This is one of those stories I used to love to come across when I was a reporter. It is political correctness to the absurd degree.
Some officious state inspector decides that a bunch of women who have baked pies for a church fund-raiser have somehow violated the law.
You see, they baked the pies at home and not a "State inspected" kitchen. Of course, the state will be happy to inspect the home kitchens for a $35 fee. Sheeesh.
If you want, the whole NPR account is here.

I get your point, and you're right, but this is a big government story,not a political correctness story.
Huh. Maybe that's why one of the biggest peanut product suppliers in the country was able to knowingly release salmonella-tainted peanuts that killed or sickened thousands of people. Instead of big government watching over big business, it was preoccupied with protecting me from my neighbor's apple pie.
You can't make this stuff up, can you?
My wife used to make dishes for the Flint Rescue Mission on the night our church was in charge until something like this shut that idea down. Just what we need to do in this economy, make the missions more expensive to operate.
