Explain Why Candy And Soda Should Be Banned From Schools

In the article Should Candy and Soda be Banned from Schools the writer of this article shows the both sides of whether candy and soda should be banned from schools or not.I agree with the writer that candy and soda should be banned from schools because it is our first step in stopping obesity in our nation. The reason in why I agree with the writer is because that our generation is known to be overweight or even obese, but if we can switch out the unhealthy food and bring in healthier food we can stop obesity before it even happens.

Everyone loves sugar filled snacks, especially children. A kid’s day can be made so much better just by handing them their favorite candy bar. This is something students looked forward to during their school day. Sadly, this was made to change. Schools started banning snacks, and drinks based on their unhealthy effect they have on individuals. According to Beverly Ballaro and Ann Griswold in "Junk Food in Schools: An Overview,” this change occurred when Michelle Obama launched her project for healthy eating in 2010. Let’s Move! Was her way to fix child obesity in America. This directed schools to feed children healthier options, and twice as many vegetables or fruit. This was not a necessity for public schools across the United States. Students should not be limited to what they eat in school. As long as they are being fed their basic lunch, it should not be important what they decide to snack on.

No, because many kids at school want to enjoy a soda and candy for their own reasons. In, schools they say that many of these foods that they provide for the students is very unhealthy and can lead to obesity to students, but what will banning all soda’s and candy do, it surely won’t stop obesity throughout the school. This shows that banning soda and candy should not be banned. The problem is not the soda or the candy the problem is the unlimited supplies of the products are available at school seven days a week and 9 hours a day. The obesity is coming from the soda and candy but the reason is because the product is available. The other problem is if we were to take all the soda’s and candy away from school how will the students be able to realize that not only are they making bad choices but, will crave for more of the soda or candy and find ways to drink or chew more.

Sugary drinks are a daily routine in many people’s lives. Beverages such as soft drinks, fruit-flavored drinks, and coffee have been convenient in the daily lives of students. However, the government does not view these drinks as healthy because of the sugar that is contained inside. The argument for banning sugary drinks in schools is not fair for students to be able to consume drinks that contain sugar.

Giving student access to eat and drink soda in campus will not only hurt the way students need to eat but it will also hurt our environment.Many students love to eat candy and drink soda but if we take action by banning candy and soda the environment would not look messy by the rappers.Take action now because later when students get comfortable with bringing candy and soda, there are going to be students selling the items to other students.Letting the students eat candy and soda is practically saying that the school and administration don’t care about your weight.It's like saying if the government doesn't care about your weight limits.Eating things like that are

I think they shouldn't ban Candy and Soda from schools. When someone takes something from you, you want it more then usual you need to have it back. The government shouldn't ban these types of foods in school because we need some energy in us, we learn for like seven hours straight we need sugar. Students don't just wake up and have energy, they need sugar or whatever they can get to keep them educated. If you ban candy and soda kids will just hide them in their backpack and be low key about them. Some could even sell candy, chips, and soda and have the hook up. Phones are banned from some schools yet kids still bring them and use them teachers don't notice because they keep it low key.

Would it help students eat healthier? Should it be a student’s choice if they want to eat healthy or not? When junk food is banned, do schools lose out? With the increase of childhood obesity, some schools have completely banned the sale of junk food in vending machines and the cafeteria, because they believe it will encourage students to eat healthier. Although students shouldn’t eat junk food, schools should allow for it to be sold, because it increases profits for the school, gives students a choice in what they eat, and allows schools to teach about healthy nutrition and responsibility when it comes to eating.

“Some schools are thinking of banning snacks from lunch” I hope that my school doesn't ban snacks for these reasons. Some reasons are that kids don't want to have a boring lunch and also its the kids choice to pick the healthier choice. One reason someone might disagree with me would be depending on what their main meal it they may not balance out with what they are eating.

Schools must educate children from a young age to make the right choices in healthy foods and lifestyles. If children are allowed to develop bad habits from an early age by consuming sugary drinks and sweets we are contributing to the obesity of children which then will continue into their adulthood.

The majority of high schools and middle schools have vending machines that serve soda. They also offer soda with school lunches. Since students see soda , they don't see the problem with drinking it every day at lunch. Since drinking soda daily has been already a problem in the world, we're adding to it by offering soda at school. Therefore, I think we should offer only nutritious drinks such as white milk, water, and natural fruit juice.

To begin, Robin’s experiment wasn’t the only influence on this topic of banning sugary beverages. My honest opinion is that I strongly believe that sugary drinks shouldn’t be sold at our schools, because sugary drinks conflicts with our behaviour, concentration, and overall general health
