A policy to control strictly the food available in stores in the area has already been endorsed by ten Pitjantjatjara communities, and Stephie Rainow, a Nganampa health officer, explained that this policy could soon become a by-law.

The move has been suggested because of concern over the link between poor nutrition and chronic illness.
