Nowadays, many schools find it profitable to sell unhealthy food and sugary drinks to students during lunch breaks. Is this a positive or negative development?
It is considered by most of the schools these days to market unhealthy and high sugar drinks to children in order to gain profit. In my opinion, there are more repercussions with
this
strategy as children might suffer from health problems by consuming junk food
. However
, I also
think that there are a few beneficial points also
.
First
of all, schools need to monitor their children's eating habits in addition
to their academic studies. By selling junk food
and high-calorie drink, children get used to an unhealthy lifestyle. These types of diets contain a lesser amount of nutrition, which is essential for the mental and physical development
of children. As a result
, children suffer from chronic diseases, such
as diabetes, obesity at a very young age. In addition
to this
, by having junk food
stalls on school premises, children will not be able to learn the difference between good and bad things. Therefore
, schools should take proactive action to prevent such
shops and stalls, which can deter children's overall development
.
Nevertheless
, there are a few benefits also
, which can be considered as a positive sign of development
. Setting up shops
in school will help children to learn Suggestion

Moreover
, schools will get funds from food
companies, which can be used in the development

schools
for example
, these days; many top beverage companies are collaborating with schools to increase their sales. This
is beneficial to both parties. Therefore
, schools should strictly encourage only those shops, which serve only healthy food
and drinks.
To conclude, While many schools opine that it is profitable to them, there are still more detrimental effects associated with it. Schools should only encourage healthy and nutritious food
on their campus; in this
way, it will be a positive development
for both schools and children.Submitted by sp on
