should unhealthy foods be banned in schools

Hello everyone! Welcome back! So this debate doesn't have a traditional style, as such, I will just cleanly refute all of my opponents arguments. Let us begin! (I apologize for the sloppy structure of this case/rebuttal but I am quite busy)First, I'd like to remind everyone of the resolution and give a quick topical analysis: 1) The resolution bases itself in a common School, therefore we are looking at children, between the ages of 5 and 18 (Grades K-12) As stated in the first round of acceptance. 2) As no definitions were given by my opponent, mine will stand.(No semantics/arguments about the definition of unhealthy foods)Pro's case: (Against Con's points)1- Obesity and Freedom of ChoiceA child has not fully matured, therefore we can assume that the lack of restraint will be on high while the cognitive abilities of a child will be on the low point. Meaning any child, even a high school teenager, will easily give into "junk" foods without a second thought, and may continue a cycle of unhealthy eating until they become a full fledged adult, and soon suffer the consequences. By stopping the unhealthy eating habits at the source, Students will not only become healthier, but smarter as well. In fact, many schools nationwide have already begun banning unhealhy foods in schools, and as such have found great success in both the performance of their students academically, and physically, as all students' nutrion habits change, pulling away from the common bag of potato chips to instead a healthy bag of carrots. Over 5 years have passed since schools in California and New York had begun banning unhealthy foods. The results are quite astounding, Students are consuming less processed food, and consuming less than 100-200 calories every day. While that may not seem like alot, according to a New York Times study, researchers have proven there is a signficant weight gap between the average child, and children who cut down their caloric intake by 100-200 calories. [1] 2- Government interactionMy opponent doesn't seem to understand that it is not the United States Federal Government that imposes bans of unhealthy foods in schools, rather it is up to the State's government, and is held within the boundaries of the State's jurisdiction. The Federal Government cannot legally oppose a state's right without it being against a federal law or a legal document. Nowhere in the constitution does it state anything about a man having the freedom to eat what he wants, and we are dealing with minors here, not adult. Minors need guidance, and in no way is imposing a ban on unhealthy foods at school against anything that America stands for. It is legal to impose such a ban, and it is not depriving students of their rights, at school they are under a new set of laws, it is a new court of order by which they must follow. The perfect example of a school's laws would be the use of vulgar language and outbursts of protest. While the Bill of Rights allows such speech under the First Amendment, A school has the authority to punish those who use language, because as stated before, these are minors, not adults. They are new to the world, learning as they go, with no insight except what they are taught. Therefore, saying that we are taking away freedom by not allowing Minors to eat in schools is a Drastic Overstatement, if anything we are encouraging freedom, pulling kids away from unhealthy foods and allowing them to see the options they are given. A quick final point to go along with this case as well, we are not banning unhealthy foods everywhere, just in schools. Whos to say a child does not go home and eat junk food? Balance is key to a healthy diet, as is restraint.In conclusion, we can clearly see there are A) No harms to banning unhealthy foods in schools, B) Only benefits to such bans as proven through many different schools, C) No deprivation of rights in any way, and D) Encouraging healthier eating habits that will help children better their future and possibly end obesity.Sources:[1] http://well.blogs.nytimes.com...
