The public chamber has sent a letter to the government to limit the sale of soda in schools and other institutions. Another initiative that the public want to convey to the authorities to prohibit children under 14 years old to buy their own shops sweet soda, Izvestia reports.

Deputy Secretary of the Public chamber Vladislav Grib convinced that children can drink a drink liters, not thinking about their harm. He prepares the appropriate treatment of the Federal Antimonopoly service (FAS), the Ministry of industry and trade of the Russian Federation and the state Duma Committee on health protection.

This is not the only initiative of the Public chamber, which will set out the offices. It is also proposed to introduce warning labels on bottles of fizzy drinks that excessive and continuous use can lead to obesity, diabetes and other severe health consequences.

In the opinion of the member of the OP, if legislated to limit the sale in the shops of fizzy drinks to a certain age, this will significantly reduce the risk of development of childhood obesity, diabetes and many other ailments.

The activists hope that after a recent appeal to the Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, the Ministry of health will be asked to consider restrictions on the sale of carbonated beverages to children. If there is established an interagency working group on this issue, they consider it very important that it included representatives of the offices to which the OP refers.
