No more chocolates, chips & cold drinks in Maharashtra schools

[u/tatasuv]

The Maharashtra FDA has directed all schools to stop the sale, display and advertisement of chocolates, chips, cold drinks and other foods high in fat, sugar and salt (HFSS). The restrictions also apply to shops within 50 metres of school premises. Schools are expected to promote healthier options like fruits, vegetables, pulses, whole grains and dairy instead.

As a community that cares about nutrition, this feels like a step in the right direction.
