Effort to Limit Junk Food in Schools Faces Hurdles

I’m of two minds on this particular issue. Anything the American Beverage Association supports immediately has my suspicion. But I do tend to side with the Center for Science in the Public Interest. I suspect the beverage folk will see smaller portions as a way to sell more portions (ka-ching!).

The oddest thing, in my view, is that school lunches fall under the purview of the Dept. of Agriculture. That’s letting the foxes determine henhouse security. Let the Surgeon General dictate school lunch policy, or at least the Dept. of Education.

What do you think?
