no need....... as school's are not providing any such foods to their students.....Good quality healthy foods are served in many schools....... more  
this just nothing but as if U are not able to control your self as result so U want to control others more  
This is other way of introducing local food verities which are readily available everywhere. I do not think it is necessary because the so called banned food is actually never served in any local schools. more  
Very good decision for the well being of our young generation. Shall show results in the years to come. Congratulations to the decision makers. Keep it up. more
