I do not agree with the idea that fast food should be taken out of school cafeterias. People argue that this amount of calories intake is not healthy. They want to take it out of the school cafeterias. This is not a good idea.
Kids who buy the lunches in the cafeteria don't have many choices. There might be only one thing they can have for a main dish or vegetable. Then they can choose something from the fast food menu as a change. If they can't choose, they might eat more of it outside. Plenty of kids buy only junk food for lunch. These options are available as a cheap substitute to food they may not be able to afford. Kids need to eat something "fatty" sometimes as it allows them to feel happy and less stressed for a bit.
Even though fatty food has some sugar in them, they are still better than other things like old spoilt food. I think it is better for kids to at least to take their calories intake from fast food rather than not eating at all. Some kids just can't afford other menu options.
