In regards to whether or not we should ban sodas and fast food on the campus of State University, I disagree with this action. I do not think that we should ban fast food or sodas because people are entitled to what they want to eat. By prohibiting fast food and sodas, we would outrage some of the students and they would feel some of their rights are taken by limiting their number of food sources they are entitled to. Even though the obesity rate is high in the USA, people still have the right to consume anything that they want to. Whether or not they know the consequences of what they are putting into their bodies is not our problem, but we can’t take away from them. Life is all about choices. They choose …show more content…
If you were to take away the Krispy Kreme, Pizza Hut, Chick-Fil-A, and Starbucks, it would only hurt the university because there would not be a steady income from the students who invest into the food places. If you were to replace all these food options with healthy restaurants, I guarantee you that the income would go down because most students don’t like that. In business, it’s all about what the customers want. Regardless of whether its good for them or not, that’s up for the students to decide on. However, you can’t make them eat healthy food. Either way, they will get what they want. Whether that means going off campus, which will definitely take down income because the students will constantly go off campus to get their food, or having it available to them on campus, it will happen one way or another. One may pose the question of why Americans are getting bigger at such as fast rate. Why are people eating more and growing larger? For one thing, food is cheaper. (Buchholz,6). That’s why fast food places are thriving, because they know that most people cant afford the high-quality foods that are more expensive, so they lower their prices because they know that people will always come back, because its …show more content…
It is safe to say that students want to have all eating options accessible at their fingertips. By taking out vending machines, and fast food spots, students will be outraged. In the article “Fast Food and Soft Drink Corporations Should Be Banned From Public Schools”, we can see that it doesn’t work. When students are given limited options, they will seek other resources regardless if they are not available to them on campus. If you were to ban this, then students would just go to other schools, which would definitely lower the enrolment rate. Once this happens, then you will need to seek other ways to make students pay. This can all be avoided if we just allow students to be able to eat and drink what they want
