9. Nutrition and Obesity Laws
Nutrition and obesity laws aim to ensure that children have access to healthy food options and reduce the prevalence of childhood obesity. These laws regulate food in schools, encourage better nutrition standards, and require nutrition labeling. They also promote physical activity programs and restrict unhealthy food marketing targeted at children. The goal is to create an environment that supports healthy eating habits and active lifestyles, ultimately improving children's health outcomes and reducing obesity-related issues. Such laws are essential for protecting children's well-being and helping them develop lifelong healthy habits.
