No more potato chips in Polish Schools

A new healthy eating campaign in Polish schools is to deprive kids of their favourite snacks of crisps and candy being sold at the school shop.

Poland’s Chief Sanitary Inspectorate is preparing a revolution in snacks on offer at shops in Polish schools: by the end of this school year over a million junior high pupils won’t be able to buy fizzy drinks, crisps or candy bars on the school premises.

The Inspectorate’s action is an answer to what is perceived as a huge problem of obesity among Polish school pupils.
