My childrens school has banned them as they say they are bad for the children. I only ever use the low fat crisps but they are still not allowed. I think as part of a balanced diet then it should be up to the parents to decide.

It's not just crisps which are banned in UK schools. Any type of processed food is now banned. I think it may be a good idea because it will force parents and kids to pay more attention to what they eat BUT this will need to be reinforced by proper food education. Choosing products which are 'low fat ' and 'low sugar' doesn't necessarily mean that they are healthy . Low fat products in fact contain hydrogenated fats and free sugar products contain sweeteners - both are extremely unhealthy. Research suggests in fact that they are the main cause of cronic / metabolic diseases and are also related to diabetes, cardio-vascular diseases and obesity.

No, ban them everywhere else! Children are at school for a very short time each day so the crisps probably do the least damage there! Plus, if they can only get them at school it will be a pretty good incentive for them to enjoy going to school!

Yes - crisps are a treat, not a food substitute. Watch the young generation expand inevery direction - we are all going to have a problem some day when the NHS cannot cope with obesity and diabetes etc

All unhealthy foods should be banned in schools, these are what has now contributed to the UK being the fatest country in the EEC. Give kids this sh#t when they are young and they grow up thinking it,s normal to eat this every day. Then they come home sit in front of the telly, computer, and stuff even more of this rubbish down their necks. Talk about killing them with kindness.

No it should be up to each individual to what they eat not the school. Just about every child enjoys a bag of crisps they are fine as long as they are eaten in moderation.

they was at my primary school, they used to have a fruit tuck shop where u could get an apple, banana or orange. when i got to secondary school there used to be vending machines but they soon got rid of those and opened healthy snack bars.
i think kids should have the choice of what they want to eat, but a healthy option should be there too. maybe they should ration the bad food like crisps.

I believe that children should be able to pick and choose what they want to eat, certainly in secondary school. If they havent been taught about healthy eating by their parents by the time they go to secondary school , it really is a loosing battle. They have to choose the healthy option themselves

Diabetes is usually treated through a combination of diet (low sugar), exercise and medications/insulin. Milder cases can be controlled with just diet an/or exercise while more severe cases require meds or insulin as well.
