Should Junk foods be banned in school
Junk Food Should Not Be Banned At School
Government and schools authorities care much about the nutrition at school. However, they are arguing about whether school should keep selling junk food or not. So far, some people have been expressing their opinions saying that junk food should be banned at school. Others think that junk food should not be banned at school. Junk food should not be banned at school because junk foods are inexpensive, students prefer freedom of choice, and school food keeps children coming to school.
The first reason why junk food should not be banned at school is that junk foods are inexpensive. The reason why junk foods are popular is that junk foods are cheap and available at any time (Hollingsworth 31). For instance, what is called “junk food” is somewhat helping some students to survive. In fact, there are different types of students in school. Some are coming from rich families while others come from poor families. Basically, they have different financial capacities to afford school meals. For example, a student who comes to school with three dollars is likely to buy the food that will satisfy his hunger rather than the one that is supposed to be good. As matter of fact, in school students eat to fulfill themselves to obtain the strength to keep focused in class. For example, students will buy a combo of burger with a can of soda, and a little cookie. In sum, junk foods are indispensable in schools because some students cannot afford to buy healthy foods.
The second reason why junk food should not be banned in schools is that students prefer to be free when they eat their meals. Furthermore, students like to eat things they have watched on TV or seen from a friend. For example, a student who saw his friend the day before with a meal that smelled good to him; is likely to buy the same thing as his friend the next day. Basically, preventing this student from buying the food he has planning to buy will frustrate him. Advertise play a
