PAWLEYS ISLAND, S.C. – Michelle Obama’s school lunch program is not only affecting what students eat, but it’s creating collateral damage, too.

South Carolina students attending Waccamaw Middle School used lunchtime bake sales as means of raising money to send a World War II veteran on an Honor Flight to Washington, D.C, according to Coastalobserver.com. Honor Flights allow vets to visit the World War II Memorial.

Although the fundraiser, which raised $2,500 in less than a month, was successful, it looks like these student efforts might have to be put to an end. That’s thanks to Michelle O’s newly implemented school snack standards.

Federal nutrition standards that took effect this month limit the calories, sodium, fat and sugar content of food sold in schools as snacks and as fundraisers. “It’s going to be devastating,” Georgetown County School Superintendent Randy Dozier said.

Let’s face it. Most kids, and adults for that matter, are not going to want to pay $1.00 for carrot sticks. No, they want to buy a cupcake. A bake sale would not be a bake sale if carrots are involved, unless, of course, they come in cake form.

Michelle Obama is catching heat from more than just South Carolina. Georgia’s Marietta City and Cobb County School Boards are not happy with the government controlling bake sales either, according to 11 Alive News.

“We think we should teach children how to make smart decisions and not have the government make the smart decisions for them,” Marietta School Board member Jason Waters told 11Alive News on Friday.

Georgia’s Department of Education also feels this is a federal overreach, according to the news site.

In response to the regulations, the Georgia State Board of Education voted Friday to exempt Georgia’s public schools from the new snack rules. Most public schools will be allowed to have at least 30 fundraisers each year that do not comply with the school lunch regulations, according to the news site.

Georgia’s public schools will not be limited to only 30 bake-sale-type fundraisers a year either, as the State School Board will be able to review additional fundraising exemptions on a case-by-case basis.

The federal school lunch regulations do allow for states to create exemptions for their schools like Georgia did. However, is it really the federal government’s job to regulate bake sales in the first place?

As Marietta School Board Member Jason Waters told 11Alive News, we should be teaching children how to make smart decisions. The federal government should not be making those decisions for them.

These two stories are just two of the many schools and states that are telling Michelle O that this federal overreach is not okay.

It is one thing to regulate what kids are eating at lunch. It is another to take away bake sale fundraisers because they do not fit Michelle Obama’s tastes.
