[Hoot Gibson]

The law will not need enforcing. It will change the standards and specks on foods purchased. This will fall on the purchasing agent at the school and a food broker and sales rep from the distributor. It will not allow you to sale unhealthy candies early in the day. I am all for that. I hate when they give my son a snickers bar for breakfast and say its to support the football team. Open campuses will remain open. It just requires the school to practice what they preach by provide healthier foods. You are overthinking the bill. There are schools that have adopted these types of food programs all ready. Just not in areas like ours. If you want to pay for your child to go eat hot dogs and hamburgers everyday you will still be able to buy their way into obesity. However agian the school will practice what they preach. There is no legal cost. There are already specks in place for the schools to go by. The specks will just be changed. The purchasing agent and the broker will work out the sales just as always just under different restrictions.

All laws must be enforced or they are totally pointless. The federal government does not pass laws without creating an enforcement mechanism or blackmailing states to enforce the laws for them by threatening to withhold federal funding.

If there is no enforcement, then this sounds like a great marketing opportunity for some enterprising young high school students. When kids start pushing Snickers bars on high school parking lots to hungry students who are tired of government-approved snacks, somebody will be their to mete out a heavy dose of punishment.

This kind of thinking is the reason kindergarten kids get suspended for pretending their finger is a gun.
