Eight times out of ten when I walk through the lunch line and get my serving of vegetables, I look down at a shriveled up revolting mess of green goo. This mass of either under or overcooked vegetables is inedible. If this is what nutrition is, I don’t want to be apart of it. Sadly this is how many students feel nationwide. Sure many people such as Michelle Obama have tried to reform the school lunch menu, but the schools don’t seem to follow the regulations posted.

Suddenly I was not very hungry anymore and I was kind of grossed out, but I had to eat it because I felt bad that I made my mom make all that food for us again. As I put that spoon full of Jell-O in my mouth I instantly regretted it because I was just gagging everywhere. I left the food and ate something else not thinking much about it.

This problem needs to be solved. School is a place of learning, and what lunch time is teaching is that it is ok to eat unhealthy food. When I went to public school I was revolted by the disgusting food. The pizza was horrid, the chicken sandwiches were wet, and the salad tasted like dirt and not even good dirt, the dirt with dead thing underground. Honestly
Based on Tom Vilsack about a third of American children are overweight or obese. I think that candy and soda should be banned from school because it is unhealthy for you and there is a higher chance of getting obese. For example, if all children drink soda and are always eating candy then they are going to end up having an unhealthy and an unbalanced diet.

Conflicts arose between the culture I was engaged in at school and the culture that my family kept at home. I typically had gimbap, Korean seaweed rice rolls, while my friends ate ham and cheese sandwiches and chips for lunch and spoke about how much money the tooth fairy gave them the night before, a fantasy figure my parents did not know about.
