Junk Food Now Being Banned In UK Schools
I was listening to public radio this morning and heard that junk food is now being banned in the UK, which is a victory for the campaigning Jamie Oliver. The Department for Education was announced today that carbonated beverages, chips & chocolate are to be banned from school lunches as part of national measures to improve the nutritional quality of school meals.
This nutritional move follows a ban on junk food in vending machines as well as celebrity chef Jamie Oliver’s ‘Feed Me Better’ campaign to get better quality & nutritionally-sound food back in the schools.
Education Secretary, Alan Johnson stated: “These new standards will start to undo decades of neglect.”
The Biscuit, Cake, Chocolate & Confectionery Association insisted that a ban on sweets would see children go hungry & encourage an underground railroad of candy & food sales. What a crock, if you ask me.
Well, it looks as if we’re on the right track to healthy. Hoping you have a lovely weekend.
