NCB Now: Our shout!

Should school vending machines and tuck shops sell more healthy foods?

"Yes. It's all chips and burgers in my school." - Sarah, 17, Buxton

"Definitely, but it's important to ensure that the food is appealing." - Ayoush, 17, London

"I think it is a good idea. Most of the food available is unhealthy so there should be a good mixture including healthy foods." - Lauren, 17, Weston-Super-Mare

"Yes, because I think it is good for children and other people to make them eat more healthy." - Idris, 15, East Ham

"Yes, but the option of chocolate and less healthy snacks should be available too. Young people educated about healthy eating should be able to make the choice for themselves." - Emily, 15, Derbyshire
