The Wake County school system, which bans Moon Pies and Little Debbie's from being sold in elementary school cafeterias, wants you to buy pizza.

School board vice chairwoman Debra Goldman had announced at last week's board meeting that Wake County Papa John's pizza restaurants would be donating a portion of their Oct. 20 proceeds to all schools in the district.

The Wake County Corporate Operators and Franchisee of Papa John's Pizza will calculate a three-week average of Wednesday sales, and then donate 20 percent of all October 20 pizza sales above that average.

Another Southern institution has been removed by the Wake County school system.

As noted in today's article, Moon Pies have been removed from the list of snacks sold at Wake elementary school cafeterias. In addition, middle and high school vending machines will no longer contain snacks with more than 200 calories or packages with more than one serving.

Whole wheat hamburger buns and hoagie rolls are now in while most white breads are gone from Wake cafeterias.
