Junk food in and around schools in the city of Delhi could soon be history. The Delhi High Court on Wednesday issued notices to various government departments and agencies following an NGO's petition that sought a ban on the sale of junk food and carbonated drinks in and within a 500-yard radius of educational institutions.

But today, with the rise of eat-aways like Mc Donald, KFC, Taco bell, pizzhut and a whole lot of other junk food items which will be available to kids near their school is leading up to a very unhealthy nutrition for them, So its hightime that kids &  parents understand these things and avoid it. So, how can we avoid kids eating more and more junk foods??

Having a strict watch on their eating habits

idea posted by Disha Roy Lecturer, St Xaviers College

I think parents should have a strict watch on their kids eating habits, Junk food is the no.1 reason worldwide for kids to become obese, also junk food causes. When kids or anybody have a sumptuous junk meal rich in oil, one feels drowsy and fail to concentrate. Over a sustained periods of junk food eating, blood circulation drops because of fat accumulation. Lack of vital oxygen, nutrients and proteins particularly can stale your grey ( brain) cells temporarily. So you see what junk food causes to your kids.....so, have a strict watch on their eating habits, you yourself be the role model for them, so that they can look up to you regarding this.

Providing healthy alternates

Every junk food is replaceable with healthy nutritious alternative. Only that one needs to put in some effort into knowing and learning how to about it. Forcing children against may never work but providing better replacement and reason may work.

Allow Moderation & Occasional consumption of Junk Food to children

idea posted by nagesh rao Freelancer, Freelancer

Banning these shops may help to certain extent Disha, but cannot stop once for all unless parents to stop packing these junks as snacks for children to eat at the recesses period at School. Schools should take initiate to check the Lunch/snack boxes & curb the hobbit. Schools can provide with the parents consent & allow to inspect quality & quantity of the food by a parent rep.authorized by the PTA(Parents Teachers Association).

Most of the parents have no time to prepare snacks/Lunch at home for school going children,whatever the reason maybe.provide money to bigger children & pack lunchbox with cakes&pastries/biscuits/wafers & chocolates for the younger ones due to the time constraints.

Make a hobbit of & carrying homemade food for yr self, children will automatically follow the lead. Once in while/occasionally allow children to have these Junks on with limited quantity. Trick is that do-not prepare at home,even if you do, limit the quantity & do not stock.

Avoiding totally Junks make children to get attract to these Junks & start having by way of avoiding parents notice and prone to Diseases. Nothing like that if School itself can provide the healthy snacks for children. So that child one carries the home made snack will not be influenced by their peers who are carrying the said Junk snacks,of-course majority of them do carry Junks.

Adding glamour to the healthy alternatives

The reason that junk food attracts kids is due to their glamour. If this glamour quotient is added to traditional healthy food kids will be attracted to those as well..
