Forget bake sales: This elementary school is set to raise $50,000 because they grew wheat as a school project.
Wheat is so expensive these days that an Australian elementary school in New South Wales decided to teach their kids how to grow wheat as a school project and sell it for a fundraiser.
The wheat was grown on a block of land behind the school donated by a former student for the project.

2023 is almost here.
They fired us.
They kicked us out of school.
They lied.
They killed people.
They built literal concentration camps.
Fuck them. They don’t have any authority because they’re a joke. They have force and that’s it. Don’t recognize it. Don’t recognize any of it. They’re illegitimate.
Resist.
Do not comply.
2023 is our year.
The restrictions that took effect in July stem from the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act championed by first lady Michelle Obama and her "Let's Move!" campaign. The law overhauled nutrition standards affecting more than 30 million children. Among the changes: fatty french fries were out, while baked sweet potato fries were deemed to be fine.
The law also required the U.S. Department of Agriculture to set standards for all food and beverages sold during the school day, which includes vending machines, snack carts and daytime fundraisers. It allowed for "infrequent" fundraisers, and states were allowed to decide how many bake sales they would have that didn't meet nutrition standards.
Without state-approved exemptions, any treats sold would have to meet calorie, sodium, fat and other requirements. The law permits states to fine schools that don't comply. Forget about buttery, salty popcorn, for instance. Kernels sold on site during the day must contain no more than 230 milligrams of sodium per serving until 2016, when it drops even lower. No more than 35% of calories in an item can come from total fat.
In advance of the law, some schools had already banned students from a near-sacred activity: setting up tables to sell boxes of Girl Scout cookies during the day. There are also those that have replaced food-centric fundraisers with calorie-free events such as wrapping-paper sales, pie-throwing events and bowl-a-thons. Others have prohibited homemade fare in favor of processed items where the nutritional information is calculated and displayed.
At least 12 states have also already adopted limits on bake-sale foods on their own - providing a taste of what's to come for hundreds of schools nationwide.
