They put nasty pictures of the effects of cigarettes on your body on their packages. Like messed up lungs, nasty teeth etc. But people still buy them.

Snack food isn't needed to live.

Yeah, well, food is food. And the food you eat is what's keeping you alive.

Yes, and how many people will read a nutrition information chart?

I'd say 1 in 5. These people wont take any notice unless the information is thrust in their face every time they go to eat something with a fat/garbage content above a certain percentage.

In the UK, all cigarette companies have to put massive warnings on their packets saying stuff like: 'Smoking these will kill you.'

It hasn't worked, so perhaps my plan is flawed.

Hahaha...
"WARNING: Eating this may cause death."

That'd be funny.

The reason I bring up the nutrition charts is because people complain a lot about fast food companies not having their information anywhere.

Should it be banned?
Yes, obviously.

Will it happen?
Unlikely. At least within a 50-years ratio.

Please elaborate on why you think it should obviously be banned.

Here's the real problem with why all these banning fatty food crap is coming up. People these days are sue happy. "Oh no, I'm fat, let's sue McDonald's. It must be the food's fault too. Meh, I'm too lazy right now, I wont get off my fat ass to go sue them right now though." Now they want to ban it from schools and crap like that... If I couldn't drink what I wanted to drink in school, and I usually do drink whatever I want, I would... Do stuff. That would make up for it. And be pissed off. Yeah. Biatchmo Jr.[/center]

Ban that piece of shitty food.

I hate it because sometimes, the cafeteria at school gives crappy junk food at lunch and I can't practice becasue what I ate was junk food and it's worthless to the human body. I lost a competition because of that.

A large percentage of Americans are so overwheight and this is one of the problems. Another one of the problems is that they are lazy people and all they do is eat/complain that they are fat and then they eat some more.

They should ban sodas completely from schools and junk food as well. Make them eat healthier food, which will give them more energy thus diminishing their sleep time during class, they feel betetr and thus they get better grades. They will also do better at physical activities.

He said that there WERE warnings, just that no one pays attention to them because they are too busy gorging themselves on things that please them.

A lot of people are doing that, how they sit there complaining that the food they are eating is too fat WHILE eating fat food is just... bad. I think people treat FAT (Not obese, just fat) people with too much respect, it's their fault they are fat, no matter how many snack companies pump fat in thier food, they are the ones eating it, its like smoking a cigar 20 times a day, getting a busted up lung, and blaming it on the cigar company.

If they are going to ban junk food, fix the school lunches to make them healthier. I don't know about your school, but mine has grease on the food. Its kind of nasty.

The school that I go to doesn't have a cafeteria (No, it's not a high school, I'm only 13...just incase you thought it was wierd) But there are vending machines in the community room and there are students selling snacks everyday. Most of the students of our school seem to be in good shape because we have phys. ed. like 4 times a week. Our school uses a 6-day cycle and each individual class goes to different subjects everyday. We have music on 2 of those days and the other 4 goes to phys. ed. We also have a hell load of cross-curricular things that you could do, such as touch football, basketball, crosscountry, soccer, etc. I don't see why the students at our school shouldn't be as healthy as can be. In fact, when I watched Supersize Me, I was convinced that our school is probably the healthiest out of most, or maybe even all of the schools in North America.

I say ban the junk food and the soft drinks!! They are screwing up peoples lives.

For one, I am considered fat... And its not funny.. you get made fun of.. people would start avoiding you, putting you at the butt of their jokes... It's so sad...

Also I read an article that obese people would EAT just to pacify their boredomness or trying to help cope with depression.

Obesity and fattyness is stupendously high among the average children... And to think that obesity used to only happen to adults...

[center]They shouldn't be banned, just not given to the fat kids.
People really need to learn to control themselves. Just having it there, or not, isn't going to change anything. It's all your decision, your own fault if you eat 50 metric tons of chocolate, or whatever, every day.[/center]

Wait, I don't think that would do any good... All it would do is tempt the fat kids into eating more and with watching people eating, it would rather make them eat more, thus RAISING obesity and fattyness amongst children...

The problem is MOST fat kids can't control themselves. I'm fat (Ok, I admit it, I'm fat...) but I can control myself.

Wait, wait, wait. Can someone even eat 50 metric tons of chocolate? That would be cool..

Don't you think children are being influenced by their parent's eating habits?

