Should Junk Food be Banned in School?


I think that junk food should be banned in schools.

It is really unhealthy to take junk food to school because it can drain your energy and lead you to obesity. Also, not  having junk food at school can improve your health and concentration.

Obesity is a growing disease that affects young people as well as old. I think letting kids have junk food in school is actually supporting the cause of obesity. If there is no junk food in schools now, the kids won’t be overweight or obese when they are older.

Kids need energy when learning at school. Junk food drains energy and can make kids lazy and not excited about school and learning. I think that schools need to enforce more rules on banning junk food in schools to prevent the loss of energy.

Poverty levels are high and some parents are just giving money to kids and they buy their own lunch. The dairies offer cheap chips and drinks to kids which is what they buy most of the time. They should start to at least sell fruit or something so that the kids can have something healthy to eat.

In conclusion, junk food is bad to have in school and we should consider banning it in all schools. That's why I agree with that statement.

    Great argument. I agree with you that junk food should be banned in schools. Luckily for us, we do not sell junk food at our school tuck shop, or for school lunches. You are right, shops sell junk food to kids and kids are free to buy pretty much what ever they like. What do you think is a way to encourage kids to buy healthy food?
