the school lunch as they know it today. Astonishing! Appetizing! Delightful! Heavenly! Those are words students will describe school lunch after there is a greater variety of food. Numerous students throw away food they refuse to eat or care for because it is disgusting and disturbing. If someone collected all the food being thrown away, they would end up with more food in the trash over what is being consumed. Enhanced food variety will have students consume what is served for lunch before throwing

They get up, throw the barely-touched food away, and walk to class just as hungry as they were before they sat down.

healthier school lunch menu, which would eliminate some of the students favorite cafeteria foods. Although people think that changing the lunch menu to a healthier menu is a good thing, however this is not true. The food might be healthier but what difference does it make if no one's eating it. Think about it, most students would stop eating, the school makes money off of lunch, and it helps keep parents' happy, sounds pretty good to me. I speak for most kids when I say don't change the lunch menu.
Schools have a number of items to choose from for lunch every single day, they can range from pizza, to burritos. If you have been at a particular school for a while than you could get bored and tired of the same items every other day.

School Lunch Changing to a healthy and new lunch menu would be very beneficial. Eating healthy not always the easy choose. Even though the old food chooses are the favorites, the new chooses are just better for you. When you eat food that is better for you, you feel better too.

All of the children that live in America are entitled to a free public education. A lunch is provided that costs a reduced fee for those who attend a public school. Every day, thousands of kids attend school and mindlessly eat this lunch. A lunch that is full of frozen, processed foods that all share the same unpronounceable chemicals in their ingredient list. I personally believe that if schools started to add more natural, fresh, whole foods into their lunches it would be helpful to our societies
Lunch was the best time for me during school, you get to eat food, talk to your friends without teachers yelling at you, or simply do anything you want. I spent most of my time sitting with all ten of my friends and mutual friends. I always never got much food from the hot lunch, and never brought food from home either. Lunch was either at 11:03 or 12:21 depending on your grade, I had lunch at 12:21. The class before lunch which was from the 11:03 to 12:21 always felt like the longest because you’re
a problem outside of school during school lunch that you had to address but you couldn’t?

amongst high school students, is whether students should be allowed to leave the cafeteria and school campus for lunch. At high school age, students are usually driving and have a job, allowing money to be provided to them.

Here are just a few more convincing reasons as to why students
inside food court. However, lunch time is an important meal, and it should be spent the way students like. Whether it is a McDonalds hamburger, or a Panera bread salad special, the students should have the freedom to choose.

students may be allergic to certain food items on the lunch menu. Therefore if the school lunch is going to have more healthier foods and more variety they need to learn information from students on what they will like to eat and what they are allergic to also to prevent any hazards.

planning to change to a new and healthier lunch menu. This may eliminate some lunches that the students actually like.
