Question: Why is junk food banned from schools!?

Answers:
Moronic, isn't it!? They need to keep the junk food out of schools, but at the same time they need to encourage exercise on the playground!. I personally think that 30 minutes of calisthenics should be a mandatory part of the school day for all grades K-12!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's because kids are getting obese!.

They sit and play video games instead of getting exercise!.

They refuse to do work around the house which would be exercise!.

Until parents wise up and start "raising" their kids, instead of giving them a video game to shut them up, the kids will continue to be obese and uninformed!.

The pop machines should go also!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Have you seen the size of the youths that America is producing!? We live in a fast food nation and a school lunch may be the only thing healthy they eat all day!.
As for play grounds the schools have to be soooo care full that the fat boy or girl is not chosen last, or the first one tagged out and the parents sue for discrimination because their child cant run fast or is easily tagged out!.
Its a sad state of mind, but it is a truth full one!Www@FoodAQ@Com

They can run around, they just can't hit kids and that is what happens when kids play tag!. Kids can be aggressive and get out of control!. If you were a playground monitor for 200 kids, you'd understand!. I think they are still encouraged to run around and play though!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

but they're doing the no junk food ban thing at the middle and high schools too, were they dont have resses or "play time" and school sytems are on the same lunch programs, so they sortta have to cuz they dont want to be blammed for making kids fat(er)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I understand junk food!.!.!. with the nutrition program and all, as for running around that would mean someone would actually have to watch them!. ( like a job ) Sort of like every class has teachers' aides so they don't have to watch much there either!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's banned because some kids will eat nothing but the juck food and not eat what's healthy for them!. And plus the teachers are teaching how to eat better so they have to serve good eating habits in school!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

but they arn't smart like that
