Palin also denounced government intervention, bringing up a local example that she said caught her attention. Pennsylvania’s proposed school nutrition guidelines would limit the number of sweets in classroom parties and encourage parents to serve more healthy snacks. Palin began her remarks at the Plumstead Christian School's Founders Forum by complimenting a student who had just finished performing, asking if he would like to sing at an inauguration, and then added, "not necessarily mine," as the crowd cheered. On Monday, she also tweeted, " Hmm...may bring cookies to my PA school speech tmrw to make a pt "PA mulls ban on cake/cookies/candy@ school parties.. http://bit.ly/dvoI6d," linking to a story in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review about the proposed ban. The Tribune-Review has since retracted its original story, and posted this correction on Tuesday: 
 
 "A story on page B1 of Monday's Tribune-Review incorrectly portrayed the Pennsylvania State Board of Education's proposed nutrition guidelines for school parties. Before meeting with the students, Palin tweeted, "2 PA school speech; I'll intro kids 2 beauty of laissez-faire via serving them cookies amidst school cookie ban debate;Nanny state run amok!"
– Who knew nutrition guidelines were a Tea Party bugaboo? Sarah Palin's post-election focus on the issues has gone from monetary policy to ... cookies. The Alaskan brought cookies to a Pennsylvania elementary school yesterday to slam government interference pressing for healthier eating, ABC News reports. Pennsylvania is a "nanny state run amok," she wrote on Twitter, linking to a Pittsburgh Tribune-Review story about a proposal to limit sugary foods at school parties. "Who should be deciding what I eat? Should it be government or should it be parents? It should be the parents," she told a cheering crowd at a fundraiser later that day. Pennsylvania school officials, however, say Palin's characterization of the issue as a "cookie ban" is dead wrong, and that administrators are simply seeking ways to encourage schools to serve more nutritious foods, CNN notes. The Tribune-Review has retracted the story Palin linked to, and has published a correction.
