First, junk food should be prohibited from being sold at the school canteen to improve student behavior. Smith (2005) argues that junk food has many additives that may cause behavioral problems such as lack of concentration and hyperactivity.

The program's answer also found that junk food often contains chemical additives that could cause behavioral problems.
