In Mexico, where the number of obese individuals has been increasing since 1980, the sale of junk food in schools has been banned. As part of the fight against obesity in Mexico, the sale of junk food in schools has been prohibited. The law banning the sale of junk food in schools to combat childhood obesity in Mexico, where the number of obese individuals has been increasing since 1980, came into effect yesterday. Under the new law, high-calorie foods and beverages containing excessive sugar, salt, and fat will no longer be available for sale in schools. School administrations found to violate this law by not offering healthier food alternatives will face fines ranging from $545 to $5,450. However, experts have pointed out that some schools in the country lack electricity and internet infrastructure, making it difficult to enforce this law.
