France junk food ban - Coming soon to the U.S.? "Starting in September 2005, vending machines will not be allowed in French schools. The French parliament took action on July 30 after reviewing the alarming statistics on youth obesity. Not only have they banned vending machines, but the new law also adds a tax on sugary alcoholic drinks and requires soft drink and junk food producers to choose between including a health warning on their televised advertisements and paying a tax equal to 1.5% of their advertising budget." France is also threatening to ban SUVs.
