Maharashtra Bans Junk Food in Schools to Combat Childhood Obesity

Maharashtra Bans Junk Food in Schools to Combat Childhood Obesity

The state of Maharashtra in India has decided to stop selling junk food like chips and sugary drinks in schools.

This is to help kids eat healthier and stay fit.

Doctors say that kids learn what to eat at school, so this rule can make a big difference.

But parents also need to give healthy meals at home and encourage kids to play and exercise.

If everyone works together, kids can grow up healthier and avoid problems like diabetes and heart disease later in life.
