In Bid to Improve Nutrition, Schools Expel Soda and Chips

May 20, 2002

By TIMOTHY EGAN

The two biggest states, Texas and California, are moving

toward phasing out junk food in schools, as are many school

districts in other states.

>get the food war on!

Nah, no need for a war.

I'll admit that I didn't read the article (don't do the times and its

gateway). but from things I've read there are two issues. One is an

attempt to control what parents pack in a kids lunch. I find this

reprehensible. The other is putting an end to the whoredom whereby

schools get money for having Pepsi or Coke machines. If the schools

are to function _in loco parentis_, they have an obligation to

provide the best nutrition possible. I don't pay taxes so that the

schools can be corporate pushers,
