In John Metallo’s piece, “Banning Junk Food in Schools Is Not Effective”, he discusses the reasons why the sale of junk food should not be prohibited in schools. He believes that the sale of junk food should not be ban in schools because a child’s eating habit is developed at home, not at school. Therefore, it is the parent’s responsibility in the decision that their child makes on what to eat at school. He furthers adds on that a lot of the junk food in schools are actually brought in and that no matter whether the sale of junk food is ban in schools, junk food will still get into the hands of children and adolescents. He even states, “Much more junk food is brought into school each day than is sold in any vending machine in a school (Matallo).
