Read the article and leave a comment. What do you think? Do you think schools should follow Sick Kids Example and stop selling unhealthy food, too? Should school cancel pizza and or hamburger lunches? Why or why not? They will no longer be serving Whoppers at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto, after the fast-food restaurant closed down in the food court there last Saturday. Canada’s largest hospital for children made the choice to close down the Burger King because of its unhealthy options such cheeseburgers and French fries, which are high in fat and salt. The hospital is meant to offer healthy food choices for the visitors and staff. A doctor at Sick Kids named Vishal Avinashi started a Facebook group called, “Burger King should NOT be allowed to operate at Sick Kids Hospital.” There are 265 members in the group, and more are joining each day. Avinashi tried to raise awareness of the messages that the hospital is sending by offering unhealthy options. He says the hospital is, “setting the wrong example” by allowing fast-food restaurants to sell unhealthy food there. Since child obesity rates are at an all-time high in Canada, having an unhealthy, fast-food restaurant didn’t match the hospital’s goals of fostering healthy eating. Even though Burger King was closed down, the food court at Sick Kids still offers options such as Pizza Pizza. On the Facebook group, members are now pushing for these unhealthy options to also be closed down as well. Taken from: http://teachkidsnews.com

For me they should let that sick children can eat hamburger or pizza because if sick children and there parents want to eat hamburger for me is wright, but I would put a limit of hamburgers per person and of how many time. Also Burger-King should have something that make it a little bit less un-healthy but if they want only in the hospital.
I think that the school needs to keep on selling hamburgers and pizzas not because I like them, I like them but each one of us needs to be responsable of what we eat. I think that is a good excesice, each one needs to know when to stop.
Hi Miss Ale, I think that schools shouldnt cancel fast food but also that the children have to know what they are eating and dont eat to many of it. You need a little bit of fat but not to much because you can get fat or some worse things like getting cancer. In hospitals they should cancel fast food like the school did in Canada because if you are sick it will be worse to eat a hamburger. And if they dont, at least give them very little a month. They could do healthy hamburgers and pizza by not putting to many oil and salt so this way they could eat more and i would be like eating a regular meal.
Wow¡
poor children, I wouldn't cancel hamburgers nor pizza at school but maybe we could eat less. But its right not to let sick people eat junk food if they want to get cured¡¡ But pizza and hamburger and all junk food is very good¡ I mean not healthy but delicious¡ But if we eat a little bit of everything nothing will be to bad.
PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT THEY EAT OR SELL¡¡¡¡

Hi miss Ale!!!
for me the children have to eat that. for me the fathers hace to buy them for us. But also the humberger is unhelthy and we are going to be all fat and we were going to be round balls if we eat all day Maconalds and burger king. Good by miss Ale!!!
I think sick people can't eat hamburgers or pizza.
COMON SENCE!!! PLEASE A SICK PERSON CAN'T EAT HAMBURGERS(or at least if that sickness is a light diet of cource)...
I think schools can sell pizza end hamurgers but NOT TO SICK PEOPLE.
sorry if it was a little agresive...
For me they dont have to cancel the hamburgers or pizza I think that we have to be independant and eat what we want but with a limit of yourself.
P.D studing for the presentation!

Hi Miss Ale!!
I think I'll say the same thing as many did. For me, they should not stop selling them, because they are only the sellers. We are the guilty ones for buying it. Thanks we live in an independent world and we are free for our choices we are not obligated to eat it. So I think it´s our choice, our decision of doing everything we do. If we eat it we are almost responsable for many things of what may happen next. I always hear people telling us: Well, if he would through himself to the river, would you?
I think that question is a good one.
See you!!!!!
for me eat fast food it isnt so bad i eat it once a week. If you eat all days it will make you bad. you have to eat healphy for your body be ok. it is realy bad give fast food to sick children because it makes them very bad. you could make a big change if you it healphy
Hi Miss ale I think that schools shouldnt cancel hamburgers or pizzas because the kids like to eat that. But in other hand children just have to eat a little bit of facts because if you eat to much fact you will fat or like ariana said you can have cancer. They should not put to much oil. See you next week!

