Many folks would like
to bring their own snacks
and beverages to venues
such as theaters and sports
events, but the owners
usually don’t allow this.
The main reason, the
owners say, is that they
make most of their
money from food con-
cessions, and letting
people bring their own
munchies would put
them out of business.
However, nutritionists
warn that not only is
concession food over-
priced, it’s unhealthy.
What do you think?

What vendors offer is
all junk food, and more
people want to eat
healthier foods.

Until venue owners
drop prices, I will support people bringing
their own snacks.

Bringing your own
snacks is cheaper
and you can have
more of what
you want.

Theaters and sporting
venues would have to
generate more revenue
by raising ticket prices
and parking fees.

Businesses need that
money as part of their
profit margins.

Business owners own
the venue and should be
able to conduct their
business as they see fit.
