A regulated lunch is when a school ban a certain type of food. This means that when a child i seen eating that food, it will be confiscated. The school cafeteria is also banned for selling that particular food.
By doing this, people are hoping to get kids to eat healthier food.
A pro of this idea is that kid would obviously benefit from this. Many parents are very busy in the morning so they usually throw anything edible at hand into their children's lunches. Usually stuff like candy and chips. There was one little girl whose lunch was exactly that!
But a negative result might also happen. This setup is almost like a prison in a way. Students may want to rebel and go outside to eat instead. The government would not like that and probably wabt those restaurants to change.The students may also think that "Eating healthy foods will keep them healthy, why is exercise needed?" If these kids stop exercising, this will be one of the factors that will cause them to go obese.
In conclusion, I think that the school regulations should not be allowed. I think that it really is the families that should support kids to eat healthy by something as simple as a praise or a reward for the kid when they eat healthy foods. If kids enjoy eating healthy, this regulation is not really needed. But nobody is perfect, and it is completely normal to eat treat yourselves to eating hamburgers once in a while.

Good conclusion, but you should really read your post over because you have a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes. I also liked how you put the reasoning behind the definition.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm not very good at typing so that is why I made those mistakes! I'll try to do better next time!
ReplyDeleteThose were detailed and well done paragraphs. However,I did notice that there were some grammar mistakes. I really liked how you wrote the pros and cons so people would actually think what side they would want to choose while reading this. Well done
