O.K. they have gone too far now. The health inspector in Salem, MA has ruled that citizens can no longer bake goodies to be sold at bake sales. She is citing that these cookies, cakes, brownies etc... are being cooked up in uninspected kitchens. Well duh!

The particular bake sale she ruled on was the one that was to be held as a fund raiser for the Salem Senior Center. This is absolutely ridiculous. I would even go as far as to say that my mothers "uninspected" kitchen is cleaner than 99% of the "inspected" restaurant kitchens in Salem. What will they take away next? People should be allowed to make their own decisions as to whether they want to eat something baked in an unknown kitchen or not. Shame on this inspector and all of those who are sure to follow.
