Newsday.com:  “Parents and students at Tooker Avenue Elementary School bid a bittersweet adieu to home-baked goods Friday on the final day of class before a West Babylon district policy goes into effect that allows only prepackaged snacks.  ‘Goodbye Homemade,’ read the blue icing piped on the vanilla-frosted cake carried in by parent Tracy Friedman, who has a second-grader in the school. ‘This is a sad day,’ she said. ‘We are saying goodbye to a kid’s childhood.’  Under the wellness policy that takes effect Monday, all snack foods would have to meet nutrition guidelines set by the Alliance for a Healthier Generation or the New York State Nutrition Association’s Choose Sensibly guidelines.”
