U.K. Bans Soft Drinks, Junk Food From School Vending
Schools in the U.K. will be banned from selling junk food from vending machines beginning next September, said education secretary Ruth Kelly.
She told delegates at the annual Labour Party conference the ban will also apply to “low-quality” fast food served in school canteens.
“I am absolutely clear that the scandal of junk food served every day in school canteens must end,” Kelly said.
