Should we ban fast food near schools?

im overweight and i had terrible eating habits as a child... if u could throw it in the microwave it was dinner. now i eat healthy and i make my kids eat healthy. my daughter is 8 and loves fruit and vegetables and she gets water all day as well as 1 cup of 100% juice. no milk cuz it gives her a bellyache. she gets the last couple swallows of soda MAYBE 3 times a year. No fastfood. if we do she gets apples instead of fries, juice instead of soda, and chicken nuggets instead of hamburger. and we NEVER eat @ mcDs. 1 hr of tv a day max. and evryday the weather isnt rain or snow we go for a walk or to the park to play. if she says 'im bored' i say 'go outside and play'. The only time she gets to play video games is on car rides that last longer than an hour and she only plays for about 15-20 mon. (her choice) HER WEIGHT IS PERFECT! it isnt that hard ppl

No!!! For goodness sake. Leave people alone, let them make their own decisons. Quit making decisons for the public.

u no this is so close to communism that it is not funny when did we become a socialist county?why do we thank that we need control every one and every thing ,.why cant we just live our own life and mind your own dam buiness and stop telling people what theyneed to do

we should ban hysterical liberals who cant take care of themselves making decisions for us no matter what we think or want

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can understand how it may help with obesity, however no. What current and younger generations need is knowledge about what to eat, how much to eat, and when to eat. They need more playgrounds closer to school. Everyone, especially kids, need to go play more and move!

No , I don't think we should ban fast food restaurants near schools. I think we should focus on teaching self control and positive healthy choices .

I know for a fact that fastfood is more expensive near schools. I don`t eat it myself,but have teens. A mile down the block or two is cheaper.

we should ban people who wear ties from being in, near, around or allowed to talk about schools. Apparently ties restrict proper blood flow to the brain thus causing irrational thought patterns and poor judgement resulting in a host of stupidity like this study; hundreds of useless regulations, programs that divide us into politically expedient "labels", keep our youth ignorant and citizens impoverished.

Thank you for supporting my slippery fongers, we should stop some of these congress persons who want to control us. We can make our own choices, that is why we are american persons,we have freedom of choice. The PTA of schools, should educate the parents about fast food. And for teens they will make the right choices. If your athlectic, you happen to eat fast food, it will slow them down, if they want to go to the olympics, they may rethink about what they are eating. That is what one of my granddaughters did.

The kids that eat free are in better health then the ones with money, just let all kids eat free, parents pay enough taxes , all children should eat free,

typical of the lunatic fringe protect you from yourself,take away the right to decide whats best for yourself take away the responsibility of freedom and replace it with the need of a big protector , banning crappy food in the government run school fine but once off school property i decide what i eat , wear ,my destination or who my assosiates are is my bussiness and something totally heretical in this day of the religion of we know better than you politics what my responsibilities i choose to take for my life

Fast food is not the problem...feeding it to your kids 3 times a day is the problem!

No, educate our children and quit trying to control everything

its not the clowns fault that your kid is fat~!!

Excuse my spelling. My fingers slip on the computer keys.

or what they or we can do ,we are so close to socialist country it is so not funny once u start letting it happen it is hard to stop .

Let me guess...Meeshell Obama's BIG behind is behind this right?

No they sure no't ban fast food in school in are round school because mother will no cook.

i think that having fast food once in a while is fine. also it brings jobs like for myself i work at dunkin doughnuts and make my lunch teach our kids control and neing healthy is mist important i vote no fast food is a treat not lunch or dinner everday. parents are just giving up i get a happy meal every couple of months for my four yeah old its happy time for us to go get greasy food when we eat healthy all the time and take out fast food from schools tooooooo.......