Hi Miss Ale
I think that the school shouldn´t cancel fast food, but we have to control our selves, because maybe we get sick when we eat to much pizza or humbugrers.
We have to eat what we want but we have to know that maybe afterwords is going to make us bad.
We can eat fast food but we also HAVE to eat healthy food, that it makes us better and gives us more energy.
We like very much pizzas and humburgers, and we are the ones who buy the fast food, it is not the school´s fault.
So I think like the rest.. I think that the school can sell fast food.
See you tomorrow.

Well thats deppending because some sick kids are bad of the stomach but also as Franco says Burger King should have some choices that are not so unhealthy, but there are some children here in school that really like when theres pizza and hamburgers and its okay because they are not sick but they dont have to eat like four they should eat less like maximum two and they have to eat regulary not 3 times a week of each but if people are sick and if they eat unhealthy things deppending what sickness they have. Cause if they have feaber i dont think a really bad thing will happen if they eat them but if they have a tummy ake they cant cause that will make them more sick!
Hello Miss Ale
I think that the school shouldn´t cancel fast food, but we have to control our selves,because may be we it a lot and we could have a tami-ake.
We can eat fast food but we also have too eat healthy food, that it makes us better and gives us more energy.There are also some healthy food that are rich.
So I think like the rest.. I think that the school can sell fast food.
I thik that if they give as fast food some days it won´t make us bad, yes if we eat it all days, for me we could have two or three days per week eating fast food (with self-control) and the other two eating healthy food.
See you tomorrow.

For me it haves to stay, not for the sick children only for the parents or the one who visits the sick people if he wants to eat he have in the Menu hamburger or pizza but for sick children not, they have limits.
Hi miss ale, I think that what marcos said is very true because each one of us needs to have a limit, so school needs to keep selling hamburgers and pizzas.
Ale schools should cancell that food because i know its not good but its a chain of the elementary food. What we should do is a balance in these foods
I think its a bad example of letting children have lots of unhealthy food.
They should put some rules like said franco a limit of food
Hello Miss Ale
I think that the school needs to keep on selling hamburgers and pizzas not because I like them, because evry body needs a little bit of something
No, i think that we dont have to abuse with hamburger or food like that
I think that they should keep on seling hamburger and french fries and pizza because if somebody wants to eat one,fine.but i also think they should put a limit on the food.
Hi miss Ale:
For me tht they cannot eat every day hamburgers and pizza, because some times its good to eat non healthy food, but every day is veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery bad. But if they are sick it is worst. They are sick, they need to eat healthy food. Tey are going to be wors if they eat that type of food. Perhaps they could put some times that fast food, but not for the sick people, mabye to there parents or for the people tht comes to visits.
I think that the school needs to have a healthy diet but on the other hand I think that id you puthamburgurs and pizza once two weeks it would be better because a healthy diet consists on proteins, nutrients, vitamines, AND FATS
what a good post!

Hi miss Ale I think schools can keep on selling pizza but the children that are sick obiously can not eat pizza nither hamburgers.
I think that schools shouldn´t cancel fast food but children can´t eat so much of it.You need very few fats but you can have some.We need to know when to stop, we should have a limit.
Hi Miss Ale, I think that schools shouldnt cancel fast food but also that the children have to know what they are eating and dont eat to many of it. You need a little bit of fat but not to much because you can get fat or some worse things like getting cancer.

They could do healthy hamburgers and pizza by not putting to many oil and salt so this way they could eat more.

I think they have to cancel the fast food because you can get thick. Is not healthy. The things that are not healthy are the more delicious
hi miss ale,
i think school has to sell pizza and hamburgers, but not because i like them. we all have to be responsible of what we eat. i think it is a good exercise!!
I think it is okay to let them eat hamburgurs and pizza but there has to be atime when they have to stop.
They also have to understand that if they eat too much it can be bad for them. Pizza is my favorite food and i love eating it but i know when i have to stop. Too much hamburgers and pizza can make you fat.In facebook i will try to join the no burger king group of 256 people.
Thank you Miss Ale for the graet news!!!
The school has to keep having hamburguers because in general we all like them....But we dont eat them all the time .....
see you
