In order to promote a culture of healthy food habits for children and to protect children from being overweight or obese, Mexico has asked all its private and government schools to limit sales of junk food.
The law does not ban sales of junk food in schools, but it requires private and public schools to control serving of all foods that are high in fat and sugar. About 30 percent of children and 70 percent of adults in Mexico are overweight.
