study finds no childhood obesity link to junk food in schools

“This problem of childhood obesity cannot be placed solely in the hands of schools.”

I agree, but I would also say that school is a place for learning and I think that includes healthy eating habits. No matter what food preferences children establish before they get to school, their school should still reinforce good food choices by making them widely and easily available.
