Arnold Terminates Junk Food

Okay, cheezy title I know :) From The Denver Channel

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is promoting legislation that would encourage healthier food and drinks in schools, including a bill that would extend a statewide ban on soft drinks from lower grades to high schools.

Moreover,

Schwarzenegger also urged lawmakers to pass a bill that would only allow high schools to sell soda 30 minutes before and after the school day. During the day, schools could sell water, milk, sports drinks and drinks that are at least 50 percent fruit juice with no added sweeteners.

I think it’s this is a good step in the right direction. American children are exposed to far too much junk food. Schools should be a “safe haven” for healthy eating.
