    Schools shouldn't sell loads of junk food but they might as well sell a little

    I would buy junk food twice a week because it is not the best thing to eat

    I think unhealthy foods should be sold at school since every one need a scrumptious snack or treat once and again. And plus, I would buy it and then gobble it up!

    I understand why they are doing it but I wish they wasn't.

    That is sooooooooooooo unfair!My school has to sell fruit and water, and they get fizzy drinks and crisps!Although,junk food is unhealthy and can make you extremeley fat and give you health problems,but i still think it is not fair how academies get to eat and do what they want without any rules or guidlines.

    I do not think fizzy drinks and chocolate should be sold in schools. It has lots of energy and sugar levels, so gets pupils a lot more hype during lessons and is also not a substantial food, that won't fill you up. Schools should be selling foods like sandwiches, salad pots, and hot dishes with vegetables, but apart from that schools should not be selling chips and chicken, hot dogs, sausage rolls and burgers.. these are really not healthy meals which should be considered into banning them too.

    Come on, everyone needs a treat sometimes... Although if schools did sell loads of junk food then kids there would eat really unhealthily.
