Isn't that a sad statement when we (again) feel the need to steal another bit of fun from children?
Parents appear to have lost their minds in some matters. They had Hamburgers, cheeseburgers and all sorts of junk food when they went to school. Now it is too dangerous for their kids?
We have banned cruising, a past time they enjoyed. We put silly helmets on them when they ride bikes. Then complain when they would rather watch tv.
Sad when adults can't think.
Many users and experts around the globe have different opinions on this matter.
Soda drinks are very unhealthy and if you ban soda drinks, it helps stop the growing problem of obesity in many countries. Statistically, about a third of American children are overweight or obese so something needs to be done to tackle this growing problem. If schools encourage healthier diets, it decreases the chances of developing certain cancers, chronic diseases (such as Diabetes), Heart disease, Asthma and high blood pressure.
On the other hand, it is not the governments/schools job to decide what you eat or drink. Instead of banning these products, schools should encourage healthier lifestyles and schedule more time doing more physical activity during school hours. Also, schools could educate children earlier on into the purposes of healthier, more active lifestyles. Also instead of banning these drinks, schools could replace vending machines with more healthy snacks (eg. cereal bars and fruit drinks).
N.O. spells NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! lolage
yes
YES!! Junk food is terrible! CHILDREN are DYING!
Junk food should be banned from school because it is very unhealthy. It is also because there is a risk of getting Diabetes
Aproximately 2,302 schools in sydney alone.
There are different opinions about this. I wouldn't say they should be banned, but the school itself should not make junk food and carbonated beverages available to students, such as in vending machines. Fast foods from McDonald's and other fast food restaurants should not be served at school, either.
schools should allow junk food snacks because it is up to them what they want to eat and if they want to eat them they might know what the consequences are.
McDonalds should be not be banned, but make better food choices. Parents should not let their children eat often at fast food dining establishments.
yes. because it is bad for the health of the kids
No they shouldn't they should feed them healthy meals.
Sometimes people can get way too much food, and some schools have a no junk-food (candy) rule
Or fat kids can just stop watching tv
Junk food.
Not quite banned they should just be reduced...
