  • arcticJKL, on 01/10/2008, -0/+1The article title is wrong. It should read,
    "Greenwich, Conn. School Stops Selling Desserts"

    The school is not banning desserts, it will no longer sell them. Loving parents who make their kids lunches can still pack whatever they want. If my kid went there I would pack an extra dessert for him to sell!
