Click the sentence from paragraph 9 in Passage 2 in which the author responds to a conflicting viewpoint.

“At schools that have implemented share tables, students share mostly fruit and milk, but they also often leave chips, nuts, crackers, and candy for others to pick up. Most share tables have restrictions. For instance, shareable food must be unpeeled, uncut, and wrapped. In some schools, though, these rules go further. Because of these strict rules, good food is still going into the trash. One worry is that cold food is being left out too long. A school in Wallingford, Connecticut, uses a donated refrigerator to store cold items. Schools may have more success at reducing waste if students are required to use share tables, rather than having an option to throw away food. Insisting on participation forces all students to think about the amount of waste they create and reduce it. Administrators and students are finding innovative ways to let students share safely, because everyone knows it’s best to avoid waste.”
