House Votes To Ban Soda & Candy In Mass. Schools

On Thursday, the Massachusetts House approved a bill that would allow Massachusetts to ban "high-calorie sodas and salty and sugary snacks from elementary and high schools." Those who backed the bill and agree with this motion feel that removing such snacks is the key to the fight against child obesity. Along with banning certain foods, the bill also pushes schools to serve whole grain foods and low fat dairy products. The bill is now on it's way to the senate.