[center]I doubt you could even fit 50 metric tons of chocolate into most school buildings.
The whole American societal view on eating/nutrition is ed up. We should just make everyone farm for themselves... Go back to the days of survival of the fittest.[/center]

No, we should just make it a law that you can't make stupid legal battles in courts. Such as a lawsuit against McDonald's and all that stupid crap that people try to make money rich by getting fat for.

People should just learn not to eat grease for breakfast lunch and dinner. It's delicious, so I think that it should shouldn't be banned, but people should eat it sparingly. We have no self restraint, because we don't hold ourselves accountable for our actions. Thus when people file suit against McDonalds for instance, they are basically saying that they have no control over what they do. I'm pretty sure that they know that it's bad for them.

If ur overweight dont make it hard on the peoplez who are at a normal weight! Extremely overweight peoplez should have programs (like rehab cept with food)!

So keep them snacks!! And let the overweight people deal wit programs or somtin.... its just not right....

I obviously don't think it should be banned either. As for those overweight people(I guess you can say I'm fat but I'm only 10 pounds over my normal weight limit.....) they just need to exercise more. Hell I eat lots of junk food and sodas and what not. Only thing is I play basketball and football with my friends a lot. I am also in a gay P.E. class which makes us run every Monday and Wednesday. Meh but my point is it shouldn't be banned.

So now your going to blame it on the overweight people, eh? YOU skinny people are the problem! If you don't ban junk food and soft drinks, overweight people are going to be tempted... YOU skinny people can control your eating habits, but not all of the overweight people can (I said not all!!!)...

Children in America are the overweight of overweight people (does that even make sense?!!?!?!). They go to school for, what, eight to ten hours a day?! And how many days a week? Five to six?! Parents don't have control over children in school, its the overweight person's friends that are contributing to making fat people MORE fat... Don't you see??? Children at younger age are easily influenced by other people!!! Don't you think a child would want a McDonald's Happy Meal and other things unhealthy for them because of TOYS!!! Adults won't do that!

Yea, it's not right, for YOU lazy people?? You could try to help, instead of just leaving the job for the overweight people!! You can at least try to play sports or something athletic but fun.

Yea, it's ok to have junk food and soft drinks every now and then, but don't go overboard...

I do have some suggestions that did help me (as I said, I am a bit overweight..)

Think about the person you like, you might not want to eat then...

If you had to choose, like, between a slice of pizza or five bags of chips, go with something that makes you full more!! If you go with five bags of chips, you'll just find yourself buying more junk food.

Tell you parents to remember in the future don't give you junk food for school or something, then when you ask at a later time, they'll say no. And no matter how much you cry or scream or hate your parents, they'll say no... You have no control this time.. It's all your parent's... (I'm talking to kids ages 6-12, you seem to listen to your parents less when your 13+).

I never tried this but, always hang out with people of opposite gender, it would make you eat less... I think...

I hope this helps...

Depends on how thick and dense the chocolate was.

That was not funny... Not funny at all... and how would you fill up a school with chocolate, doesn't matter how thick or dense it is... it just won't fit...

You would have to make the chocolate inside the building, so that it would fit it like a mould. It is possible.

I believe the topic was rather or not junk food should be banned from schools, not if some chocolate will fit into a building....honestly people stay on topic.

Should the talk of chocolate fitting into a building be banned from the topic about junk food being banned from schools...? I think so.

So here we go back on track.

When fat people start to exercise people will stop sueing and all that crap. But fat people don't want to exercise and it's never going to happen. It's not the food's fault.

In some cases, kahoona, you are right. As for me, I already said I was a little chubby, but I exercise a LOT. Sports, P.E. class, and I lift weights outside my school. So, it isn't MY fault I am chubby, because I DO exercise. I guess you can further blame it on metabolism? Beats me.

Hmm... Maybe you should stop eating donuts every 2 steps while jogging.

So then how did you get fat? By exercising?
Even from family history you only gain a few pounds.

Dude, you are really annoying me JetBlast. READ WHAT I SAY BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH. I NEVER said I was fat. And stop being stupid I don't eat 2 donuts while I jog. honestly the nerve of some people. For everything I eat I exercise. It is just because of my metabolism that I can't be "normal"(whatever the hell that is nowadays). So don't comment on this post until you READ what we are saying.

Yes you did, Just in different words.

That's not what I said...
Maybe YOU need to read MY posts.


off topic, I'll stop making an argument here -.-

honestly i cant live without junk food i mean when im hungry and no ones home thats what i eat.
