Speechless...kinda like prohibition.

"One way around the problem is the school’s lunch accounts, Nason said. Parents can monitor what their kids are eating by putting money on their lunch cards to buy school meals instead of handing them cash.

But as long as kids can get candy, from the store and at home, they will continue to bring it to school, Nason said."

Whenever there is a demand for something, someone will turn up to supply it.

I have yet to hear of a prohibition of anything being successful....it just doesn't work.
