Ban Junk Food in Schools to Combat Obesity and Boost Academic Success

Junk food should be banned in schools due to its health risks, including obesity, heart problems, and Type II diabetes. Studies show that healthier food options can significantly improve students' academic performance by enhancing grades, attention, and brain function. While vending machines may provide financial support for schools, they often offer high-sugar, unhealthy snacks that hinder student learning. By eliminating junk food and promoting nutritious meals, we can create a healthier school environment. Let’s empower students and seniors to sign petitions advocating for this crucial change.
