Again and again, people say eat healthy, and then suggest salads. Salads don't taste good. That's why almost no one's into this healthy food stuff. Not alot of it tastes good, and it's generally too expensive. Exercise definitely be increased in schools, and the amount of sugar filled products should be cut down quite a bit, but I'd jump out a second story window if they banned everything but salads. The fact is that humans don't eat just because they're hungry, they eat because it's also enjoyable. It's at both a relief of discomfort and the gaining of it. If you condensed all of the nutrients you need in an entire day in tiny pill, I wouldn't take it. I'd rather clog my arteries and die at age 36 then reduce mealtimes to the mental equivalent of taking a crap.

I say it should be banned. I'm tired of looking at all these retards stuffing their faces in class with junk food. It just makes me want to smack them and say wait till lunch you sack of shit. I'm also getting damn tired of fat chicks wearing censored.gif ty cloths, it makes me want to vomit. If you don't have to body, don't do that. As far as I'm concerned, it's not a very good idea to view food as entertainment. I'm not saying there aren't foods that taste a lot better (such as pizza), but you should know a lot better than to base your entire diet on junk. If it doesn't taste good, suck it up princess, it's only food. I will never eat simply because it's enjoyable, there has to be a hunger associated with it. Don't take this the wrong way, I hate anerexic people as much as I hate fat people, you need to eat, you just don't need to eat like a moron.

I don't actually mind fat people that much. It's just the ones that seem to think they aren't and almost purposly try to make you vomit. In short, I'm for it, if only to give my eyes a break.

Banning soft drinks and junk food in schools won't do a thing to stem the ever-increasing tide of human obesity. One can get junk food and soft drinks easily out of school, and it's not like they're encouraging the kids to exercise. Getting kids to exercise may be more effective than a junk food and soft drink ban, but it might ultimately be a lost cause.

If a kid doesn't have the will power to eat well out of school that's his or her problem. Nobody likes a chubby bunny.

I'm A. Skinny. B. Think fat people look disgusting as well. C. Have actually cut down on junk food, but I still eat food that tastes good. D. Not a girl, a princess, or a crossdresser. The icon is just to freak people out. Anyways, I stated my opinion, and you claimed to be wiser then me. Calm down a bit there, I was just stating my opinion, one that's not even about you. I eat when I'm hungry as well, but I don't eat food that tastes like crap, (atleast not without something to cover up the taste). I just don't see a point of taking the fun out of everything. What if they make a process that inpregnates a women without any pleasure for either side, (ie, take out the masturbation for the male), and it turns out to make generally healthier babies? Is it better then sex? I think not.

Then you can have sex simply for pleasure. If they developed something like that it would probably be beyond the the price range of the average joe. I never said I thought you were a girl. Saying suck it up princess is like saying stop being a censored.gif , don't be stupid. I never said I was smarter, you came up with that on your own. Just because my opinion happens to contradict yours doesn't necessarily mean I'm replying to just you. Contrary to your implied beliefs, you are not the centre of attention.

Exercise should be encouraged more in high school and elementary school instead of just banning the junk. I only had to take two years of PE in high school. After that, I just stopped and became lazy.... very very lazy.

Obesity has started to become a 'norm' in American society. Fat people riding around in those wheelchair thingies has become a common sight and seeing them wear a size medium shirt while all their fat is hanging out. My health professor told a story of how she was in Wal-Mart and saw a very obese woman in those automated shopping carts with her fat hanging out of the sides. And then she said that the woman pulled out a carton of Ben and Jerry's and started to eat it. Sad... really.

Yet I must say that this is but my own personal opinions. Yes, I do believe that junk food and soft drinks should be banned at schools, especially, the sort of cafeterias, or rather, where I am, tuck shops.

My reasonings? All by person experience. Straight after class, its interval, what do you see? a long line of students waiting for food, hot chips, soft drinks, but what do you expect? How would the world get good athletes if half of them are there in the lines?. You simply can't. It is bribery. Bribing you with hot 'yummy' food which are high-in fat and are simply, too hard to resist.

But of course, they wouldn't ban it, even if they do, it'd cause a bigger riot, would it not?

Lemme see...

