1. Ban unhealthy snacks and additives in school meals.
2. Make it mandatory to disclose all ingredients in school meals.
As a parent of 2 primary school children and a qualified Nutrition Therapist, I am concerned about the nutritional quality of school meals contributing to obesity and chronic conditions. School snacks and meals often contain various additives that are associated with serious health conditions, including cancer, autoimmune disorders, and can contribute to obesity.
