Im from Australia, and we are facing a huge problem with Childhood Obesity, as im sure other countries are too. One idea that the Government is talking about is 'Fatty' food being banned in the school canteens, that way, they wont have as much acess to it at school and it will be replaced by healthier food. I think its a great idea, it will help teach them better food choices for later in life. What do you guys think? Should it be banned? Is there any point? Or are there any other ideas of what we can do? Thanks!

nothing like ban it completely. but yes there should be a control on all these things. children diets should be monitored somehow. becuase if there are childern who should avoid it then there are dhildren too who need it.

food - food
i think that is a great idea as well, and i think something really needs to be done about the parents providing so much fatty food to the children as well, i dont know what should be done,but the main problem is i think is what they eat at home with the parents and family. and then that encourages them to eat rubbish foods at school. thats my thoughts
