Junk food could soon become a thing of the past at events held in the Municipality of Lunenburg. Council has approved a healthy eating policy that will see more nutritional foods at all recreation facilities, municipal events, fundraisers and vending machines in the district. Mayor Don Downe says the policy is the next step.Downe says Nova Scotia has the highest obesity rates in Canada and the South Shore has the highest obesity rates in the province. The policy will be put into place right away and will provide mostly nutritional foods with some unhealthy options during the phase-in period.
