FOOD CORRECTNESS REVOLT

"The frenzied movement to expunge every last morsel of cake and every remaining drop of soda from schools is beginning to make some pint-sized enemies. New Haven, Connecticut schools aren't just purging candy and soft drinks from their corridors; they're also going after student bake sales and birthday cupcakes. Sodas and snacks are under attack in lunchrooms across the nation. The self-described 'food police' at the Center for Science in the Public Interest even took a swipe at milk served in school lunch rooms this week. Needless to say, this food zealotry isn't sitting well with kids -- and some aren't going to take it anymore. A group of girls at Lancaster Intermediate School in Texas have formed a 'French Fry Committee' to protest the Texas Department of Agriculture's encroachment on their lunch plates."
