Nanny Nation Notification

The government of Massachusetts has always been long on big brotherism and short on brains. They continue in that tradition with a proposal to ban “junk” foods from high school cafeterias, vending machines, and get this: bake sales. Before mom can bring in her cookies or cupcakes, she’ll have to send them off for an expensive nutritional analysis.

One sure sign you’re dealing with a nanny: they use the phrase “a level playing field.” It’s the nannies second favorite expression, right behind “for the children.”
