Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: Disagree

I don't know about all schools, but my school doesn't offer junk food, actually, no other food outside of lunch. People get junk food because they bring it themselves and sneak to eat it during class.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: agree

But children do not really have the capacity to make good choices in terms of health. It shouldn't be up to children whether or not they want to eat healthy at school.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: Agree

Indeed a kid does not have the capacity to process and think actions like an adult if theres a candy bar and a salad and they costa a same i would buy the candy bar cause i do not think of what could happen later like an adult does, and if they sneak food in its the kids decision, the school is making is contributing to decrease obesity, besides if a kid sneaks food in its an example of the kids incapability to make the right decision.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: agree

Since when do kids have rights? When did this happen?If you let a kid eat whatever they want they'll die of suger OD by second period.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: Disagree

Eating junk food is a matter of choice. Plus, junk food companies donate millions of dollars to schools so they can operate. THIS IS BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: agree

Eating junk food is a matter of choice.It is a choice that shouldn't be advocated. It is a choice just the same as weed, meth, and cocaine are. They aren't advocated though.Plus, junk food companies donate millions of dollars to schools so they can operate.So they can operate? Hardly, schools are funded by the government. Whether or not the schools have unnecessary state of the art equipment in irrelevant to operation. THIS IS BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU.So if big tobacco companies started donating to schools, we should set up cigarette vending machines ...?
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: Disagree

Companies have the right to advertise junk food, and junk food is choice. Choice of food should be personal and not made by government. What next? I am in favor of legalizing weed, methane and cocaine, and matter of fact, I am in favor of legalizing all drugs.Correct, operate was a poor choice of words, but yes, government funds public schools but there are millions of dollars donated by junk food companies Corporate donationsIf the government allowed tobacco companies donated to school, why not put vending machines in schools? If someone doesn't eat junk food, vending machines aren't going to affect them at school and the same goes for cigarettes.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: agree

Sure they have the right to advertise, who was debating that?Junk food is again a choice that shouldn't be pushed by schools. Kids are unhealthy enough as it is, they need to be in environments that are advocating eating healthy.What next?What are you talking about? Eating junk food is still the choice of the individual, hell kids can bring it to school if they want to. The problem at hand is having junk food available to purchase in the lunch line, a place where kids are five days a week. What people eat cannot be regulated, however where and how much can be.If the government allowed tobacco companies donated to school, why not put vending machines in schools?I said tobacco vending machines, where one could push F3 and get some Marlboro's. I am in favor of legalizing weed, methane and cocaine, and matter of fact, I am in favor of legalizing all drugs.That is your own mental problem if you are advocating giving meth to children.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: Disagree

"One of the more popular methods for raising money is for a school or school district to sign an exclusive beverage contract with Coca-Cola or Pepsi in return for a share in the profits. The practice tripled across the nation from 1997 to 1999 and now includes 150 districts in 29 states, including many in Michigan, according to The Detroit News." This is certainly not only advertising, but promoting soda. If this is not a motive to push soda, then what is? Otherwise, those companies will stop donating or go to a different school.Ok, we established that eating junk food is a choice. It is not the school's responsibility to promote eating healthy balanced diet, that is the responsibility of the parents. What is wrong with having tobacco vending machines in schools? Most high school students who smoke will eventually get their hands on them anyways.I am in favor of legalizing drugs to general public, not giving them to children.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: agree

Most high school students So now you are picking a specific group of students, when high school only counts as about 30% of a child's public education. This is certainly not only advertising, but promoting soda.First off I am talking about banning junk foods in school, not about how they have been promoted in the past. Them being promoted is obvious, which is why I made a debate asking whether or not it should. Meaning the problem already existed, but thanks for reiterating the problem at hand.Secondly Coke products and Pepsi products all have "zero" products. Which have no sugar or carbs, and most lack caffeine as well, I myself at the school I attend have no regular soda only died and "zero". So soda isn't necessarily the issue, its the kind of soda.It is not the school's responsibility to promote eating healthy balanced diet, that is the responsibility of the parents.It is the schools responsibilities are close to equal with the parents in raising children. After all children are at school more often than not more than the parents are with their awake child in any given day.Schools and parents both share the jobs required to get their kids on the right track to leading a good life. They both instruct how to be healthy ( P.E. for example ), both teach children life lessons, and are with the child for a good portion of the child's developing mind.So I hope we have established that it is both the school's and parent's responsibility to promote eating a healthy balanced diet.What is wrong with having tobacco vending machines in schools?Well considering the age group of our debate is public schools, which means the age group ranges from about 5-19 ... I find giving cigarettes to a 10 year old disturbing, but hey thats just me.I am in favor of legalizing drugs to general public, not giving them to children.But you are in favor of putting cigarette vending machines in public schools which includes children...
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: Disagree

