  Case: Athletic students?
I have seen many students focusing on diets (keto, paleo, etc) and their body image while trying to say they're aiming for health and athleticism. Where does this come into play in an educational classroom? Should this kind of talk be banned, or utilized?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I personally think it is amazing when our youth is health conscious. In this day and age there is so much competition in sports. Our students have so much pressure put on them trying to earn sports scholarships. I worry about them over lifting, or exerting themselves to hard for long periods. With the health diet and such I would not ban the conversation at all. I would just have a rule that the conversation cannot disrupt class or instruction time. There is way worse things they could be doing or talking about.

Comments: I agree with this, as long as it's an age appropriate group talking about it and none of the decisions they are making are unhealthy or dangerous the it should be allowed.

Comments: I absolutely agree, even if their enthusiasm can be somewhat overwhelming. The fact that they have chosen to be more health-conscious, even if only for the sports, is a good thing. Just reminding the students to not let it interfere with their work/the class is important, but most students understand that.

Comments: I agree that it is a good thing for students to be health conscious and have discussions with classmates. I also think that it would be better if these discussions could take place in a Physical and Health Education class so students can learn about factual information related to nutrition and health habits.

Comments: I agree that it should not get banned, teachers should never try to alienate themselves from students. dieting isn't unhealthy or obsessive by definition, and the teacher should try and help lead the discussion than just ignore it or ban it and hope it doesn't escalate

Comments: I think it is important to simply make sure they are not disrupting class with this talk, rather than try banning the subject. If you hear something that seems factually wrong, invite them to have a conversation with you at a set time where you can correct any big misunderstandings or ask about where they get their information from.

Comments: I would have to agree. I think that promoting good health is important. However, it doesn't really have any place in the classroom unless it is relevant. I also think that it is good to pay attention to students overall health and wellbeing. Discussion of diets and stuff like that doesn't seem like any cause for concern, but when you notice a student partaking in behaviors where they seem to have unhealthy obsession with body image, I think that is the time to seek outside help.

Comments: I agree with this solution. If this type of talk is not against a certain person or body type, then I think it is a great thing. It is just important to be aware if it ever becomes something used to shame others for their eating style or health.
