Why would you care? You're from India :P

Jokes aside, I think it could be a step in the right direction, especially for kids from poverished families which have no chance at all to eat healthy outside of school.

Yup. Imo children should never have been able to buy this stuff by theirselves before reaching a certain age (8-12 maybe). So fucking unhealthy....

My school already does that but it nice to see these kind of rules become laws to help kids. Mostly because there are lot of fat kids (no offence) and it is a problem.

This is good but people will find there way to unhealthy food somehow. Unhealthy food should be more expensive than healthy food though, which could help with people's health

I bet you can still buy ice cream at lunch.

Yeah let's take away the task of parenting...

A lot of hunger advocates will be angry about this.

sounds like a good plan

And what if people want to eat unhealthy food more than to be healthy?

If you tax unhealthy food why not tax sedentary activities? A 30% book tax to encourage exercise? 

I saddens me how little respect there is for individual liberty nowdays.

This will unevenly effect the poor as the rich can just choose more expensive food if they want it more healthy, but the poor simply have to choose food that taste worse if they can't afford unhealthy food that taxing it will do.

People need to start taking care of themselves better rather than relying on government taking away all the bad choices they can make.

There is ALWAYS a shop just around the corner from a school. Kids will buy from there. Or their parents will continue to give them unhealthy stuff. These rules never work.
