WHAT'S GOIN' ON?

Trying to live a practical, but compassionate life towards all living creatures (animal, mineral, vegetable, humanable) without being a self-righteous ass.

Cupcakomicon

I love the New York Times. For daily news I prefer BBC, because of the global outlook and the short punchy articles. But the NYT has the craziest stories! For example, I did not know that there is a Raging Cupcake Controversy going on in the US! Lordy!

I guess some schools want to ban bringing cupcakes to school, presumably as part of this larger debate over junk food in schools. I understand all that, and frankly if I'm going to apply the Wojciekowski Err on the Safe Side Rule, I'd rather schools went overboard in being healthy than the way they are now.

But should we stop serving cupcakes at birthday parties? Hell no! For heaven's sake, what would life be without cake? Unthinkable, that's what. Just look at the adorable confections that Moskowitz comes up with at Vegan Cupcakes:
