JUNK FOOD

A It is a sad reality that children all around the world are putting on more and more weight, and many health experts say junk food is responsible. Unhealthy meals and snacks are freely available in many primary and secondary schools, which raises the serious question of whether schools should ban junk food in order to help children keep their weight down.

B There are some good reasons for banning junk food in schools. For instance, eating junk food has been shown to cause nervousness and bad behaviour in children. Children would behave and perform better in the classroom if junk food wasn't available in schools. Eating too much junk food can cause serious diseases and it is the job of schools to protect and care for children, so it is inappropriate that they offer children junk food.

C There are also, however, very good reasons for not banning junk food in schools. For example, telling a young child that they are not allowed to have a particular type of food simply makes that food more appealing to the child. So, a ban could in fact increase the appeal of junk food. What is more, as children will still be able to get junk food outside of school, banning it in schools will do little good, as this action will not change children's general eating habits.

D All in all, the strong arguments on both sides of the debate make it clear that it is difficult to decide if banning junk food in schools is a good idea. It seems unlikely, however, that 'hiding' foods from children will do much good. What seems more likely to work is educating children about healthy eating habits. Parents have the greatest influence over a child's eating habits, thus it is perhaps in the home and not only at schools, where food education must take place.
