Unhealthy food, banning from schools and food outlets

[glen_mark_ledesma]

Obesity is the condition of being very overweight, to the point where your health suffers. Doctors usually say that someone with a body mass index above 30 is obese. There is an increasing problem with obesity in the developed world, and this often starts in childhood. Some people have argued that unhealthy school meals and vending machines are partly to blame and that they should be banned. In the UK the TV chef Jamie Oliver ran a high profile campaign to rid schools of unhealthy (junk) food, and the British government has started to take action as well. Local and national groups are also lobbying for change in America and a number of other countries. However, many people argue that schools are the wrong places to target and that it does not solve the problem.

We can also see the huge varieties of foods available in every food outlets, should we also ban these unhealthy foods?

I guess that kind of action and rules must be taken because those junk food can make student's quality go down and the school canteen is making profit by selling of this kind of junk foods. Those junk food have too much of sugar and salt level in its contain which can make the student appetite goes wrong.

Junk food in vending machine can last a lot, fruit should be changed almost everyday... It's more pratical and quite cheap.
Health is more important than money, but some people still don't understand this. I'd ban them, of course, if I had the power to do it.
