BOSTON -- There's a new push on Beacon Hill to ban some junk food in public schools in Massachusetts.

NewsCenter 5's Shiba Russell reported Wednesday that for about four years, legislators have been discussing a junk food bill. Two versions are up for debate at a public hearing. They don't want to ban all junk food. It is more about limiting unhealthy food.

"I just some chips and a juice, and that's it. It's not like I am going to go out and buy it every day," said student Evana Johnson.

Students joined parents and educators outside the Statehouse to push for the passage of a junk food bill. The goal is to establish a statewide nutritional standard for items sold in public school vending machines, stores and at fundraisers.

"Many of our children have access to junk foods and junk sodas and beverages. All they have to do is put their lunch money in the machines and they get junk food instead of good food," Rep. Peter Koutoujian said.

The House version of the bill limits junk food by packages size -- a 1.25 ounce limit on chips, crackers and popcorn and no sodas or sports drinks. The Senate version is based on calories, and allows diet sodas and sports drinks.

"Some people they want to change, but, like, they can't really push themselves to do it, so I think this will help people more," student Sagga Ramsey said.
