Health authorities push for school canteen crackdown | Sky News Australia

Peak health bodies have called for school canteens to be monitored across the country in a bid to tackle Australia's obesity crisis.

Deakin University's Institute for Health Transformation and the Obesity Policy Coalition have called for a national approach that forces schools to only offer healthy food. While most schools in most states have healthy canteen policies, the majority of tuckshops outside New South Wales are not policed and continue to offer unhealthy choices.

Lunchbox choices start at home. Parents are the custodians of their kids' diets. We don't need more government intervention in the wrong areas to deal with a public health issue that is primarily caused by personal choice. Another proposal of feel-good rather than do-good policy.

peak health you look after your own family i will look after mine f/off and return tax payers money
