The Food Nazis of the Left have go to go.
Fact. How do you think this fine will be paid???????
With Federal Money that was to go to the education of the kids. Now there is just less money to do the job, just because someone had a can of Pop.

The federal government is reportedly suing Davis High School in Salt Lake City, Utah for accidentally selling soda to kids during lunch time -- a violation of federal law. The violation is costing the school $0.75 per student (that's about $15,000 total) and forcing it to make budget cuts elsewhere to pay for the offence. Remarkably, some people are upset.
Principal Dee Burton told KUTV, "The rule is vague and open to interpretation. For example, the way the rule reads -- you can buy before lunch starts a carbonated beverage, buy school lunch, sit down in the cafeteria, eat the school lunch and not be in violation ... You can sell Snickers and Milkyway bars because they have nuts and they're nutritious. You can't sell licorice, but you can sell ice-cream ... The misconception is if we don't let kids buy candy and pop, we drive them to the cafeteria, it doesn't drive them to the cafeteria it drives them off campus." Does it sound fair to you?

Isn;t this better left to the parents and residents of the school system?
Besides 15k will do what? Buy a dinner for the Judges meeting in Hawaii..

This is a perfect example of why Obama and his minions have got to go. Also a good example of where the government can save money - get rid of the Soda Police.
