California to ban junk food in schools
At the bodybuilding event named for him, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Sunday that he wants to ban all sales of junk food in California schools and fill vending machines with fresh fruits, vegetables and milk. Schwarzenegger's comments came during a question-answer session with fans, when a questioner asked how he plans to combat youth obesity. "First of all, we in California this year are introducing legislation that would ban all the sale of junk food in the schools," Schwarzenegger said. Aides said later that the governor supports a bill by Democratic state Senator Martha Escutia that would ban soft drinks at public schools, and that the administration hopes to develop a more comprehensive legislative package dealing with snack foods.
