annefood 8yr Interesting kids and women are the same. -
JenniferEmilson 8yr Heard this today as well. And toddlers should have NONE. Should be interesting, even with tv advertising etc. -
LezEngel 8yr Wow, this is big. The new nutrition labels, which will separate added sugars from naturally occurring, will help flag those extra sugary products--if people read them! -
munchiemummy 8yr I love that this is finally being said in the states. I hope that food packaging changes so that parents are more aware of what they're giving their children! -

It's time for a major #realschoolfood nutritional revamp!!!! -
