Junk food and Non-nutritional food should be banned from public.

- It makes the kids obese

- Mentally no energy, depress them

- It gives negative energy that leads to hopelessness at very young age, loss of enthusiasm, getting old at early age.

Of course it should be banned!

Students still have the CHOICE of bringing junk food from home if they want it so badly. But the school needs to set a good example by only offering foods that students ought to be eating.

Furthermore, 3rd party vendors ought to be banned (Pizza Hut, chick-fil-a, etc.).

Why should schools be responsible for providing crap?

they should ban junk food but not all of it. students will feel they are being forced into eating nutritional food. they could allow burgers and sandwiches for a small meal at school.

Side: A bit of both

unhealthy food items don't cause much harm if eaten once in a while. but they do cause harm even when done that.

you are saying that there should be unhealthy food items sometimes

of course there can be unhealthy food items sometimes but that doesn't mean all the time. so I'm not totally agreeing with you.

You can keep up your blood sugar with fruit juice just as easily as a slushy. A slushy will actually cause a rise in blood sugar followed by a dramatic fall later in the day.

And sure, kids can have a choice. On their own time. Schools don't need to provide the bad food choices. If you want soda and chips, pack your lunch!

I think they shouldn't really ban junk food in schools. I am really skinny and I eat a lot of junk food and I don't get fat or gain weight. Well I do gain weight but its not that much. Most people the reason why they gain weight is because they over eat and that is wrong. You are suppose to eat until you are full. It is bad for you if you over eat it can damage your stomach and your digestive system.
