UK announces plans to ban school junk food

Junk food high in fat, salt or sugar is to be banned in schools across England within a year, Education Secretary Ruth Kelly announced on Wednesday.

"Teachers know that eating well at school encourages good behavior and children getting better results," she told Sky News.

Kelly said school governors would have a responsibility for the food they served and said Ofsted inspectors would check it.
