---Should junk food be banned from high school vending machines?

I think junk foods should not be banned from high school vending machines because junk food can not only be described as chips, sodas and pastries It can be described as hamburgers and pizzas. An important part of school is not only about learning but also as well as making smart choices and picking through "junk foods" is a good ALTERNATIVE for teens. Banning junk food does not teach teens how to make healthy choices it simply removes their options. Banning junk foods is not a very good STRATEGY to teach teens how to start eating healthy. Even though adult worry about kids with obesity issues and other diseases they shouldn't ban junks foods from kids now. In PREVIOUS there have been kids who can't control themselves. But if their peers help htem they can become more and more motivated towards making smart choices. Teens can make progress not by banning their junk foods but by letting them know what their choices are.
