupcakes on their
birthdays.
I should say!
No fools, the Texas legislature took a bite out of their own
law six years ago and passed an amendment, making an exception of the birthday
cupcake.
Good thing too. Can you imagine kids bringing raw carrot
sticks and broccoli florets to class on their birthday (no dip, because that
would be unhealthy)? Who said kids don’t rule the roost?
