Arguments for sale of junk food in schools
There are different arguments in support and against the sale of junk foods in schools. The argument against
the sale of junk food in school is based on the idea that it triggers health
problems. The Health Foundation (2005) state that most of the snack food like
cookies, chips, hamburgers, and biscuits are of low nutritional value. The foods
tend to cause obesity in childhood. A major problem in regards to obesity is the
fact that children are consuming about 130 calories in junk food sold in
schools. The 130 calories in a day for all students consuming the junk food is
equal to about 400 billion empty calories a year from the foods that are low in
nutrients and high in solid fats and added sugars. The canteens in the schools
are contributing to the problem of weight gain because of the supply of foods
high in sugars and fat. As a result of the problem associated with obesity due
to the sale of junk foods in schools Nike Air Force 1-100 Pas Cher , it is important that there is a need for a ban on junk food sale in schools.
According to Esterbrook (2005), obesity among teenagers and children doubled in the past three decades. Because of the
unhealthy foods found in schools, the obese kids are likely to become adults
with chronic health problems. Critics claim that the consequences of the
overconsumption of junk food available in schools are very clear. Many children
are overweight. The overweight children are more likely to develop Type II
diabetes, which was one known as adult-onset diabetes because it was very rare
in children.
After a law banning California elementary schools from having access to sugary drinks and junk foods snacks in school Nike Air Force 1 SP Pas Cher , researchers claimed that there was a slight reduction in the risk of students becoming overweight (Brown & Watanabe, 2015). In
examining the body mass index measurement of 2,700,800 fifth graders in over ten
years Nike Air Force 1 Shell Pas Cher , the researchers did find that students of the higher income neighborhoods saw the odds of exceeding a healthy weight fall by
1% a year (Brown & Watanabe, 2015). According to Rodier, p. 147, keeping
children from getting fat tend to lower their risk of having heart disease as
adults.
Another argument against the sale of junk food in schools is that the move from drinking milk to drinking sugary fruit drinks has negatively
impacted the oral health of children because of the increased sugar consumption.
Children tend to be getting more cavities Nike Air Force 1 N7 Pas Cher , and they have a hard time managing their oral health. The link between sugary diet and tooth decay is very clear. The increased
tendency of food snacks and sweets and also the culture of junk food in schools
are contributing to the poor oral health of children (Smith, 2011). Therefore,
the simple solution to this problem is to ensure that children do not have
access to junk food offered in school.
By banning junk foods in schools, it is possible to teach children the importance of oral health and make sure that
there is no sale of junk foods in schools. In support of the ban on junk food in
schools Air Force 1 Mid Homme Pas Cher , experts claim that the drop in the milk consumption mean that children are getting less calcium in their diet.
Calcium is very important for building strong bones. Therefore, less calcium,
which is as a result of replacing milk with juice, means that children will have
more fragile bones later in life. While considering the negative impact
associated with the sale of junk foods in school Nike Air Force 1 Mid Pas Cher , critics claim that it is important that junk foods be removed completely from schools.
The health of students is of great importance and allowing the sale of junk foods in school tends to go against
what schools teach students in the classroom. The health classes normally teach
children to eat a healthy and balanced diet, which is a diet that does not
include junk foods. The problem is that schools teach students about good
nutrient and then go ahead and sell them the junk foods. Schools have the
responsibility of teaching good eating habits, and when schools continue selling
junk foods to students, it tend to deter students from learning the right
lessons.
Opponents of selling junk foods in school claim that schools need to focus on increasing the physical activity of children and improving their
children (Rodier Air Force 1 Low Femme Pas Cher , p. 147). It is important to forbid the sale of sugary drinks and candy in schools. It is essential that schools should
put the welfare and the health of children above the financial benefit accrued
as a result of selling junk foods in the school.

While critics claim the need to ban junk food in school because of association with diabetes, proponents tend to claim that junk food does not
contribute to obesity, and there is no need for the ban. Proponents of selling
junk foods in school argue that banning the sale of junk food will not lead to a
reduction in child obesity. The main reason is that the environment at home and

unhealthy foods. Thus Air Force 1 Low Homme Pas Cher , the junk foods in school tend to
