Schools not following healthy guidelines

Research has shown that reducing consumption of sweet drinks could reduce obesity in Australia by up to one third.
Sugary drinks have been proven to be linked with weight gain, tooth decay, reduction in bone density and fatty liver disease, and children are among the worst affected.
Children who drink sweet drinks regularly have been found to be more likely to be overweight, have low self esteem and have trouble focusing, but many school canteens are not adhering to healthy canteen guidelines.
2SER’s Elizabeth Pratt spoke with Chris Tate from the Healthy Kids Association.

But at least they drink fluoridated water so no worries then.
