This is my old headteacher, Mal Davies of Willows High School, talking about sugary snacks being sold in vending machines on school property, which Cardiff Council are refusing to remove.
“Young people can bring sugary drinks into schools from elsewhere. There are other sources still available in the community. Shutting it off in schools isn’t going to close it off to the kids. We have seen that educating in healthy eating is the key.
“Stopping over eating and drinking fizzy drinks is our aim but we can only move towards it by educating the diet of youngsters rather than just banning it.”
What a hack.
Would you get an addict off heroine, teach them how it is bad, then dangle it in front of them to see if they bite?
