Should it be illegal to sell junk food to children?

These children used their persuasive writing skills to write about junk food. Which side are you on?

What! You think it should be illegal to sell junk food to children! You disgust me.
I think it shouldn't be illegal to sell junk food to children because children are energetic and run around climbing trees. They can burn it off.
My second theory is that if it's not illegal the people that want it to be don't have to buy junk food.
Sugar tastes like heaven. Junk food should stay because if you are too skinny like me you need sugar.
Take that illegalinator!

Most people would agree that children should be able to buy junk food.
Kids should be able to eat junk food. When they've eaten they work out, so they don't get so fat that they'll pop! You have to do exercise if you eat junk food.
It's so yum that it's like little people crawling in your belly.
If you're thin don't worry, it's good to eat junk food.
Everyone should agree with me.

The people that think that junk food should be illegal for children to buy are crazy!
The first reason is that kids run off all the sugar, while adults just sit around.
The second reason is that you need junk food for your health. But you're just not allowed too much of it.
That's why I think that it should not be illegal for children to buy junk food.

Did they convince you? They certainly tried hard to beat me down with their arguments in class.
