Melton sporting clubs being paid to take ‘junk food’ off canteen menu

At least seven sporting clubs in the Melton area have been given financial incentives to take junk food off the canteen menu.

The sporting clubs are being paid up to $1000 each to make the changes.

Jane Martin from the Obesity Policy Coalition says it’s important to make healthy choices easier.

‘I don’t think it’s about taking everything that’s unhealthy off the menu,’ she said on 3AW Mornings.

‘I think it’s about trying to support people to have choices and some of those to be healthy.’
