Movies were meant to sell you a good time, not snacks. Nowadays, movie theaters don’t allow you to bring snacks or goodies from home into theaters. Instead, they have their own stand where you can buy sweets and snacks, right inside. This has lead to people sneaking food into the theaters, whether it's a burrito you bought, or a tuna sandwich you made at home. Theaters have begun kicking or even banning people from their theaters if they are caught smuggling food into the movies which has cause people to complain if it was right or wrong.

It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to children each school day. The program was established under the National School Lunch Act, signed by President Harry Truman in 1946.” Many schools use the NSLP system, and by doing so families can provide for their children and still save money.

Maybe these actions are just too over the top and that is why they are perceived as annoying and unnecessary. Thinking that way maybe its little things that places like schools and supermarkets can do that will make the biggest difference in the whole situation. The placement of the food and even the name of the food is a way to trick peoples minds into getting better options. If we place the healthier food items in the front of lines and stores people tend to be more drawn to them, because they will get them first and studies have shown that depending on what you first get you will end up basing everything else that you get around those first few items that you get. So by placing health food in the front of stores or say buffets people will be more likely to choose the rest of their food based on that first grab, (Wansink,6).

They are two very different settings, but like other things, they also have similarities. No matter where you go, you’re still watching a movie. You can still eat and still spend time with your friends and family. Hopefully when watching a movie one is watching something that have been looking forward to seeing, the movie is enjoyable, whether at home or the theatre.
