Why shouldn't junk food be banned in schools?

               "Its my body, Ill do with it what I want. And if I get fat its my own fault, and never in a million years will I blame you." This was a quote from a debate online when questioned about banning junk foods in school. There are many reasons why people think junk foods should be apart of the school atmosphere. One of the main reasons is that people believe that the student needs to learn how to make decions, right and wrong. The student will never learn unless they are given the opportunity to chose for themselves. Picking out a lunch is a big deal to an adolescent, and this would be limited if junk foods were no longer an option. The adolescent would never learn from their mistakes with only healthy foods in front of them. Kids need to learn how to eat foods that aren't as good for you in moderation.
                 Another reason junk foods should not be banned in schools because these foods give students more energy. Sugary food give students that kick to get through the day. Also, students sometimes need that Snickers bar to get them through the day. If they don't have the energy to pay attention then their school work will suffer. Banning junk foods is not worth the risk of having the student's performance in school lower.
              Last, but not least, junk foods are the main items that cafeterias and vending machines sell. When they are no longer present in school,students go else where to but these items and the school is no longer getting the revenue from the students. The students will eat bad for you foods regardless,  so why bother removing them from the school? Once the school loses the revenue from the vending machines or  a la carte items, they are fishing or money for other school organization and programs.
