We have known as a community that junk food is bad for children.There have been any of studies done where children's behaviour(and prisoner's) have improved considerably.So much so that I know several sets of parents who decided to remove as much junk food and E additives from their childrens diets and swore that it made a profound difference.IN fact one friend of my son's could never have crisps,coke,or anything that contained E additives or sugar because he became a monster..I can say that when he did have them he did become high as a kite.The school certainly knew the effect it had on him.Even my daughter decided to voluntarily cut her coke cola intake because she found she got too giggly and silly after drinking it.
So I think it is time that we stood up to big business about this..I'm positive if parents use their power as consumers to insist that they provide healthier food in school they can win.Nestle could attest to the effect of consumer power.So can Barclays who were forced by customers changing allegiance to rethink their presence in South Africa during the aparthied years.We the customer/consumer SHOULD have the power to change things.All we need is the will.
