Sorry to start a new thread but the original subject matter seems to have gone out of the window on the other thread. Still its refreshing to see good old fashioned mud-slinging on all sides. 
If the diets of working class children is so poor and devoid of nourishment, one solution could be for the states schools to provide good quality school lunches and free milk. It worked in the past.
Trying to control what the parents buy will not always work as corrupt shopkeepers will exchange even milk tokens for fags.

Do children still get free milk?
I know they've introduced free fruit, which is a really good idea. I think they should provide only healthy school dinners because children from low-income families get free dinners so obviously then they'd be getting one healthy meal five times a week. However they make a nice profit on chips, crisps and cakes, so I doubt they'd stop selling them.
Physical education in schools should be concentrated more on health and fitness too and encourage young people to respect their bodies.
I also think a campaign for healthy eating should be proposed. If you got David Beckham and the like advertising apples, carrots and oranges I'm sure that would have an effect on the younger generation's eating habits.
Maybe he takes the equivalent vouchers to the value of the cigarettes. eg Milk voucher say worth 40p. Six vouchers = ten Lamberts
Totally agree but I can imagine our politicians would be more interested in the profit margins, I'm still trying to work out how in a relatively well off country our schools can run out of money, while we spend millions on an empty dome in London. :eek2:
True, but stopping a good initiative because of possible fraud is useless.
