Schools in Mexico have six months to ban junk food sales or face hefty fines, a measure aimed at tackling the country's severe childhood obesity crisis.
The new rules prohibit the sale of sugary drinks, chips, and other unhealthy snacks that have become common in Mexican schools.
Schools that violate the ban will face fines that could amount to nearly a year’s wages, a significant deterrent for school administrators.
The government plans to provide alternatives like water fountains and healthier snacks like bean tacos, aiming to promote healthier eating habits among students.