Oh, please, schools are equal with the parents in raising children. Just because they are in school more than they are with the parents, it doesn't equal responsibility.Just what deadbeat parents love to hear? "YES, no responsibility. I don't have to support financially and don't have to make decisions for my children, and I can leave to the school, for which I didn't even pay in taxes."Soda zero products only pertain to certain students. So now you are picking a specific group of students. Most students drink sugar soda.Vending Machines implies the idea of choice, nobody is giving or forcing anybody to smoke cigarettes.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: agree

Just because they are in school more than they are with the parents, it doesn't equal responsibility.So do you agree that schools are equal in the development of a child's mental development?"YES, no responsibility. I don't have to support financially and don't have to make decisions for my children, and I can leave to the school, for which I didn't even pay in taxes."Oh did I say schools have total responsibility? Sorry I thought I said parents and schools share the responsibility in raising a child from pre-k to the high school diploma.Soda zero products only pertain to certain students. So now you are picking a specific group of students. Most students drink sugar soda.Oh that was me saying donations are ok in some circumstances, I thought you could read between the lines.Vending Machines implies the idea of choice, nobody is giving or forcing anybody to smoke cigarettes.No, but making them available promotes the unhealthy lifestyle that smoking is.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: Disagree

How many meals do children eat at school? Last time I checked, it was one. Two are home. Two is more than one. So, no, leading a healthy eating lifestyle is not equal.I simply don't agree that schools and parents share the responsibility to raising a child. Schools give the tools to raising children to be good citizens, but not the responsibility which is placed upon the parents. Children model their parent and their habits.There is beer and cigarettes at available at gas stations and grocery stores, yet I don't do either because my parents' felt that it was their responsibility to lead me to a health lifestyle and my choice and not the school.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: agree

How many meals do children eat at school? Last time I checked, it was one. Two are home. Two is more than one. So, no, leading a healthy eating lifestyle is not equal.Check again. Ever heard of school breakfast ... ? lead me to a health lifestyle and my choice and not the school.How do you know it wasn't your teachers influence ...?Are you saying the school you went to/are going to advocated smoking cigarettes and alcohol?
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: Disagree

I have heard of school breakfast, but it is only a option, so it is not a officially sanctioned meal provided by the school. So, it is still only one sanctioned meal, which is lunch. How do you know it wasn't your teachers influence ...?I know because my parents and I had sit down discussions, although I admit were not fun but important whereas I never sat down with a teacher.No, the school is not advocating smoking cigarettes, I am saying that I didn't need the school in making healthy lifestyle decisions.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: agree

I have heard of school breakfast, but it is only a option, so it is not a officially sanctioned meal provided by the school. So, it is still only one sanctioned meal, which is lunch.They are both options ...No, the school is not advocating smoking cigarettes, I am saying that I didn't need the school in making healthy lifestyle decisions.Well you are not a statistic as a whole. Just because your parents sat down and told you what to eat and what not to doesn't mean all children get that benefit.Children usually don't make the right choices as far as eating goes, if you make what tastes better but is worse for you they will nearly always choose unhealthy. Without parents next to them telling them what not to eat and what to eat they base their choices on what they are hungry for. If their is nothing but healthy food available their choices will begin leaning towards the healthy side.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: Disagree

