But just how effective would this really be? Once you instruct a child not to do something, that is exactly what he/she does when you are not watching. Therefore, why not instead educate the children? Do we not have teachers who can do this? I am yet to hear our erstwhile Ministry of Education on this.

And then, when all is said and done, what would we have achieved? Really, have we banned the sale of regular cakes, sugar cakes, nut cakes, rice cakes, tamarind balls, ice cream, lollies, sno-cones (complete with condensed milk), candies etc? If not, we are back to square one.