Some schools here in Minnesota ban junk food and soft drinks, yet, the supposedly healthier food HAVE THE EXACT SAME NUTRITION FACTS OR WORST (not ingredients). I don't think so if the school board is going to be blind off of that. censored.gif the people who run the school board up here.

This post made me laugh, a lot, because it is one of the worst posts I have ever read on SEN, which is quite a feat.
So why did you get angry at an overweight person? Just getting angry at someone because they are fat is like getting angry at someone because they are black. Throwing insults at people for no reason makes you the one at fault, not the fat person, who seemingly never did anything to you. So your mom was right to get angry at you, she doesn't want someone she raised to grow up to be a jerk to people for no reason. Your parents get in the way because they care about you, but that is a completely different subject.

Anyway, junk food should be allowed in schools, if people want to destroy their bodies from the insides, so be it. I'm overweight, but I don't eat tons of junk everyday, I eat less than most of my friends, but I'm just lacking in the physical activity department, except during the fall.
My schools PE department consists almost entirely of running, even weight training runs. Every day you have gym, it's about a 5 minute run near the beginning of the semester, about 15 minutes by the end. Or 2 laps around the track at a faster pace, which is a half of a mile. Every few weeks there is a 20 minute run or a timed mile run that you get graded on.

No, getting mad at person for being fat is totally diffrent from getting angry at person for being black. Being fat (I'm talking about obese, greasy dumbasses) is your own fault, being black isn't. Being fat is unhealthy, being black has nothing to do with health (at least one being better than the other wise). Last, he didn't say he got mad at the fast person for being fat, he said he got mad at him and decided to give him a low blow (not right but you should get your facts strait). Not that there aren't many ways fat people can piss you off simply by being present, they sweat a lot so it smells like ass around them, they're unpleasent to look at (for me anyway, I don't know if you have some sort of fetish). I'm not saying all fat people a greasy annoying retards, I know a few who are alright, but they aren't that fat either... Think about it, most things a normal person wants revolve around not being fat. Sex life, healthy life style, long life etc etc... No offense but what school's PE system is doing jackshit, none of that's hard.

PsychoTemplar please stop using profanity in your posts, it offends me, likewise to anyone else, words like that go far from helping your argument.

Anyway, you're right, they are nothing alike.
Intelligence is not affected much by weight, like you said in your post, unless it's so far in one direction, like they lack nutrition and the rest of their body doesn't function properly or they are all the way on the other side (overweight) and can't function because of that.

The "get your facts straight" part of your post is an unnecessary almost flame, especially in this situation where you are wrong because of incorrect assumptions. I asked why he got angry at the overweight person, all he said was,

it doesn't say why he was angry. I went on to say that if it were just because of the person being fat, that that is a stupid reason.

I ask you this, would a smart person knowingly jeopardise their chances of living a long time, getting it on and being hygenic?

I have a shampoo recommendation for you. http://maddox.xmission.com/crybaby.gif
Yes this is a joke from Maddox, it applies here nicly. I figured it's better than coming up with something else. Also, correct me if I'm mistaken, but I don't see you asking him why he was angry anywhere in this forum, maybe you pmed him and he decided to paste his post from here?

i have a little fat on me, im nowhere near obese! i do what a fat kid does, go to school, eat some junk food (thats all there is.... anywhere) come home and play games..... before i moved, i was FATTER!! at my old house, i hardly ever played games, i was off riding my bike, and mostly playing war with airsoft or bb guns, and doing all kinds of things. well, i do what a fat kid does, but the difference is, i dont PIG OUT on the junk food, i only eat when im hungry. oh, and banning junkfood, well then, lets ban tobacco, and alcohol, because they kill too, oh and ban cars, and trains, and guns, and airplanes and all other things that cause bodily harm.

so no banning of junk food, let people get fat, its their choice. if i ever get too large, ill slim down.... see its as easy as doing more workouts.... but just to let ya know, having wargames is the best workout..... it has everything in it.... running, climbing, jumping, wrestling, lifting, carrying.... i can go on for a long time...

and by the way, schools should have a WARGAMES type thing... laser tag is best choice, because paintball makes a mess.... and pricy...
