Why Some Schools Are Ditching Fairy Bread

NEW FAIRY BREAD GUIDELINES
The SA Government has announced some changes to its Right Bite food and drink standards for schools. They are designed to help kids stay healthy, by sorting canteen and after school care foods into Green, Amber, and Red categories, based on how healthy they are - the latest food to find itself in the red zone is fairy bread. It's not just happening in SA. Over in Western Australia, ham and cheese sandwiches are facing the same fate for having processed meat in them. Some people aren't happy about the decisions, and say that sweet treats like fairy bread are part of a healthy diet when eaten in moderation. But the government says the guidelines are just that - guidelines. And schools can still choose to serve foods like fairy bread if they want, and parents can still pop it in a lunchbox. So, what do you reckon?

WORLD RADIO DAY
Let's take a look back at the history of radio. First there was Scottish scientist James Clerk Maxwell. Who, in the 1860s, theorised the existence of something called electromagnetic waves. They're waves of energy that travel through space and they include the light we can see, as well as a whole spectrum of invisible waves including radio waves. And then in the 1890s, Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi worked out a way to use radio waves as a way to communicate and in 1901 he amazed the world by sending a radio signal across the Atlantic Ocean. At first radio was mostly used for things like community. But the First World War showed how useful they could be on the ground. In the 1920s radios in the household became all the rage thanks to broadcast radio. In the 1950s radios became smaller, more affordable and portable. But then along came television. While TV did eventually take over from radio as the most popular source for news and entertainment, radio didn't go away. For starters, radio signals are the most reliable way to send messages during emergencies. And because radio is cheaper and easier to produce than television, many communities still rely on it and many people love listening to it.
