@Laurbubble:

Laura did you watch Jamie Oliver's show on school dinners in America? This isn't about what is nice for the kids and it isn't about just removing junk food from the school, its a matter of life and death now. Unless we start to change something its going to get very bad.

Agree with you 100%

I remember how this impacted primary school. In primary 1 and 2 they sold Capri-Sun, Crisps, cakes and chocolate.

Primary 3, 4, 5 & 6 the chocolate and Capri-Sun were removed and replaced with another decent fruit drink and pizza.

Primary 7. Tiny thin pizzas and (Fruit) and grape drinks that all tasted horrible.

I think that in primary schools kids should be given healthy food mostly, with chips maybe only once a week. But in high school they should be allowed to choose what they want to eat, they should have good healthy options though. Not every teenager wants chips for every lunchtime, especially canteen chips....

Was that 'advert' music from Monsters Inc.?..

I completely agree with you, I don't understand why people seem so supportive of limiting EVERYONE (this is not just about the food issue, btw) just because some are too weak and don't have the intelligence to say NO to certain things. For the record, I eat junk food on a daily basis, I have for years. Because I LIKE IT. The school systems here implemented the whole "take out the junk food" thing, and it didn't work, at least at mine. Kids just have their parents bring them pizza at lunch, etc.

@wejmiller Children that young should be monitored by adults when they're eating, don't you think? Parents affect what their children do and do not eat, and it's THEIR fault if their kid eats too much unhealthy stuff. She's speaking more about stuff like this going on in middle and high schools. If kids don't have healthy eating habits by then, the schools limiting what snacks they make available has no effect whatsoever. They'll just have their parents buy it for them before or after school.

Oh bravo, captain melodrama. As long as we completely remove all junk food from schools, kids will never get junk food and won't ever die. What's next? Banning sales of junk food in corner shops to people under 18? Please.

Watch the series! It's not about Jamie trying to ban junk food, and it's not about a 'nanny state'. You can't rely on children as young as five to choose a healthy option the majority of the time, when there is pizza/chips/flavoured-milk etc. as an option every single day!

Amen to that sista!! xD i'll join you and have some chocolate ;D <3
