Childhood obesity is a growing problem and one way to combat it is to limit the amount of junk food and sugar offered in school lunches and in vending machines at school. Children should not be able to choose between the healthy and unhealthy option. Most likely they will choose candy, soda, and junk food over any healthy items offered. Childhood obesity is dangerous for a child's health and also makes them feel ostracized and they are often bullied. Removing these items from school lunches would be a big step in the right direction.