Preciously, you made my point for me. Just because your parents sat down and told you what to eat and what not to doesn't mean all children get that benefit. My parents were responsible as will I as should all other parents. If people decide to have sex and decide to reproduce children, it is a individual or collective responsibility of the parents and not a public responsibility pawned onto taxpayers through public schools. Allowing public schools to take responsibility for children and teenagers is evading responsibility for fulfilling a duty by the parents. It is a cop out. The easy way out. Those parents can make cake and eat it too.So, you are suggesting that your parents are not responsible? Because it sounds as though because of the pro-public school and public responsibility of children?Why should my parents or I should have to pay more taxes for irresponsible parents who neglect their children by not instilling good healthy food decisions. Well, it is probably lack of education for food and it is probably the lack of responsibility of grandparents.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: agree

Allowing public schools to take responsibility for children and teenagers is evading responsibility for fulfilling a duty by the parents. It is a cop out. The easy way out. Those parents can make cake and eat it too.It is a cop out to let parents feed their kids junk food, then let them come to school and feed them more. Until they become another statistic of obesity in children.If a parent is already giving their child junk food they are already slacking in their responsibilities ... so they already are making their cake and eating it.Sex doesn't equal junk food in school cafeterias... not the same choice nor level of responsibility. So, you are suggesting that your parents are not responsible? Because it sounds as though because of the pro-public school and public responsibility of children?First question makes sense, second one lost me.My parents were responsible in raising me "right". Taught me that eating unhealthy food and drinking soda wasn't a good choice. That, however, did not stop me from buying Snickers out of vending machines.Well, it is probably lack of education for food and it is probably the lack of responsibility of grandparents.What?
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: Agree

As you say it it sounds wrong but the companies are not intrested in the school their intrested in the money they get. Besides theres plenty other hands feeding schools alredy the biggest one is the goverment that are part tax.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: Disagree

It should not be banned from schools. I am still in high school and see first hand that kids now a days are way too lazy. This is even beggining to show in adults based on family friends even parents. TOO MUCH TV TOO MUCH VIDEO games that is the problem get out and do something EVERY SINGLE day.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: agree

Are you sure you posted on the right side?You are in high school and you see first hand how lazy kids are, that TV and video games are a major problem. Right so far? So lets take it a step further and say that junk food is a good underlying factor. It is heavy in carbs and fats, not good for a healthy lifestyle, and essentially slows the body down.So we could factor in junk food to your TV and video game equation.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: agree

we aren't fighting over TV or video games, it is of course these too that help in obesity but it is mostly junk food that causes these problems. so u are wrong. see the topic at hand.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: Disagree

Here's how it needs to be done:1. If you are a fat ass no chocolate for you!2. If you are average you can have chocolate.3. If you are too skinny then you need to eat.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: Disagree

HELL NAW. Kids dnt want to eat shuff like broccoli carrots an verbals Wat is wrong wit u
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: agree

verbalsWhat are verbals ...?Kids never want to do what is good for them, so why give them that choice?
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: Disagree

Banning junk food from school will not stop students from eating it because they can bring them from external sources.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: agree

Because it won't stop it as a whole doesn't mean it shouldn't be done.At least schools wouldn't be advocating one of the major problems our kids of today are experiencing: obesity.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: Disagree

as a young person i love !!!JUNK FOOD!!! and if any of you are like me then you would know how much i like junk food... also I know that adults also know how much kids around 5-10 which is also the people that love !!!JUNK FOOD!!! more then me and also the people go to school and would accually go through the effort to go to the shops in the morning before school. so if all these little kids that go to school are running around in there breaks then why is every one so conserned about people having people in school being obese?ask yourself that question and think about it
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: agree

so if all these little kids that go to school are running around in there breaks then why is every one so conserned about people having people in school being obese?Ok so as a young person you like what is unhealthy for you, that makes sense. However it isn't good for you, and getting rid of it does make sense.Obesity will happen with or without kids running around, unless you are in kindergarten ( and with your grammar and spelling it is quite possible ) you will not be experiencing recess every hour. In fact the only class you might look towards for physical fitness is P.E. and even then most kids end up walking around and not actually doing the instruction given.Obesity isn't the only problem with junk food, diabetes is to. You can be the healthiest looking person in the world and end up having diabetes, you can get diabetes with or without heavy exercising. It's all in what you eat.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: Disagree

