Lawmakers try to junk sweets in schools - Newsday.com

So kids only eat at school? How is banning these foods at school going to solve the problem. The problem begins at home with a generation of parents who do not know how to say NO to their children, and never encourage them to leave the couch and their playstation to go out and perform an activity.

These foods were always available in schools in the past and there was not an overwhelming obesity problem. So it makes sense then that these are not the cause of the problem. Spend money teaching parents how to BE parents.
