Should Chocolate Be Banned for Children?
English Persuasive Text

Should chocolate be banned for children? The answer is quite simple, No, no chocolate should not be banned!Why, I hear you ask? There are numerous reasons but today i will just focus on three. Chocolate productions boost the economy,Chocolate has health benefits and a chocolate ban would diminish individuals' freedom.

Firstly, chocolate plays an important role in the economy. Chocolate is eaten daily in many different forms( bars, desserts, drinks). Thousands of people work in restaurants, millions of people work in factories to make chocolate for children to eat so imagine the problems they will have if chocolate gets banned, they will all have to find a new job. It will be the next new economic crisis. Do you really want that to happen? The government is already juggling enough financial problems. Do you really trust the government to deal with another one?

Secondly, the health benefits of chocolate are indisputable. Chocolate is full of calcium. As we all know many children have calcium deficiencies. Furthermore, research has shown that dark chocolate can cure depression and lower cholesterol. Dark chocolate also helps in keeping your heart healthy. Don't believe me? I only speak from experience so i will tell you a story. My grandfather had heart problems and had to go to the doctors. When he got there his doctor told him to eat two pieces dark chocolate a day and believe it or not he felt better after a month of eating it. People still have the freedom of buying suicide products such as cigarettes and alcohol and now you saying you should ban chocolate when it is good for you. Still thinking of banning chocolate?

Finally, freedom what brings us together. Imagine a time where the government decides everything that you should decide such as deciding what you eat, drink and wear. Banning chocolate is just the thin end of the wedge.

Ladies and gentlemen, not only does chocolate benefit your health, chocolate also creates

    I would have to disagree about banning all asbestos because some asbestos fibres are harmless. People and workers have more risk of developing a disease in 20 to 40 years if their handling the asbestos fibres and inhaling the fibres. Asbestos fibres, like chrysotile fibres, aren't harmful to people until countless fibres are discharged in the air. Now, asbestos fibres are made in a solid matter that doesn't cause it to spread into the air. Chrysotile is one fibre that is less harmless compared to amphiboles.…

    No I personally do not think that the government should be allowed to have the power to regulate and control what we eat everyday or what is in the food that we eat. I believe this because if they ban all unhealthy foods then we could never have a treat such as a candy bar, chocolate cake, or even just a pie occasionally. Also they might ban someone’s favorite food. Another reason is that it is perfectly fine to have junk food and sweets as long as you have them in moderation and don’t go and eat a ton of sweets at once. I don’t think that it is right for people to tell you what you can and can’t eat; nobody should be allowed to have that much power. Also people can eat healthy or not by their choice and the government shouldn’t interfere with it. Also if they control what they eat they could make it very expensive and there would be nothing that anyone could do about it. I do however believe that the government should put up signs and facts about the negative effects of food like McDonalds or other fast food places so that people will know and be aware of what they are eating and putting into their bodies along with the consequences of doing so. Another reason is that this is supposed to be free country and not a dictator ship or a community like in The Giver where they control every little thing that you do or eat. Also in America we have the freedom of choice like choice of religion, how to dress, what jobs we want to have, and who we can and can not talk to and it would not be right if they started controlling those things starting with what we can and can not eat and consume into our bodies. What the government is trying to do which is to eat healthy is a good thing but the way they are trying to do it by controlling what we eat is completely ridiculous because if they can do that and say it is for a good cause then they could just control every little thing that makes us different and individual just by saying that they are doing it for a good cause…

    Presently, children in Los Angeles Schools are being denied chocolate milk due to an unhealthy food ban. According to an L.A. Times article, chocolate milk being served in Los Angeles public schools has as much sugar as a cup of regular Coke (MacVean, par. 9). Such findings have resulted in chocolate milk, which accounts for more than half of the milk consumed in Los Angeles public schools, being banned on July 1, 2011. So, why are Los Angeles Schools and other schools in the nation enforcing unhealthy food bans?…

    The introduction of prohibition in the United States meant people could not manufacture or consume alcohol. Alcohol was banned by the government for obvious reasons, alcohol harms the body. Use of drugs without prescription is illegal and harms one’s health. Junk foods and soda pop are harmful as well. Yet we have never had prohibition on these food and soda items even though these food items affect public health. According to Yale University professor of psychology and public health, Kelly Brownell, “As a culture, we’ve become upset by the tobacco companies advertising to children, but we sit idly by while the food companies do the very same thing. And we could make a claim that the toll taken on the public health by a poor diet rivals that taken by tobacco”.…

    Candy and soda should be banned from schools, since they are the main reason ⅓ of American children are overweight or obese. Unhealthy food keeps getting popular day-by-day. Even though soda and candy taste great, there are a lot of negative effects that would be going to end up getting to the person who eats an excessive amount of it. For example, the person will get obese, they have the risk of suffering from certain cancers and chronic diseases such as: diabetes, heart disease, asthma, and high blood pressure.
