This article provided a few chuckles. The article is supposedly about a school in England banning junk food from their menu and having kids eat healthier. What I got out of it was a battle of power. The kids sound rebellious, and one student says to get back at the school's actions he is going to "gather as much bread as he can and put half an inch of butter on each slice."

Parents started selling hamburger's to the kids on the way to school, trying to almost give the addicts of junk food their drug before they enter the school building.

I think it caused controversy because the school did not consulte anyone, they did not send letters home, they just cut the student's off of their junk food. The power they have to act like that angered the parent and student population.

The article is interesting. It's good to know American's aren't the only people who obsess over food this way. Other countries are trying to "ween their students off" of unhealthy food as well because obesity is in their future.
