Community leaders at the forefront of creating robust communities

In a recent development, a new policy proposal has been put forth to address the rising issue of obesity in the country. The proposal, if implemented, will introduce stricter regulations on junk food advertising and offer incentives for businesses that adopt healthier food options.

The policy also suggests a ban on the sale of sugary drinks in schools, aiming to curb unhealthy food choices among children. To further promote healthier lifestyles, the proposal recommends regular health checks for children in schools and increased funding for school meal programs.

In an effort to foster partnerships and promote healthier options, the policy proposal suggests partnering with food industry leaders. Additionally, a tax on sugary drinks is proposed to fund various health initiatives.
