Some people think students should study the science of food and how to prepare it. Others think that school time should be used in learning important subjects. Discuss both views and give your opinion?

Give reasons for your answer, and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

From past until today, nutrition has always been an important and fundamental issue. Some people advocate that pupils should be educated about food and how it is prepared. However, other people think that lessons in school should include more essential subjects such as learning mathematics and history. In this essay, I will discuss both views and eloborate why I agree with the first opinion.

On the one hand, in this constantly changing and developing time, pupils' families may work very long hours and may not always follow what their children eat. Therefore, students eat junk foods when they are hungry. If pupils are informed enough about how ro cook or prepare food at school, they will try to eat more healthy meals. For instance, a pupil who eats chips before being informed, they will consume adequate amounts of protein, carbonhydrates and fats after being informed. Besides this, if students learn only sciences such as math, history or geography, they will tend to get bored and even try to scape school. Studying the science of food and learning “how to prepare” it will be more enjoyable than other lessons for the students.

On the other hand, some people believe that parents should prepare meals of their children and children do not need to worry about what they eat at school. Students should not think about this topic because there are more important subjects such as learning more significant scientific issues. Moreover, the proponants of this idea support that students need to learn different languages, mathematics, social topics and other sciences to be able to enter a high quality university in a department of science rather than in the major of food and how to prepare it.

To sum up, people who agree with the second opininon forget that being healthy and consuming a balanced diet are more essential than learning geometry and mathematics. What is more, student who eat junk food regularly cannot think very well and focus on their lessons and subjects.
