AP News · Mexico bans junk food sales in schools in its latest salvo against child obesityMexico says a government-sponsored junk food ban in schools has taken effect as the country tries to tackle one of the world’s worst obesity and diabetes epidemics. The health guidelines were first published last fall. They take a direct shot at salty and sweet processed products that have become a staple for generations of Mexican schoolchildren. They include sugary fruit drinks, packaged chips, artificial pork rinds and soy-encased and chili-flavored peanuts. Mexico’s Education Ministry announced that the ban was law as of Saturday. Mexico’s ambitious attempt to remake its food culture and reprogram the next generation of consumers is being watched closely around the world as governments struggle to turn the tide on a global obesity epidemic.
