    Around sixty-seven percent of the people across the country believe schools should offer only nutritious drinks, such as white milk, water, and natural fruit juice, to students. I strongly agree that adding nutritious beverages to school lunches is a logical and reasonable idea. To begin with, when products are locally sourced, the local economy around the school will also receive a boost. Also, when a parent of a school student sends their child, or children, to school, they should not have the need to worry about the things that their kid may drink.…

    Not only children but society is also affected by this issue of childhood obesity. Children are the future of this world and we need to help them learn to be healthy so they grow as healthy adults. Extra pounds add extra risk for diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers, even among children which it might also bring social and economic consequences. I think another issue that society may be part of is that we are not informing children and parents the effects of obesity in the children. Lack of information is a part of this because kids do not know the effects that the food we eat have in our body and do not know what is and what is not healthy.…
