Junk food should not be sold in schools, particularly elementary schools. I'm not opposed to children eating some junk food, but when they are handed a plate full of it everyday at lunch, they won't be able to get out of the rut of choosing junk food over nutritious food. I think a better solution would be to offer treats as part of the school lunch on occasion so that children will learn that junk food can be part of a balanced diet, but should not be the main part of a diet. Side: No
