I believe that selling healthy food from the tuck shop will not be that much of a good idea. I mean yes healthy food will make you strong, fit, happy all that stuff but 10-13 year old students would rather choose something “unhealthy” I know it sounds bad but, students these days just don’t really care about their own body structure that much as adults do. From this point of view students will be not buying healthy food from their school cafeteria which will lead us to bankruptcy. Well maybe we could just sell food/snacks that are unhealthy but put something beneath it like a carrot or some sort of vegetable for us kids to be tricked by you adults and never realize it ;)
Research shows that ⅓ of kiwi kids are overweight. Based on my research marketing products with pinky rainbow unicorn front covers are to attract the eyes of children and the not adults, That’s why most of us intend to buy those muesli bars covered with a layer of icing and those jelly stringy objects we love to eat, Instead of the 3 kg mandarins and the 6 for $1 apple offer on the other isle of the supermarket we sometimes still choose the other way around.
For this reason I might have proven how bad and unhealthy lollies us kids eat and maybe diabetes or high blood will be on our way, But we only become children once and those are things we have to live with, Selling healthy food on the tuck shop will make that cafeteria line deserted, In other words selling an equal amount of unhealthy food and healthy food on the cafeteria would be a very good idea so people could have more of a choice and no one will be having those kind of funny problems.

Good Morning Keanne can I just say that you are posting some awesome work here and I really love your dedication to keeping your blog updated. In regards to this article, I must say you have raised a really valid point. Kids don't like to eat healthy food (its boring and lame), they love the taste of brightly coloured sugar, and preservatives. If we took this away from the tuck shop there may well be a loss of income for the school. I would love to see if you could find some research to help prove you are right. Great article Keanne really makes the reader think. Ka Pai e hoa
