US kids' weight gains not due to junk food at schools
www.grub4life.org.uk today reports that the junk food sold at US schools does not appear to contribute to middle schoolers' weight gains, a new study says. 20-01-2012
In the study, no link was found between children's weight gain and the amount of time between fifth and eighth grade they attended schools that sold junk food, the researchers said. Even transferring from a school that did not sell junk food to one that did did not increase a child's likelihood of gaining weight. The findings suggest that efforts to combat childhood obesity might best be aimed at parents and the foods available at home and outside of school. With thanks to www.foxnews.com
