United Arab Emirates has taken a significant step towards promoting healthy eating habits among students by banning junk food, including sugary snacks and processed meals, in schools across the country.
According to Dubai’s Ministry of Education, the Emirati Ministry of Education has directed schools to focus on providing students with nutritious meals, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy products and baked or roasted foods.
The Ministry has also instructed school administrations to inspect the lunchboxes of students to ensure that they are not consuming unhealthy food items.
The move comes as a result of a successful campaign by UAE’s media personality, Tarik Rahman, who has been advocating for a healthier diet among students.
