Should Children Be Banned From Buying Junk Food (for And Against)?

I don't think so, it is the consumers responsibility to take care of their own health. I think the right track is making sure that the nutritional information is available. I do think that most americans (me included) eat too much fast food and it makes us fat - but we should still have that choice.
Good question!

Yes because they cause disease and cancers and can lead to weight problems
Many people in US had that situations so yes, it should be banned, only in US to me
lol

No its shouldn't be banned. Yes lots of kids in Britain are fat , but thats becoz of lack of self control not the food ! The foods do have high fats , but if you eat little of it , it wont effect your health !!!!

Children should not be banned from buying junk food!
Thats too far! They can buy it for fundimental reasons and some junk food includes the portions of food we need. A child can make up their mind if they want to eat it or don't. We all have a right!

Yes and no. :)  they should not buy any junk food that is the parents job to bring the right foods home from the store to eat.that said they should not be banned from eating all junk food.they should be taught to eat the right foods and snacks in moderation/as a treat not a meal.that way when they grow up they can decide for themselves what to eat to feel good and stay healthy.even trainers will tell you it's okay to have a pizza or subs or whatever once in a while ex: For a family night/movie/game night.

No but they need to be given healthy food instead and educate them about the bad effect of junk food

No.. Because you have to control the consumption of food, not totally ban it.

Children 0-9 should be limited very carefully to the amount they have

Children 10-16 yes but with their pocket money and they should also eat healthy and exsersize as well

17+ it's their decision

No they shouldn't be banned they should only have it every now and then for example once a month

Dont

They should limit the amount they eat.

Yes I believe it should, but the students would not eat what was available, that is why the schools allow junk food !!

Yes, they should be banned because it's not good for health and you might be sick.
If you eat lots of junk food you get fat and if you're too fat its unhealthy.

No they should not be able to it should be the parents job to buy them nice healthy foods

No, I think we should ease away not cold turkey

No never some kids need their junk food to get there energy they have 2 eat different things.

I feel they should be as I see so many fat children stuffing their faces with the wrong food which will only make their problem worse. Shame when one can see a beautiful child under all the fat which they needn't be carrying - not to mention the serious health problems they are likely to incur in future.

I don't think it should be banned I just think they should not eat a lot of it because they might fall asleep in school and that is bad because then you will not listen so you would not have barely any education.

Maybe, I actually don't know as we  do need at least a bit of junk food but too much will affect our health and body.

Because it has  a bad effect on adolescent

No kids listen to there parents parents need to start teaching there kids about junk food its there faults

No! A little junk food is alright but make sure kids don't have too much. I wouldn't go as far as banning it

Please just help me right anything where it says a column for and against and then please tell me because my child is stuck on her homework please help comment please!

Don't have a single reason to not keep junk food out of the schools. All I have to do is drive by the school about the time the kids are going to school and see the effects of junk food.

Does any one else have any more opinions and if so can you support with with evidence.

PS: I need this for homework :)

No kids should be allowed to buy junk food because it makes them fat and they will never want to eat healthy foods and do exercise.

I think they should yes

Yes I think you r right

Yes, it makes lovely children looks as fa as a pig
and it is unhealthy, sometimes can make you sick
