Question

If you are developing an argument in favor of removing soda from school vending machines, which combination of resources would be most helpful in supporting your position?

Answer 1

Replacing the junk food in the vending machines with healthier choices makes the most sense for my school. Students would have access to the snacks when they wanted them, and it wouldn't cost any extra money for the school to make the change. Some of the food items might cost a little bit more, but that will be good because it will help the school with fund-raising for school activities, and it might stop kids from snacking too much during the day. The healthy snacks are also good for student health overall, and this change may help reduce childhood obesity numbers.

Answer 2

A. A study showing lowered rates of obesity in schools that have removed soda and data showing the amount of sugar in soda as compared to other drink options
