Should Food Be Banned on the Subway?
Currently, some cities are considering a food banon subways, which has sparked heated discussion.Some people say food should be banned because ofthe trash and rats they attract. And, garbage fromdiscarded food can cause track fires. Beyondsanitary and mechanical concerns, food can also cause fights, as was discovered last week byone passenger who criticized a woman eating steamed stuffed bun on the subway.
However, some others are opposed to the idea. They argue that people like eating in thetrain in the morning because they don't have enough time to eat at their houses orrestaurants. Sometimes that may be the only time or meal a transit rider may be able to eatespecially when traveling long distances. Besides, there are people, for example diabetics, whodo require food at various times to maintain blood-sugar levels.
Personally, I'm against the ban because of the huge inconvenience it would cause tocommuters, and the expense involved in enforcing it. Still, I believe we should have a littlecommon courtesy. I think we all have responsibility to try to treat our subway system andfellow riders with respect, and that extends to food as well.
