Believing that the health of minors is of the utmost importance, seeing as in this stage the most important steps in a beings development occur;
Further believing that in many cases, it is cheaper to provide products with a lesser nutritional value and this hinders the development of various species;
Assuming that it would be beneficial to all species to have a healthier populace;
Defines ‘consumables’ as any product intended to be eaten, drank, or otherwise, that provides nutritional value of some kind to the species upon use;
Defines ‘nutritional value’ as the benefit a consumable has on the development of, and continued health, of the being consuming it. A consumable high in nutritional value contains substances dependent on the species which are beneficial in development and in long term health, and a consumable low in nutritional value contains substances dependent on the species which are not beneficial to development or long-term health;
This World Assembly Hereby:
- Mandates that minors be educated thoroughly on the nutritional value of consumables that are commonplace in their nation. This education must include information pertinent to the nutritional needs of the species being taught;
- Requires that, in the event a consumable which is commonplace in a nation and that consumable has a similar alternative which is greater in nutritional value, that consumable must be presented as a possible substitute during the education mentioned in the previous clause;
- Demands that member nations educate all residents, regardless of whether or not they are in school, on the long term effects of poor nutritional habits, by funding informational campaigns encouraging them to use healthier consumables and to replace consumables low in nutritional value with consumables high in nutritional value.
- Further requires that schools of any level must provide consumables of equal nutritional value to the amount of time students are required to be within school. Schools may charge a reasonable and affordable monetary fee for these consumables. In the event a student’s parents income is among the poorest ten percent in that nation, the meal must be provided at no cost. In nations lacking a monetary system or nations where income-inequality is essentially nonexistent, this clause does not apply;
- Schools, when required to provide meals, must give adequate time for students to consume them;
- Meals provided by schools must be high in nutritional value;
- Mandates that schools provide recreational activities related to physical fitness to students, either during or after school. Schools may charge a reasonable and affordable monetary fee for these recreational activities. In the event a student’s parents income is among the poorest ten percent in that nation, the meal must be provided at no cost. In nations lacking a monetary system or nations where income inequality is essentially nonexistent, this clause does not apply;
- Further mandates that, when a consumable item is sold, it is labelled with all nutritional information pertinent to the species it is being sold to, and in member nations with multiple species, this nutritional information must be pertinent to each species individually;
- These labels must not be purposely obstructed, concealed, or positioned in such a way as to make the labels unintelligible or imperceptible to intended users;
- Encourages member nations to take further action to encourage healthy nutrition habits;
