NJ Schools Banning Junk Food
http://www.cnn.com/2005/EDUCATION/06....ap/index.html
Can you see little Johnny selling Ho Ho's out of his locker like crack between classes? :reechy:
TRENTON, New Jersey (AP) -- Junk food and soda will be all but expelled from New Jersey public schools by the start of the 2007-08 academic year under regulations announced by the state Monday.
The new rules will halt selling or serving foods during the school day that are high in fat and sugar. Even portions of whole milk will be rationed.
"We are setting New Jersey's children on a course they can follow even as adults for longer, healthier and more enjoyable lives," acting Gov. Richard J. Codey said.
The rules will ban all drinks except lowfat milk, water and 100 percent fruit or vegetable juices from elementary schools. The policy is more relaxed for middle and high school students, allowing some sales of flavored iced teas and sports drinks.
Soda and candy will be allowed sold only after school, though the rules will not affect children who bring their own food. Private schools that supply students with federally funded meals also will have to follow the rules.
