In some countries an increasing number of children are overweigh as a result of eating too much fast food. It is necessary for governments to ban selling this kind of food in schools. To what extend do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Child obesity is becoming a significant problem in industrialized countries.
For example
, the United States that are the inventors of fast
food
, are for sure one of the countries most affected by
this
matter. Some people think that, as fast
food
has a lot of responsibility, the governments should not permit schools to sell
this
kind of unhealthy cuisine. The debate on
this
argument is divided between those who do not consider important what they eat and those who affirm that fast
food
produces too many calories and
therefore
high-fat meals should be banned. Some of the arguments on both sides convince me. Generally, fast
food
companies, as we can deduce from the name, tend to cook as fast as possible, trying often to cut all types of cost to increase income.
For example
, many fast foods use the same oil to fry french-fries for the whole day and add a lot of salt to make them tastier.
As a result
, if we eat
this
kind of cuisine every day we certainly will not have a regular amount of glucose and probably a high percentage of fat in our body.
Although
it is true that the majority of suppliers of fast
food
produce unhealthy meals they
also
make delicious meals.
Moreover
, if you have the right balance during your eating routine of the week, you will not have any problems with your health. Exercise is
also
important to compensate for a fast-
food
meal, obviously.
Furthermore
, some people hold the opinion
that is
more important to educate children about the importance of eating healthy foodstuff rather than prohibit them from fast foods. For these reasons,
this
side of the debate believes that fast
food
should not be banned from schools. To summarize, I believe that fast
food
is definitely an unhealthy way to eat but I
also
like having a fat lunch at McDonald’s sometimes. People should be able to balance the quantity of harmful
food
with at least the same amount of healthful one.
