When I read the "Leisure centre 'junk food' alert" in BBC news, it reminds me of ban soft drink with soda in my school and I continue to think about it. Does it help change children's behavior?
According to the article, it's hard to find healthy food and nutritional information at the children's sport center. Although many snacks and chocolates with high calories are banned in children's schools, they are in vending machines at sport center so children still eat them. Most people who involve with this issue get the idea which is to give more healthier food choices to parents and children.
I think it's a good idea to reduce number of children who eat or drink unhealthy food because they don't have junk food at school and if it always happens, it can becomes to behavior. If it is their behavior, they will always choose healthy food, not only in school. Moreover, providing many choices at the place which you cannot prohibit selling junk food will help because parent and children can choose food that is good for their health. However, the government should make everyone concern about this instead of ban selling. If everyone awares of it, the goverment don't need to prohibit or do something else.

I agree with your idea. First I think that can not ban the "junk food" in the school, I think childhood is happy, and which children never eat chocolate before? Next I agree that we should reduce number of children who always eat "junk food". We can change children's behavior step by step.
ReplyDeleteI think giving information and make people concern for their health is exactly right. However, would it be effect at all? Sometime, children already know what a result of eating bad but they can't resist their want. I have one younger brother who love eating chocolate very much, despite his mom prohibited him from them because he was going to be fat boy but He can't stop from his want. Nowadays, he is a chubby guy.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you think in someplace such as child school, children places should control junk food? it's good for them and parents, isn't it?
I agree with you that the government should make everyone concern about junk food's problem instead of banning them. Banning junk food cannot change children's behavior ,if they don't realize the effect of eating junk food.
ReplyDeleteI think make every one concern about junk food problem is very difficult to do because most people not aware about the consequences of junk food. Everyone know about junk food is bad for health but they still eat it because it just delicious. Same like the problem of drug and substance abuse, everyone know about it's very bad but they still use it.
ReplyDeleteMy comments on this issue are on Tan's and Aor's posts, so I won't repeat them here.
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be a lot of disagreement on this question.
