Modern Health Education Act (Final Vote)

[Ban my account ffs!]

You must define what exceedingly unhealthy or junk food means.  Prepackaged, processed foods with a certain amount of sugars or fat?  Is no dessert allowed in the lunch?

I know the system is far different in Canada (my bf's schools had no lunch program at all).

It is too vague and subject to the interpretation of petty tyrants everywhere.

Also: many schools operate concession stands at sporting events for spectators.  No more hotdogs or popcorn at the football games?

Section 1b stipulates distribution of junk food on school property.  Most sporting events are on school property.

You could amend it to say "while school is in session".  Also, any food made at the school or central facility specifically for the school would be exempt.  Everyone needs a soft m&m cookie now and then.

Yes, those cookies are to die for, especially when they're greasy enough to melt through the napkin...


BUT, I have to say, that's sort of why I put this clause in the bill. Isn't it a good idea to stop selling this stuff on the premises? If kids want it they can go off-property.

Kids are not allowed off property.  And having a cookie with your lunch isn't going to kill them. 

What kills them is washing it all down with 20oz of coke or a package of powdered mini donuts that features mechanically separated beef and enough preservatives to preserve a small mammal for eternity.
