Generally speaking, snacks like Doritos or muffins are okay in moderation; we’ve all heard that before. But it is true. And kids also deserve treats/rewards to help build good work habits (Hell, so do adults).
Giving kids unfettered access to junk food AND adults not stopping them (be it parents or teachers alike) is the real problem here. Kids need to be taught right from wrong, especially when it comes to making healthy decisions (especially with food).
Do they need Doritos? No. Should they occasionally have them? Sure, why not? They’re kids.

So, in other words, they do not need them at school. There are far better options for a small treat or reward, especially during the school day.
The problem is, even most adults don’t know what’s good for them. The government has been really good at dumbing down its populace over the years.
