Argument #3

Claim:  Focusing gym classes on physical fitness and good health is a better solution than eliminating all junk food from schools.

Evidence:  A school district in Naperville, Illinois, that focused gym classes on teaching students physical fitness, health, and wellness instead of sports skills found that only three percent of its ninth graders were overweight. 

Warrant: Although some may say that focusing gym classes on teaching sports skills would be more beneficial for students, but I believe that students need to to focus more on physical fitness, health, and wellness. As you can see, in doing so, a school in Naperville only had three percent of its ninth graders overweight as opposed to 97 percent that wasn't. Teaching kids about health and wellness doesn't only benefit their diet choices, but their knowledge of physical education as well that will continue to help them in the future.
