I read an article about people getting fat. In the part where it mentioned school is worse than the fast food places, I was thinking how can the place like school, that always has to give good things to the students can be worse than fast food restaurants. The article said that 60% of schools do not offer fresh foods. Of course the children will like the fast foods served in the school. However, while it is unhealthy, the schools need to give the children the fresh foods rather than what the children want. Also, the article describes that 83% of high schools and 67% of middle school now have contracts with a soft drink manufacturer. And most of the schools get benefit by offering the soft drink. I think soft drink is worse than the fast foods. While children keep drink the soft drink, it is hard to drink water because their tongue got adapted to the soft drink. Then, they are going to keep drinking the soft drink and eat the fast foods with them which is very unhealthy for little kids. I know that the schools want to get profit as much as they can. However, is it really good to get profit by making the children unhealthy? They should know what is really important for the children for the first place. For this kind of situation, we have to make a rule that the schools should not offer the fast foods and soft drinks to the children. Children are the most important people who will grow up and make the country stronger. So, it is adult’s work to keep the children healthy.
