Some studies also suggest that an initial positive emotional response to advertising can make a product taste better. This is called the “expectancy theory” and is based on the idea that the best indication that you will actually like a product is if you expect to like the product. Case in point: In one study, Coke drinkers liked the taste of a cola beverage more when it was presented in a cup with a Coke logo as compared to a plain cup. Researchers have even shown that expectancies about the effect of an energy drink affect our physiological responses—including blood pressure, physical responsiveness, and mental acuity—even if we only thought we consumed the energy drink.

There are a lot of junk food at school cafeterias. However, that is means that schools are able to sell chocolate, high fructose juices, chips, or any other junk food that can make kids gain weight quickly and become unhealthy. Schools should think about kids and how to make them healthy not fat. Kids do not need to eat any unhealthy foods. Therefore, if schools ban these kinds of foods, kids will have a better chance at a better diet. Kids always need protein to play and be healthy. I think schools should be more careful about the food that they serve for kids. All schools should be making an effort to promoting healthy foods. If schools teach their students about healthy eating, they will begin to apply those lessons in their lives and have a better lifestyle. "Kids, Fast Food, Obesity - USDA.
