Question of the Day: Junk food ban

Lamenting the garbage your child buys at school with the lunch money you send in? If fries, a candy bar and a Snapple doesn't sound like a well-rounded meal to you, Congress is in your corner. The proposed National School Lunch Act would ban junk food from schools -- from the cafeteria, from the vending machines, even from the fund-raisers. That's good news to parents who are worried about obesity and diabetes and food allergies and bad teeth, but bad news to schools who finance special programming with profits from vending machines and fund-raisers, and to students who want to drown their academic sorrows in a peanut-butter cup.
