The battle over nutrition for young people has escalated in one Toronto school, where kids now are banned from bringing any junk food in their packed lunches.

The new policy at James S. Bell Junior Middle School in suburban Etobicoke, which covers grades one to nine, now bars students from bringing snacks like chocolate, candy, pop and chips. Only fresh, healthy foods will be allowed, CTV News reports.

Even granola bars are verboten as an everyday snack, although they're apparently allowed on special occasions such as holidays. Granola bars? The high levels of sugar, salt and other dodgy ingredients make them dubious health snacks, as the Globe and Mail noted a few years back.

“If we do find something like a box of Smarties or a KitKat bar … we will just kindly ask the student to take it home,” school principal John Currie told CTV News.

I wonder how they would respond to Frito's Corn Chip which has three ingredients in them -- corn, corn oil, salt. Granted the corn is probably GMO but still what is defined as junk food about this product? It is a chip the school is saying is junk food.
