I don't think that junk food should be banned because um we need something to eat that isn't always all good for the body and stuff.

Umm yes
my school introduced this new menu consisting of lk everything vegetarian ( lol veggie pies and lk coke zero)
HELLO wake up!!! If kid can't buy it at school they are just going to wag class and buy it from lk the milk bar or something. This isn't stopping the problem just creating new ones.
Don't people know that this problem can be stopped with proper education and exercise programs in school
by making PE fun and proper eating programs for students from the ages of 6 and 7 banning junk food wouldn't be necessary simply kids wouldn't buy it!!!!!!!

Not like McDonald's everyday, but pizza or chik-fil-a once a week.

Students are eating enough junk food outside the schools. If the schools do not encourage healthy eating habits, nothing will. Schools should sell other healthier snacks instead.

Junk food should not be allowed in school. As we all know that junk food is not at all good for health and most of the time doctors prescribe that junk food should be avoided, thus in schools junk food must be avoided. It may happen that due to having junk food a student may fall sick or may suffer from any problem in school time. Besides this it is a very relevant fact that most of the time young people prefer having junk food more than any other type of food. It may happen that they start neglecting the normal Tiffin that their parents have given them, which may be good for health or even have high nutritional value. If schools allow junk food then students will tend to buy and have junk food more than the any other healthy food which may be bad for health.

Junk food should not be allowed in schools. Children eat enough junk on their own without needing it in school too. Plus, if they had junk food in schools, kids would be more hyper and not interested in learning as much. I personally think that junk food should be banned all together. It does nothing for people and everyone knows it. Junk food clogs your arteries and makes people fat. Nothing like that should be sold. If it was no longer sold, think of how much weight people would lose. They would have to eat more fruits and vegetables. Schools need to keep their healthy menus so that at least there children can get healthy food, brain food.

Although I agree that junk food is OK once in a while, I disagree with the fact of junk food vending machines. Kids can get... Uh... Cocky and eat too much, fattening them up.

Junk food should not be allowed anywhere in society.

 If junk food goes what is next? Let's start up prohibition too, people have the innate feature of making their own decisions. When you take away a persons choice you are taking away their humanity.

No. In my opinion a persons health is their No. 1 priority, and very often the parents' of a child are irresponsible when it comes to this matter. So, the state should do all it can to ensure that the highest quality, healthy food (and only healthy food) is available for all children in Schools.

Whether the children will eat it or not is another matter. Though they can but try.

Lol Meliswa that's our school and different but my opinion is junk food shouldn't be allowed in school our world is obese and unhealthy enough. What we eat in school can effect us later in life with things like heart disease. The less junk food this world gets the better

Along with academics, why not teach and encourage healthy eating habits? Our schools should not be poisoned with junk food.
