High school kids speak out on junk food policy

Hudson Woelk, 16, sophomore, Amityville High School

"Personally, I always eat junk food, but I'll eat whatever they give me. I think they should start making snacks healthier."

Crystal Cortes, 18, senior, Amityville High School

"It's a good thing and it's a bad thing. Either way you go, we'll find junk food. It's starting to be healthier in school now, everything is whole wheat. I'm a senior anyhow, I've only got five months left."

Shanice Moore, 17, junior, Amityville High School

"That's dumb. It's good to sell snacks so people don't have to leave school to get food. Not everybody has health problems."

Josh Kassen, 17, senior, Massapequa High School

"For the fundraisers, I don't see why not. Inside the school, maybe keep it a little healthier. But it won't really affect us because we have off-campus lunch."

Jenna Fratello, 15, sophomore, Massapequa High School

"It would definitely help. Having [junk food] there is contrary to what the health classes are teaching. Everybody buys it, of course, because it's there."

Chris Valenti, 16, junior, Massapequa High School

"I feel like you should be able to drink whatever you want at school. If not, I won't be able to stay awake."
