This is a little bit much. Zoning and permitting law has gone too far when towns start shutting down kids’ lemonade stands (or, in this case, organic vegetable stands).

From the ABC News story:

Call it a rite of passage: children by the roadside peddling their homemade goodies to adults who are more than eager to drop a few cents into a makeshift cashbox.

But Katie and Sabrina Lewis’ veggie stand, in the town of Clayton, Calif., where they sold homegrown watermelons for $1, has been shuttered by town officials who told the girls’ parents that their daughters’ venture violated local zoning ordinances.
