In Mexico, where the number of obese individuals has been on the rise since 1980, a ban on selling junk food in schools has been implemented. As part of the fight against obesity in Mexico, the sale of junk food in schools has been prohibited. With the increasing prevalence of obesity since 1980 in Mexico, a law banning the sale of junk food in schools to combat childhood obesity came into effect yesterday. Under the new law, high-calorie foods and drinks containing excessive sugar, salt, and fat will no longer be sold in schools. School administrations violating this law by not offering healthier food alternatives will face fines ranging from $545 to $5,450. However, experts pointed out that in some schools in the country, there is a lack of electricity and internet infrastructure, making it challenging to enforce this law effectively.
