The ban would not help because it gives students a false sense of security. The school states that a ban would not be very helpful by saying,"But that small amount from the factory could cause a reaction in someone who is very allergic." This statement helps the school by explaining that the ban on the peanuts would make a child think that they don't have to worry about the problem
Growing up healthy eating is encouraged for many people. Some debate that schools should encourage healthy eating as well. However others believe that it is not a schools choice about what children eat. Schools should not have whole wheat lunches because children should be able to make the decisions of what they eat by themselves. Whole wheat lunches cost too much for schools.
Removing the ability for them to have a choice strips people of their freedom, and America is built on the ideal of freedom. Adding on, the soda ban might not even have any health benefits. Referring back to Gross’ article, a nutritionist is quoted as saying, “It is not reasonable to blame or cite one product… [the proposal] produces a false sense of accomplishment in the fight against obesity.” Even health experts disagree with the ban. This mandate supposedly improves people’s well-being, but it fails at accomplishing that goal.
¨Several critics questioned why the city was making proposal on sugary drinks a priority when some city schoolchildren have no physical education classes.¨ (Washington TImes) In New York, Mayor Bloomberg placed a law on the sizes of soda citizens are allowed to get. However, this caused a lot of controversy on whether the ban was good or bad. Despite the amount of people supporting the ban´s choice, the ban does have some downsides on it. It is not a good idea to limit the amount of a soda a person can purchase (or propose the ban) because it's not applying to all, it's taking rights away from people, and itś not a big deal.
Is it possible that the sticky, disgusting substance that is constantly stuck under desks and tables and known as a “distraction” can actually help you in school? To this day, most schools have considered gum as a sort of contraband, labeling it “Disgusting” and “Messy”. Chewing gum and other snacks have been considered contraband, and could get the culprit doing this into a lot of trouble. But there’s a lot of information leading to the possibility of gum helping you in your academics. From helping you concentrate to improving your memory, the positives are endless!
For many people, chewing gum helps them do better in school which is why it should be aloud. Dr.Kenneth Allen showed through his research that gum helps your memory which makes you do better on your tests. The reasoning for this is that chewing gum helps to release insulin into the bloodstream which affects how well your memory works. Since gum chewing helps you brain think better and gives you better memory, kids should be allowed to chew it during class. Emma Greene stated that mental tasks are done 20% better when they chewing gum.

The soda ban is a defective idea in itself because of the loopholes in the plan. As Karin Klien talks about the problem in her article “Sodas a Problem but…”, “Convenience stores such as 7-Eleven are overseen by State and would be exempt , but a Burger King across the street would be restricted” (Klien, 288). In addition, there isn’t a need for this soda ban because it makes no sense for a customer at a fast food restaurant (like Subway) to walk across the street and go to a 7-eleven, which is a state-ran store that has drinks that are over 16oz., and even over 64oz. People could even go to a grocery store and buy a 2-liter bottle of the sugary drink because it isn’t run by the city. Another way the soda ban contradicts itself is because of how you’d get the same amount of sugar if you were to drink a drink from a smoothie
Should the Government Limit the Size of Sugary Drinks Should the government tell us how to live our lives? The government should not limit the amount of sugary drinks because its an american right to choose what we eat and sugary drinks are not the leading contributor to health problems. First of all limiting the size of sugary drinks is not the root of the problem, its the natural craving for sweet foods and the lack of education of its bad effects. There is little to no education on the bad effects of sugary drinks and foods so thats really not our problem its the government for the lack of learning about these types of harmful foods. Sugary drinks may be one of the leading factors, but there are other foods that are just as bad.
In order to help combat the rising drug problem in America, schools are having to make the choice of whether to use drug dogs or not. Schools have the choice of bringing drug sniffing dogs into the building in order to find and confiscate drugs that are in the possession of its students. I believe that the dogs should not be used until a problem has been confirmed or there is reasonable suspicion and severe action is warranted. Using drug dogs to sniff out drugs is a relatively new practice that started about 24 years ago (Robinson) and can be quite controversial. Using drug dogs is still relatively new because schools are trying to combat the rising drug problems that the United States has been facing.
Chewing gum is a privilege and it can be taken away from students who abuse this privilege. If anything gum is a very beneficial to a
Being hungry is a form of physical pain. Students often become hungry during school, which make them focus on their hungry other than school work. Students can barely concentrate when they are hungry. But on the other hand, eating in school can be very loud and obnoxious. Students should be allowed to eat in class, because it helps the mind focus and stay on task.
In the end soda should be allowed in all middle schools. Some reason it should be is kids need more of a choice at school and soda is not the cause of all the bad stuff. I always wonder, why can adults have soda at work but middle schoolers can’t have soda at school? That is unfair and that is why I think middle schoolers should be able to have soda at

The press is known to explode with news everyday, informing the people on different topics that are happening worldwide. The newest revelation is on the soda ban in New York. Websites and pages are plastered with information and headlines announcing how “Mayor Bloomberg is overreaching with N.Y.C. large soda ban” or “Banning the Big Gulp Ban”. Reporters are scrambling to join the bandwagon of criticizing or praising this mayor’s audacious decision. There are many factors that influence opinions on the matter, but one of the most popular reasons is because of the high numbers of people that are obese and overweight.