Since eating junk food is a danger on a individual basis, why not ban skiing, football, baseball, boxing, soccer, racing, hunting & fishing? Because these are a dangers to individual's health.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: agree

junk food is a dangerIt is not a danger I never said that, it is detrimental to the growth in a child. Also leading to different forms of bodily degrade i.e. obesity, diabetes. It isn't dangerous, merely unnecessary. Sports promote having a healthy body. A few injuries here and there are not detrimental to growth, unlike obtaining diabetes and living with a blood tester in your pocket 24/7 for the rest of your life.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: Disagree

So, what about the thousands of jobs where "junk food is made." Are you going to tell them that their job was eliminated because junk food is a danger that leads to obesity and diabetes. I think that they would prefer to keep their job and rely on free choice, liberty and personal responsibility in eating healthy instead of government intervention.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: agree

Well that is a conundrum, if it was up to me ...I would make the plants that they work in make healthier foods.Let them keep their jobs, just switch em' up a bit, but hey that's just me.That and with a ban of junk food in schools, it would still be available to the general public.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: agree

Well, that is a good idea, but there is one problem. The supply of jobs that make healthier foods are already filled. Why? Because the market demands it that way. Since the market demands junk food, there will be junk food. There is only a supply if there is a demand.Unless America shifts towards eating more healthy food, the healthy problem will not change. One person or entity shouldn't make arbitrary decisions on what the general public wants, that should be left to the market, and schools and government should stay out of what the market demands.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: Disagree

and.................so whats your point rambler???.....lol
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: agree

Rambling? Do you know the basic concept of comprehension? His paragraph was rambling, mine wasn't. Thanks for playing.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: Disagree

First of all, students ought to have a variety of food to choose from in schools. When students are in schools they face tremendous stress from homework, assignments and whatnots. Why deprive them of one of the few incentives to come to school that is to have some awesome deep fried food or sweet-tasting chocolate brownies?! Why confine them to eating what is socially perceived as healthy but utterly bland? So authoritative. For all we know, the high energy (junk) food can be effective in maintaining students' enthusiasm in class, think sugar rush!
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: Disagree

You can get a lot of energy from trail mix and many other healthy foods. The energy from those foods are better because they last longer. A sugar rush only lasts for a few minutes.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: Disagree

But if what appeal to kids are junkfood, the healthy foods you mentioned aren't going to be consumed and therefore zilch benefit will be reaped, won't it?
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: agree

If junk food were banned, then the kids will have no choice but to eat healthier foods. If they get hungry enough, then I'm sure that they'll eat something healthy.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: agree

So you are advocating obesity and diabetes in children ...?Sugar rushes are not a good thing, they are actually extremely detrimental to a child's learning abilities. A child gets a sugar rush, becomes hyperactive and unable to concentrate. Shortly following comes the crash, where the child loses interest in being in the room itself and will consider sleep as a very good option.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: Disagree

My main idea there was not about sugar rushes but rather, intermittent consumption of junkfood can provide energy needed by children in breaks for example, to continue the day. Also, it didn't occur to me to advocate obesity and diabetes, what I was against is simply the banning of junkfood. Very explicitly saying, Junkfood should therefore NOT be banned from public schools. (notice I'm not saying getting fat is therefore good)My stand's pretty simple actually: Junkfood should not be banned because children are free to eat what they want to (measures should be implemented to exercise control, of course) and junkfood in small amounts definitely can provide energy for these children's day. (That's it. Don't read too far into it)
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: agree

Letting something that children like, tastes good, but is terrible for the body be available for consumption 5 days a week is a bad move. Children eat what they like no whats good for them. Junkfood should not be banned because children are free to eat what they want toChildren should not be free to make very big decisions, choosing between what tastes good and what is actually good for you is to big a choice to be readily available to a child 5 days a week.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: Disagree

why ban? only junk food can be sold in vending machines. what happens to the hungry students when they do not have food to eat when canteen stores are closed? do they have to go on studying with an empty stomach?
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: agree

>:( I'm completely confused. What are canteen stores? They are fed lunch at school, so they shouldn't have an empty stomach.
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: agree

The vending machine doesnt have to sell junk food, rather they can sell healthy snacks such as crackers, dried fruit, pretzels, juices, granola and cereal bars, ect..
Debate: Junk food should be banned from public schools.
Side: Agree

agreed like the schools here we have three vending machines just for that stuff.
