Marmite And Breakfast Clubs
EDM number 2279 in 2007-08, proposed by David Drew on 16/10/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Health education and preventive medicine and Schools.
That this House applauds the aim of the Welsh Assembly Government of promoting healthier food in schools; is concerned however that councils may be taking this welcome initiative too far by banning Marmite in breakfast clubs in schools; recognises that Marmite is relatively high in salt; but asks for common sense to be applied as a scraping of marmite or equivalent yeast-based spread can be part of a balanced diet, and a ban may be seen as counter productive in the quest for healthy living as it produces negative publicity.
This motion has been signed by a total of 16 MPs.
