GROSSE POINT WOODS, Mich. – Another school tradition has fallen victim to school food rules championed by First Lady Michelle Obama.

Grosse Pointe North Student Union, located in metro Detroit, sold hundreds of fresh baked cookies at the high school for more than 20 years.

But the Detroit News reports that’s now over because the snacks violated strict federal regulations on sugar and fat content of items sold at schools.

“It was a tradition,” student activities director Pat Gast tells the paper. “But there is no choice anymore.”

Gast would sell 200 or 300 of the cookies. Now, she hopes to sell 30 of the replacements that are made with whole grain ingredients.

“That has cramped our style quite a bit,” Gast says.

The school was able to sell the cookies at the recent homecoming dance because the rules don’t regulate weekend activities.

Gast was making 2,000.

“People are buying tickets to homecoming just to get the cookies,” she said, according to the News.

“I hope I can keep up with the demand.”

“It’s something you looked forward to and now it’s just gone,” says junior Anu Subramaniam.

“The freshmen will never know those cookies. You lose a sense of school pride when you take them away.”

A subsequent Detroit News editorial titled “Students snub Obama cookies” points out:

Michigan K-12 public schools don’t have the option of opting out of the school lunch program. These rules will continue to weigh heavily on schools’ bottom lines. And given the amount of healthy food kids are tossing every day, the program won’t have the impact Obama wants.

“It started out in the right direction. We all want better for the students,” Karen Bissett, nutrition services director for Oxford Schools, tells the paper.

“Everything can look good on paper, but when it comes to serving the students, until it is put into practice, you can’t tell how it’s going to work out.”
