Ex-Alaska Governor Dishes on Cookies and People Magazine Interview
Proposed new guidelines would limit the amount of sweets in classroom parties and reduce the number of holiday and birthday celebrations.
On the proposed regulations, Palin called Pennsylvania a "nanny state run amok." In protest, she brought 200 sugar cookies to a Bucks County school fundraiser Tuesday.
"I had to shake it up a little bit because I heard there is a debate going on in Pennsylvania over whether most schools condemn sweets, cakes, cookies, that type of thing," Palin said. "I brought dozens and dozens of cookies to these students."
Instead, parents would be encouraged to serve healthy snacks, such as fruits or vegetables.
The Pennsylvania State Board of Education is scheduled to vote on the proposed guidelines this spring.
"You shouldn't have been making these decisions about what you can eat at the school. Should it be the government or should it be the parents?" Palin asked.
