Each year, junk food from schools causes obesity, risk of heart disease in later life, loss of energy, blood clots, heart failure, disease, loss of fitness and, in severe cases, death. First, junk food is like poison and builds up in your system. Two, it makes kids rely on it, like a drug. And three: it makes children increasingly obese. Looking from left to right, year after year I notice something different. Children are becoming increasingly obese and sickly due to junk food. Kiosks, unhealthy diets, vending machines and even school food are leading children to disaster. “Every time someone spends a dollar on a snack, they waste a dollar of their healthcare bill,” I once read on Wikipedia. I see children's education decline and their appetites go out of control. Instead of bringing a Twinkie, bring a low-fat cookie instead. Slowly break away from this horrible habit and ban junk food from schools. These are the reasons to ban junk food from schools. Junk food in schools across the United States is causing more and more children to become obese. Over the last 20 years, obesity levels have increased and so have “obesogenic” food environments. Because the increase in food has been so great that there is enough junk food to serve to children for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. All these facts mean that the portions and type of junk food can really create obesity problems in the United States. Many people disagree with the opinion given on this topic saying that “it's not a problem”, or “we don't need to change”. But all statistics show that the next generation of our country will be heavier than this one at this time. All of this can be reduced by simply cutting back on junk food. I can conclude that junk food is a... paper medium... because it is a habit that they eat it because they like it. Many people think that if junk food is so harmful, why does it make people happy? One reason. Most junk food will never go bad, so you can always eat it. But think about what's going on inside you. If it never turns off then what does it do? All these explanations and studies have proven that junk food is creating unhealthy eating habits and addictions. This is why I want to ban junk food from schools. Junk food is destroying and killing children. Every day children eat junk food in their schools, which makes them addicted to it. All of this may lead to the conclusion that junk food is bad for everyone and should be banned from schools. Furthermore, since junk food is allowed in schools, it almost creates a drug around them causing them to become more and more obese. This is why junk food should be banned from schools.
