I agree that something needs to be done in schools about nutrition. However, I think it would be very beneficial for students to have to take some sort of nutrition class, and learn how to make smart choices. Once kids are out in the real world (especially at college), it will be more helpful for them to know how to avoid unhealthy foods that will be readily available. If we simply eliminate all unhealthy foods from schools, kids will either find ways to bring them in from home, or not know how to react in the future when faced with temptation. But I also believe that it would be MUCH better if students had healthier options in the lunch room. Turkey sandwiches and veggies has to cost about the same as pizza and brownies, right?
