"I think they would rather have sub sandwiches or pizza every day, so it's very hard to encourage them to eat it," says Julia Snodgrass, head cook at Winfield High School. "It's not hard at school because the bread is wheat, and there's only water to drink, but once you get home it's hard not to eat the sweet food," says Tiffany Perdue, a senior at Winfield High School.

As this session of the legislature comes to an end, there appears to be no nutrition bills to come out of the session. "I feel we have not stepped up to the plate the way we should, and I think it's time for the legislature to step up to the plate," says Sen. Ron Stollings, D-Boone County.

No matter how many bills the legislature passes that deal with nutrition, eating right can be a tough battle, especially for teenagers.

"Let's get pizza. Let's get ice cream. It's hard. You have to balance. You have to say if I get ice cream I'm not going to get cake when I get home. I'm not going to eat Doritos when I get home. It's just that balancing process," says Mickensie Neely, a junior at Winfield High School.

"How much can we legislate, and how much is good common sense," said Stollings.

He says the key is early intervention, showing how good nutrition will pay off later in life.
