Whether or not to ban junk food in schools is a controversial issue, with arguments on both sides. Some argue that such a ban would improve the health and well-being of students, while others argue that it would be difficult to enforce and would not address underlying issues such as poverty and lack of access to healthy food. Ultimately, the decision on whether to ban junk food in schools would likely be made at the local or state level and would depend on the specific circumstances and opinions of those involved.
Absolutely. These junk foods must not be sold in schools and within a few meters outside school campus. When I was a kid we don't have junk foods in school. We eat boiled bananas or hotcake.I was already 13 year old when I tasted chips.
Rather than banning junk food in school I think the parents have to understand that what their children eat is essential to their health even if junk food is banned in schools the children will still have access to it
Yes, I believe that it should be banned because it is so unhealthy.
But the reality is that it cannot be banned because the poor vendors earn a lot of money from the institutions and if they are not allowed to sell It near the vicinity of schools or colleges, they won't be able to earn.
I am someone who feels that junk food should be available but monitored in schools. I remember when my kids first started high school, they were able to get things like pizza boxes which were a slice of pizza with a drink and a pudding and they were also able to get things like bacon bagels as well. This was stopped because they said it was too unhealthy but at the same time, the kids had that option every day, it wasn't as a treat say on a Friday you could have a pizza box on a Monday you could have a bacon bagel. I feel as long as it is monitored it should be fine in moderation as well as offering healthy options.
