"We Israelis are among the most noticeably awful in sugar utilization, and fourth or fifth in youngster heftiness rates [in the world]," Litzman said at a gathering on kids' wellbeing in Tel Aviv. "This must be ceased, we need to quit giving our kids this trash. It is hindering to the strength of our adolescents. I will ensure this is no longer circulated in schools."
