(46,179 posts)Maybe one of several efforts.
First of all, return working kitchens to schools, where FRESH food is cooked on site daily. Ban pre-prepared, over-processed junk food from school menus and ban junk drinks and junk foods from vending machines at schools. Remove most of the sugar from the ingredient list...start with chocolate milk.
Some sort of stronger regulation about what sort of food can be offered at school outside of the cafeteria might be interesting to explore. Of course, that's just me wishing that parents would quit dropping off sugar for every birthday, and that colleagues would quit using candy for rewards.
Some public service announcements touting fresh, healthy food could be helpful.
It would be nice if we could simply ban over-processed "food" products altogether, but that's unrealistic. Maybe some sort of subsidy to encourage HEALTHY or healthier fast food restaurants, if that's not an oxymoron.
