I don't participate in those. The best is when they say we don't want the kids going door to door cause it's not safe but we need this sold so I"m like...oh you want me to buy it huh? Yea not happening.

Here in Michigan it has only recently become legal for schools to have bake sales for fundraising. There was absolutely no problem with shady charities coming in and taking 40% of fundraiser sales but all hell broke loose when families tried to sell cookies in the hallways on weekends to raise money for the schools.

Schools get commissions from the picture sales, too. Soon they will probably offer monthly photos.

why would people be mad about the bake sale? because the people making them aren't licensed or something?

exactly. Even though we have a 'cottage law' that states you can make and sell food at markets, craft shows, stores, etc. as long as it is labelled with a warning that it was not prepared in a licensed commercial kitchen.

groups against bake sales said that often children make the cookies and could be forced into baking so much that it constitutes child labor violations.

I don't know about anyone else but I have never met a child that ever gets tired of helping bake treats in the kitchen.

same...and it's not like it's a 9-5, 5 day a week business even if it's a lot of baking in a 1 week period or something, hell, it'll just teach them the benefits of volunteering. I don't see anything wrong with that.

$2 billion philanthropic effort
On Twitter Thursday, Jeff Bezos — likely the richest man in the world, with a net worth well north of $150 billion — announced a $2 billion philanthropic effort to help homeless families and start a network of preschools. “The child will be the customer,” the Amazon CEO, just a totally normal and helpful guy, wrote in his statement.
