Junk Food Article #3

Summary: School principles in the District of Cloumbia are running out of money for extra programs their school offers so the only choice to get the money needed is for them to sign a contract with coca cola in order to get the money needed for things like prom, replacement books, etc.  Many people have opposed to it and others have favored it.  People who oppose it say this generation is drinking more soda than milk and it is a risk to their health causing them osteoporosis or obesity in their future.  They argue that by letting the vending machines in the schools would be a danger because the school is not teaching students about nutrition.  Those who favor it say that either or the students would buy soda from the corner store because the students cannot get it at the school.  They argue that it would benefit the school if they sell the soda because students wont buy it at the corner store but at the school and that it would only be offered at certain times during the day.

Opinion:  I believe that soda should be offered in the school because students should get the option and choice of what they eat.  It is the parents responsibility to teach students the way to eat healthy and have moderation. If they parents cant teach them about nutrition the school should take the money benefiting from the vending machines to have a fun non boring class about heatlhy eating and moderation.
