Childhood obesity is becoming a problem thoughout the developed world . Because of this , some people think that adverts for fast food , sweets and sugary snacks should not be allowed in schools and colleges . To what extent do you agree or disagree with this ?

Some people state that

sweets

and sugary snacks should be banned in

schools

and colleges, because of the increased level of childhood obesity worldwide. As far as I am concerned, due to today's

Additionally

, regarding

's health,

schools

should do their best in order to point out the importance of having a balanced

lifestyle

.

For instance

, colleges can publish sports

adverts

in order to trigger pupils' interest in physical exercise.

Besides

,

schools

can introduce healthy treats to support

.

Firstly

,

schools

have to change students' perception of high cholesterol

food

by replacing the fast-

food

adverts

with healthy ones. That's how they will manage to encourage

children

to do more physical exercise and eat low-fat

food

.

Besides

, teachers have to make sure that pupils are aware of the damage that may be caused by

sweets

and fast

food

in their bodies and try to persuade them to change their

lifestyle

.

Additionally

, physical exercise is vital for students' development, because it keeps them fit.

with positive ones is not enough to persuade students to give up on their bad eating habits. Clearly, colleges can introduce fruits as treats to offer pupils a healthy alternative to sugary snacks.

Moreover

,

schools

can organise courses whose aim is to present to

children

the upsides of having a balanced alimentation, based on sport and

food

rich in vitamins.

For instance

, a study shows that

children

's attitude about fast

food

and

sweets

changed the moment they realised the amount of benefits fruits and vegetables have and started to give up on fast

food

. In summary,

schools

should normalise good eating habits by not publishing unhealthy

adverts

.

This

way they will change

children

's attitudes about the bad effects that fast and sugary

food

has.
