Many schools just like Duxbury elementary are closing their doors to junk food because survey says that parents have nutrition as their first priority.
"That doesn't mean they want to have cupcakes removed from birthday celebrations and replaces with celery sticks and boxes of raisins-especially those little boxes with 32 raisins that always come out in one inseparable clump!" http://paulharrisonline.blogspot.com/2004/06/no-cupcakes-for-you.html The schools response in incorporating this rule into the school system is because they are scared of the obesity rate increasing. I for one believe the children should have more time to do outdoor activities and exercise and then we would not have this problem about worrying about the nutrient and health of our students.
It's also sad that this is actually a discussion right now. Whether or no cupcakes should be allowed in school or not. They have so much more they should be worrying about!
