: Jodi:
:
: The Northern Diabetes Prevention Coalition (northern Saskatchewan) has put
: out a Nutrition Guidelines for Schools and another for Rink and Recreation
: Centres.  In the one for schools they state
:
: "school policy would stress "nutritious foods first" or "only nutritious
: foods" for:
:
: classrooms -through food experiences, food sampling, celebrations
: schools - in beverage machines, nutrition, snack and/or milk programs,
: canteens, cafeteria, fund raisers
: school community functions - field trips, recreation activities, school
: performances etc.
:
: I have a copy of this that someone gave me recently.  If you are
interested
: I could find out where to get it.
:
: Frankly I think we should all be concerned about this issue.  I sit on our
: local school parent advisory committee and school planning council and the
: amount of income being generated through bingo and corporate sponsorship
and
: corporate exclusivity contracts is slowly but surely becoming an income
: source with influence in the schools.  And then there are the health
issues
: involved.
