After cross-posting my piece earlier this week about the new Texas Agriculture Commissioner declaring “cupcake amnesty,” the Houston Chronicle asked if I’d be willing to write an editorial about it for today’s paper. I agreed, and in today’s piece I look at whether Texas taxpayers might have to pay a stiff price for Commissioner Miller’s political grandstanding. Thanks to the Chronicle for the opportunity!
I was also interviewed yesterday by ABC News (online) regarding the different approaches taken by school districts regarding classroom treats.
And for those of you not following TLT’s Facebook page, I want to share here a great post from Dr. Daniel Taber, an Assistant Professor at the University of Texas School of Public Health, about how sadly politicized the issue of junk food in schools has become.
And with that, I close out “Crazy Texas Cupcake Week” here on The Lunch Tray. 🙂 Have a great weekend, all!
