Healthy Food in Schools

Journal question: Healthy food has been the topic of the discussion in the Smithtown School District; from changing food in the cafeterias to ending bake sales to no more cookies in the school store. Check out today's article regarding a similar plan in West Babylon. Should Smithtown take the same actions, what are your feelings on our food in school, what would you change?

Smithtown should not take similar actions, and other schools should not either. I think the schools should leave the food choices how they are because they are fine and have worked for all of these years. The school should not change the food choices and remove unhealthy foods because now you are limiting the food options, and if someone really wants a muffin, they are just going to bring it from home instead. It will not change what people eat and the school will lose money because they will sell less food. It is also not the schools place to not let students eat certain foods, and by removing some foods they are saying that you should not be eating them.
