[justify][justify]here is something wrong when salsa passes as a vegetable in the school cafeteria and students can buy soda and candy from vending machines on campus. With this in mind we can only begin to wonder what the future holds for today’s adolescents. When students are exposed to a life of poor nutrition, the result can be obesity and regrets. For countless Canadian children breakfast or lunch drops out of a vending machine at school. This can be a can of soda, perhaps washing down a chocolate bar followed by a bag of potato chips. Students may be junk food junkies but the schools are hooked as well and have become increasingly dependent on the revenue that soda and candy machines bring in each year. While soda sales may help supplement the school’s bottom line health experts are increasingly worried that soft drinks are contributing to a student’s poor health. “It was concluded that teen-aged boys’ soda consumption has tripled in the last 20 years and doubled for girls” (Winter). “Teens now drink twice as much soda as milk” (Brasher). Conversely, children are taught in the classroom about good nutrition a
vending machines, school stores and fund raisers offering low nutrient density options. Schools can and should provide an environment that exemplifies a healthier relationship with food. "A recent research report from the University of Kentucky showed that 84 percent of food sold in school vending machines is "junk food", such as soft drinks, candy, fried foods and pastries" (Ogden). It is important for people of all ages to maintain a healthy weight. Children spend a lot of time in schools and are afforded a great deal of freedom in selecting snack foods. As in adults there is no quick and easy way for kids to lose weight. For this reason we should take the initiative while we can to change the ongoing nutrition problems within our schools today. By supplying a lunch you are also able to monitor that your teenager receives the recommended daily intake of vitamins. In fact they are low enough that candy bars and potato chips can meet them if they have a significant amount of at least one nutrient. For this reason schools are only contributing to the problem and do not create a healthy nutritious environment. Instead, many overweight kids end up becoming overweight adults. "Although potato chips are made from potatoes they are deep-fried and contain a large amount of salt and fat" (Food). 'In a similar way pizza and candy are the highest reward used for good behaviours, attendance and academic achievement' (Brasher). Giving them the opportunity to choose anything they desire invariably results in a pre-packaged diet. Even if your child avoids the soda machines in school hallways it will not prevent the other kids from indulging. healthy food choices but are surrounded by[/justify]
