What the petition asks
Children's obesity is soaring, however school menus are still unhealthy with pasties, sweet desserts etc being served daily
Healthy eating habits start in childhood, and with illnesses such as Covid affecting people with obesity more, it is much more important to ensure we give our children as much opportunity as possible to lead a healthy lifestyle.
