Massachusetts
In 2011, the Massachusetts Public Health Council put a ban on sugary sodas in schools, in addition to sweet snacks and chips with artificial sweeteners and trans fats. This included any food sold in à la carte lines, vending machines, stores, events and even fundraisers. A cap was also put on the amount of fat, sodium and sugar contained in school foods, and fried foods were out as well. Whether or not this ban truly has an impact on the obesity problem or on the overall health of school kids remains a topic of debate.
Also, in Boston, it's illegal to eat peanuts in church.
