Its been proved that when Children cut down on eating processed cr*p, grades go up and trouble goes down.

So I think this is a good move.

They are not banning ice cream they are just removing them from outside school gates.

As an Adult if you want to fill your self with cr*p go for it.

But anything that helps us with the Children I am all for.

Incidentally my two children are a lot more behave since we switched from cola to smoothies as summer time drinks.

Is it the fact that it's "processed" or is it the sugar?

I eat whatever I want, whenever I want. (NOTE: if I do need to lose weight, I follow Atkins....easiest diet I ever had).

The only thing I keep doing (from Atkins) is that I only consume non-sugared beverages, which for a southerner is damn hard since I prevent myself from having sweet tea.

If kids are "hopped-up" on sugar (and caffeine), and sitting in a classroom with a teacher whose primary motivation is their union contract negotiations, I can't say I'm surprised their attention spans (and grades) suffer.

You say:
"But anything that helps us with the Children I am all for"

This is a very DANGEROUS attitude...one that is used by politicians (particularly Dems) to manipulate the public. This results in the situation in many cities where the public schools' per student cost is well above the cost of a decent private school education, and yet the students graduate as morons.

Remember, the most valuable thing a child can have is a loving (and married) biological Mother and Father (Female/Male...yeah, I said it). I speak from experience. I had no financial or social advantages growing up, but what I have are two parents who stayed together, and loved me (although I look back and think they may have spoiled me with attention a little too much). I am the first person in my Father's family to graduate college, and become moderately successful (through hard work, a value taught me by my family).

So, do you really think the Confederation of Education and Children’s Services Managers is providing good, wholesome food to the kiddies with their government-granted monopoly?

When did the government tell you to switch your kids from cola to smoothies? Since you obviously do not think parents are the ones who should make such decisions, I'm curious.
