Should Vending Machines Be Allowed In School

Schools do a “good” job in promoting certain healthy foods in their cafeterias. Yes, students do not enjoy eating them but it is for their good. The fact that schools sell the “baked” chips is a good and a bad idea. It is a good idea because they are healthier than the regular chips sold in grocery stores and smaller than regular sizes. The bad part comes to the fact that they are still being sold and most students prefer to purchase them instead of fruits. In my case, I know I would prefer to eat those chips instead of the fruits. Vending machines are rarely seen in schools but the schools that do have them do not have healthy items inside. Sodas and junk snacks are what are mostly seen in those vending machines along with others. Students

What is bright, colorful, controversial, and found in many school hallways? The answer is vending machines. Vending machines in schools have always been a debated topic. While some feel vending machines should not be placed in schools, others feel the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Those in favor of vending machines claim they generate revenue for schools. Those opposed argue vending machines are full of unhealthy snacks, contributing to our youth’s health problems.

As I said, vending machines should be allowed at school. First it makes the school money. Vending machines should be allowed at school because they will make the school money so they can pay for field trips. The machines also should be allowed at school because the money they make will pay for any upgrades in supplies and even computers or iPads. The last reason is because the money could also provide

First of all, schools should have vending machines. If a child did not bring a snack he or she can buy one. Kids might not get as hungry in class. With the money used to buy the snacks the school could raise funds. For these reasons schools should have vending machines.

I believe that students should have access to vending and soda machines. This is because, they would have more freedom, would have more options, and the students would be happy and kind to others. This is why students should be able to have soda and vending machines.

We should have vending and soda machines in the hall because some kids are poor and either don't get anything at home to eat or just get hungry fast because they got little to eat. Even if you are not pore you might have not had time to grab something to eat. And if you either don't get anything or you don't have anything and you don't like the cafeteria food you have nothing to eat for most of the day.

The school's lunch food, while distastful, are simply not worth the money. Especially when there is an option to spend the money on a richer in flavor and healthier choice. To put it another way, the value of the food does not compare to the price required. [Adding Metacommentary]. Likewise, the vending machines were funded money to replace the foods with healthier choices. Which did not improve students' health but decreased the students' contribution. "A greater food selection does have a positive effect upon participation" (Marples and Spillman). In Marples and Spillman's study, 43% of the students rated the school lunches as poor and only 5% referred to the lunches as good. This percentage went up significantly when asked if they would participate in school lunches if quality changed. Nearly two-thirds of the students stated that if the lunches were to become tastier they would eat it more often. Therefore, the quality of foods has a significant input when it comes to student

The importance of a healthy breakfast cannot be underestimated. A child who is undernourished in the morning will not be functional for her class until lunch. Also, schools can act as supporters of positive, healthy behaviors by offering nutritious breakfasts such as fruit and yogurt, versus the fast food breakfasts some adolescents might grab, if they get breakfast at all. Many school districts are beginning earlier and earlier in the day, and students are simply not hungry enough or do not get up early enough in the morning for breakfast, leaving them starving by 10am. Being able to grab breakfast in study hall can thus prevent many potential academic and nutritional problems.

Vending machines should be allowed in every school. Most students do not eat school lunch; others cannot leave school campus to go get lunch. And many do not bring lunch from home. Throughout school I am not really hungry, but a snack here and there is good. Not all vending machines have to have unhealthy snacks in them. Another good reason to have vending machines in school is to help school profit. With the money a school makes in a vending machine, they could buy new school supplies. So much money can be made off vending machines. A big issue with having vending machines is that the high calorie snacks cause obesity. That is not true because not all snacks are unhealthy. Having vending machines give students the right to make the decision

If the students get a nutritious meal then the students could function right and have a better state of mind throughout the whole day. Charles

High-sugar foods should be sold in high school bending machines. People come in all shapes and sizes. A decision based on unhealthy kids is not a fair punishment for everyone. It’s the people money, if they want snacks they shouldn’t be forced to buy fat free foods. Not everyone wants to lose weight. High-sugar foods should be sold in high school bending machines because a decision based just on unhealthy kids is unfair, it’s the kid’s money they should be able to buy what they want, and not everyone wants to lose weight.

Have you ever been behind or beside someone who is constantly spinning a fidget spinner while you are trying to have a conversation with someone else? It is harder to concentrate on the person talking to you when out of your peripheral vision you see something constantly spinning. You lose all total focus you have and just drown out the person trying to have a conversation with you. Think about how this would affect kids learning lessons in school and completing homework. Would they be able to concentrate on the teacher and the assignment in front of them? I believe that fidget spinners should not be allowed in schools because they can be distracting, kids can get hurt from them, and the fidget spinners are distracting to other students in the classroom.

Read the last two pages of the student research paper on junk food and student achievement, and focus on errors in MLA Style. If you are not

Dear Principal, sometimes school can be tiring and children just need something to refill their energy, even though they do have a lunchbreak, but seeing them doesn’t look like lunch is enough to keep them focused through the day. So, for the one rule that should be changed in schools should be (no snacks). If teachers can take snacks breaks in school between classes then why can't school children have snacks? The Center of Science in the Public Interest reports that snacks are beneficial for children, promoting good nutrition, encouraging healthy habits, and for the most part preventing any diseases. If snacks are used in a good need, it will help children focus in class and it may lead to good grades in school. They need to be able to

I think we should have vending machines at school for three reasons. If we have vending machines at school, schools could afford more supplies. Or there could be better lunches. As a student, some school lunches could be good and some could not. If the school uses the money from the vending machines they could get better lunches. Better lunches could have more students buy what the school has to offer.
