Should Tuck Shop Stop Selling 'Junk Food'?
A meeting has been launched between the principal and representatives of parents, teachers and students in the aftermath of a decision made by our school principal. She told the tuck shop to stop selling 'junk food' but some students insist on their right to decide whether they should buy it.
In the meeting, the principal restated that the policy is to respond to the government's campaign to promote healthy eating. She believes that school is the most suitable place to coincide with the government for the promotion, because people can change more effectively when they are young.
However, some students showed their disagreement on the statement. They argue that promotion is different from prohibition. The principal should promote the concept of healthy eating but not use the aggressive approach to stop student buying junk food at the school. They also think that the policy is ineffective as the policy cannot prevent students from eating junk food after school. Therefore, the school should provide an environment as same as society, in which 'junk food' is available for everyone to buy, and teach them how to exercise freedom of choice appropriately.
Teachers agree with the principal although they are also affected by the policy. They think that school is a learning place and it should have a higher-standard requirement for the students. Though the prohibition, students can learn how to get used to having no junk food. Also, Students spend most of their time at school; they can eat as less unhealthy food as possible by the policy.
Representatives of parents partly agree with the policy. They think that no parent wants their children eat too much junk food; the policy can help parents monitor their children and prevent them from misusing their pocket money. However, they think that the policy is going too fast to be accepted by the students. The policy should be launched step by step as it may be uneasy for some students to adapt and it has caused a strong reaction from them. Besides, some parents suggest that the tuck shop can launch some new healthy food, such as salad and fruits, as substitutes for junk food.
Unexpectedly, some students, most of them are girls, strongly agree with the prohibition. They think that the sale of 'fat food', such as fish balls and soft drinks, was always a temptation. They were tempted by the food even they didn't go near the tuck shop. They saw their peers eating it; then went to buy it. Therefore, they think that the policy help them a lot to prevent from the temptation as well as the 'peer-pressure' because no assess can they buy it at school.
At the end of the meeting, the principal approved the suggestion of the parents and promised to apply a moderate approach to respond to the government's campaign. She said she would tell the tuck shop to stop selling 'junk food' in phases and introduce new healthy food.
