The healthier the child, the happier the child.

                 At the end of the day, there can only be positive effects on children when banning junk food in schools. The school environment is one of several settings that can influence children’s food choices and eating habits. Schools can ensure that the available food and beverage options are healthy and help young people eat food that meets dietary recommendations for fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nonfat or low-fat dairy products. 
                  This can prevent children from bone and joint problems, sleep apnea, and social and psychological problems such as stigmatization and poor self-esteem. Entail, Obese youth are more likely to have risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure. In a population-based sample of 5- to 17-year-olds, 70% of obese youth had at least one risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Not only will banning junk food prevent all of these health issues, it will help the learning environment, as well. A healthier kid, is a happier kid. When the environment that kids become educated in is all in all more cheerful, the student will most likely remember what happens in the classroom due to being more involved and less drained. 
                The school can partner up this healthy program with a Be Active Program. The healthier child, also the more likely they will want to run outside and play become more physically active.  Many people argue that the vending machines and junk food sold ala carte are brining the big bucks for the school, but at the end of the day is your child's health less important than that? Again, a healthier kid, is a happier kid.
