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? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
There is a tendency, nowadays, that due to
food
accessibility in developed countries, students
have more eating options in schools. Thus
, many places serve unhealthy food
for their students
during lunch breaks. I think this
is absolutely unacceptable and should be banned. That is
, in the forthcoming paragraphs, I will elaborate on the main negative problems related to the issue.
To begin
with, due to a lack of experience, youngsters are not aware enough, hence
, they usually do not worry about the consequences related to bad eating patterns. However
, if students
did not stop eating unhealthy food
during lunch breaks they would face serious health challenges in the future. That's why it is vitally important to regulate and control the quality of serving food
as well as not allow sugary drinks and fast food
to be sold in schools. For example
, it is known that American students
tend to have more problems with weight compared to Europeans; this
happens because of easier access to fast food
in schools and other places.
In addition
, by selling unhealthy food
and sugary drinks in educational places people make it normal to encourage pupils to eat such
food
. Consequently
, students
would not even know that unhealthy food
is literally bad for them. Hence
, they are at risk to take it as a routine and eat this
food
every day. For instance
, I used to eat junk food
at my university just because it was cheaper than normal. As a result
of this
, I got used to eating fast food
and could not even think about other options.
In conclusion, I would say that serving junk food
in school has undoubtedly negative developments. Real health problems are possible consequences of such
unhealthy food
, whereas taking it as an eating routine would only make the situation worse.Submitted by bale.dunkel
