Next time patients go to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics to donate blood, they will not be able to buy delicious homemade cupcakes and cookies, the Daily Iowan reports. Because of new stringent guidelines put forth by the U.S. Department of Agriculture that went into effect July 1, the UIHC has decided that hosting bake sales is no longer worth the trouble and has banned them on hospital grounds.

Just one more example of the government trying to tell us what is best for us. I grew up in the 60's when we had fun playing in the neighborhood, riding bikes to wherever, selling lemonade on the street corner and nobody I ever knew was seriously injured, abducted or abused. Sure, wearing a helmet is a smart thing to do and so is wearing a seat belt, but sooner or later it comes down to personal choice... something which our government increasingly is taking away from us.
The idea that U of I can't have a bake sale is beyond ridiculous! The USDA needs to mind more important business. People, please vote for the candidate most likely to not infringe on your rights! We used to sing "let freedom ring." Now the the sound of freedom is getting harder and harder to hear. We need a smaller government.
