School leaders are getting ready for a big change in school food service.The USDA’s Smart Snacks in School rules go into effect July 1, 2014. It affects the 100,000+ elementary, middle and high schools.

I'm not a fan of "junk food," but it seems extreme to ban it from schools. Kids will just bring it in from home. A candy bar, soda or bag of chips in moderation is not a big deal if you eat a generally healthy balance diet. I don't think this will stop kids from eating it when they get home, or sneaking it in.

What do you think?
