Ontario is taking action to make schools healthier places to learn by moving to drop trans fat from lunchroom menus.

"Our kids' health is just too important to risk,"said Premier Dalton McGuinty. "Trans fats have no place in our schools and we've got to act now."

Legislation to be introduced tomorrow would drop trans fat from school cafeteria menus and vending machines. It builds on earlier action to ban junk food in elementary schools and a call for 20 minutes of daily exercise.
