Remove Sugary Foods from School Menus in England to Promote Children's Health.

Petition Details

We urge the Government to amend the School Food Standards to remove high-sugar items like puddings, jellies, and cakes from school menus and offer nutritious alternatives such as fresh fruit, yoghurt, or low-sugar options instead.

Additional Information

There has been a rise in childhood obesity and related health issues such as type 2 diabetes and tooth decay. We believe schools play a vital role in shaping children's dietary habits and by eliminating sugary foods, we can help create an environment that promotes long-term health, reduces the strain on the NHS, and fosters a culture of wellness for future generations.
We therefore call on Parliament to discuss and implement stricter nutritional guidelines in school meal programmes in England.

If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
