a letter to the editor about the craze of eating fast food amongst the youth
Answers
To the editor:
About 20% of Americans are overweight and some lay the blame on school cafeterias and the unhealthy foods they supply students.
Since the schools are still providing healthy choices, it is not their fault. Cafeterias should not stop selling unhealthy food because it provides a great learning experience.
Whatever the child chooses is their sole decision, even if swayed by peers. If the student chooses unhealthy foods and becomes obese, it is not the school's fault. The school is not forcing the students to buy the food. They should not interfere or decide for the child how to live their life.
If the child chooses to avoid the food, let them do so, if they choose to eat it, let them do so and live with the consequences, good or bad.
