Natalie Barr weighed in on the controversial fairy bread debate on Tuesday morning after school canteens began banning the Australian classic over the weekend.

The Sunrise presenter, 55, shares sons Lachlan, 20, and Hunter, 17, with husband Andrew Thompson, with the younger of the two finishing school last year.

Now, the television presenter has said on her Seven Breakfast show that banning sweets from school canteens only makes young people “want” them more.

Fellow journalists Suzanne Mostyn and Joe Hildebrand weighed in on the controversial issue during a Hot Topics segment with Nat.

“Scarcity creates demand and I think those little hundreds and thousands bring hundreds and thousands of joy to people,” Suzanne said.

Natalie Barr weighed in on the controversial fairy bread debate on Tuesday morning after school canteens began banning the Australian classic over the weekend.

‘And how many calories? Not hundreds and thousands. Everything in moderation. Happy kids, happy life,” she added.

Nat agreed and said: ‘You’re right. “Once you ban something, you want it.”

“Those hundreds and thousands have turned into dozens and dozens,” Joe interjected over Nat.

The Sunrise presenter, 55, told her Seven breakfast show that banning sweets simply makes young people “want” them more. Barr is pictured with journalists Suzanne Mostyn and Joe Hildebrand.

It was at that moment that the media personality doubled down and said, ‘Yes, exactly. Don’t you want it when it’s bad?

Recently, ham and cheese toasties and fairy bread are endangered in school canteens.

South Australia’s Department of Education said this week that sparks should not be provided or supplied in the state’s public schools, under its Right Bite healthy food and drink guidelines.

Nat shares sons Lachlan, 20, and Hunter, 17, with husband Andrew Thompson (right), with the younger of the two finishing school last year.

However, the South Australian government has said the guidelines are just that and do not constitute a ban.

The state government added that the guidelines do not apply to what parents carry in their children’s school lunch boxes.

Just days earlier, Western Australia banned toasted ham and cheese sandwiches in public schools in a bid to reduce consumption of processed meats, which can lead to a higher risk factor for developing bowel cancer.
