Wellington, Sept 15 NZPA - Former Olympic and long-distance rower Rob Hamill says schools should sell healthy food to help kids achieve, rather than allow products that lead to obesity.

Wellington, Aug 11 NZPA - Encouraging kids' participation in sport while allowing them to eat junk food will not work, opponents to the Government's $82 million Kiwisport initiative say. The Government announced today it would spend $82m over four years getting kids to play sport.

Dear Metiria,

No doubt you would have my congratulatory message on your Facebook wall this past weekend. Again, well done and you are the first person from my own generation (the 70's generation) to lead a parliamentary political party in this country.

Wellington, Feb 5 NZPA - An attempted ban on selling unhealthy food in schools has been lifted by the Government.
