This Can Lead to Child Obesity..

I used to think that if a school had healthier, tastier food- students would be happy with the new decisions, but Point Grey Secondary School is losing the junk food war. The school revamped the program about two years ago to meet new food regulations. There are only a few significant changes- but their lunchroom food was still much better than ours. Yet, when the lunch bell rings the students flock to the 7-Eleven, McDonald's, and Flying Wedge where you can get some big greasy, delicious pizza and a soda for only $3.50. This adds up to over 900 calories-if the students get the complementary cookie...and let's face it. (Who would turn down a cookie?) This proves that if U.S. lunchrooms stop serving junk food on campus- they will go elsewhere to get it by any means necessary.
