Mexico has a serious obesity and diabetes problem. Worse then the U.S. even, though only by a couple tenths a percent currently. Makes sense to try and rein it in.

Yeah but you can still offer healthy snacks, back in my school I could buy apples, bananas, other fruits in season. Sure, I would like that stuff to be free for kids, but in the meantime might as well sell it. If it's really bad, you could set a limit of items per person.
