The lack of healthy food options being sold in the Joliet Junior College Campus is a serious issue. Students have access to the cafeteria food and there are stands of food scattered around the entire campus. Students also have access to vending machines and all the food that is in there are cookies, candy, and chips. In the beverage vending machines, they have a variety of sugary drinks that students can purchase. A major risk of eating junk food is the health problems that eating junk food…
