Pupils’ take-away lunch warning
The main points of this article are that students are eating junk food because it’s cheaper, faster, and tastes better than school food and it does no good to ban fast food on campus because students just go off campus to get food. There has been a series of initiatives to make the food better, nutritional and more appealing but, schools need to face it, their food just doesn’t taste good and it’s ridiculously expensive. For HTHMA the lunches are $4.50 for a little amount that flies sometimes crawl over and bruised fruit. I see why kids would rather buy something from a chain restaurant than the school lunch system. Mr. Balls supports “stay-on-site” and says that this will help support healthy eating.

This article might affect my candidate because he is heavily involved in education and if elected wants to really get into education. Eliminating the department of education and involving prayer into the school curriculum are only part of his plan to make education better. Since he is so involved I think that he would ban fast foods around schools because they are a serious health problem. This would affect his campaign because some people might oppose this and would go against him in the long run.
My candidate’s likely response to this is that we need to put into effect all the restrictions on fast food so that are children are all healthy because he is really a goody two shoes when it comes to education because he has voted for prayer in school and he wants to really install religion into the school system.
