Junk food should not be banned in schools for several reasons. First, some junk foods contain nutrients that are beneficial to health such as vitamins, minerals, protein and fiber. Second, studies show that limited amounts of junk food may increase intelligence in rats by helping them solve puzzles faster. Third, schools earn approximately $30,000 annually from selling snacks and junk food, which helps fund programs like athletics. Banning junk food is not necessary since television watching contributes more to obesity risk than foods from schools. Instead of bans, better nutrition education and exercise options could help address obesity concerns.
