This is simply cost -v- health and govts make sure costs win every time. Ironically, it is the more expensive way to go as health costs skyrocket dealing with obesity, cancers and the like.
As with the environment, the debate will get louser and more important as time goes on until something positive is done. But alas, I suspect not for the current generation of children, but I do hold hope for their children.

This question raised is like an unexploded bomb.
Or like playing with fire.
It trembles the whole western sociaty.

Who is responsible for the children? In all senses.
Parents or the “Government”?
Should Parents have a choice to select their preffered solutions for their kids?
What about muslims regarding meat-food served at Schools?
What about kids that suffer from cöliakati etc?
What about Vegetarians?
Is it a smart idea to serve all kids the same food, without considering each individual’s needs?
Will the Schools Kitchens live up to “clean” standards.
Why does parents serve their kids fast food?
Why does parents serve their kids only food that their childs love?

Mrs Lifecruiser, you are about to detonate a huge bomb. A bomb that is very relevant for our modern societies.

PS. None of my 4 kids have never ever beeing over weighted.
I was very strict when they asked for sweets when shopping together: I, simply said: Papa can not afford it. After the second time I said so, they have never asked for sweets.
But, they have got what I found reasonable. And they are happy 4 that.

btw. Gosh, another long comment. I need obviously to do something else but work, work, work.

It all started beginning the 60th, before we all had "Bio" food (or nothing) the chicken ran around free and we had happy cows. We went with our shopping bags do our shopping and vegetables grew like it had always be done. And then suddenly we were forced to use plastic bags, chicken don't run free anymore, pigs get hormon shots to get the fatter etc. etc. and now .... what happens ? we have to go all the way back to the 60th ! What was normal became now BIO ! that gets on my nerves ! Gattinas last blog post..

I wish people did just a little of what I try to do. I have my little garden, my fruit trees and I recycle everything possible. It's a start. Maribeths last blog post..Being Missed

When its a question of profit vs. health (or environment), profit always wins. That’s the simple truth. Let’s say you’re short of money, and you have the option of buying costly health food or some cheap food that is dangerous (relatively speaking) for the environment. Most people in this situation would say to heck with the environment, and buy the cheap food.
