The Real Problem With Lunch At School
It is said that school lunch is healthy and organic. They feed us this “healthy food” that is actually good to me in my opinion because i’ll eat anything. To others, they think of it as nasty, leftover slop. I have noticed though, that most lunch meals are leftovers. They are leftovers from days before. Maybe they just made the same thing twice for that week, all fresh. To us though we don’t see the food being prepared and when we see the same thing being served from a yesterday, we think, “ewww”.
Especially when the lunch ladies use the same hands and gloves to pick up all the food. They should be a little more sanitary. . It is told that students tend to learn better when they have consumed a healthy, well balanced meal. I guess that may be true if the students actually ate the food. I’ve seen that many students tend to throw their lunch away. Yes, they learn and can focus better, but what about the ones that go without? Most would rather have a not-so- healthy meal and have all students eat, rather than continuing to give us this soggy bland food that people throw away. So, with that being said, it leads up to one thing; nobody is learning and/or focusing better when they don’t eat the healthy meal that was prepared. They’re better off with a bag of chips and a sandwich on white bread. I get it that if the students don’t like what was prepared, they are given the option to bring something they will eat from home. Although, this may be difficult for those who have financial issues. It is obvious that if you’re hungry enough, you’ll eat anything, but when the food looks like cancer, it isn’t a shock some would rather starve. The people that do eat the school food and don’t have a problem with it are almost sure to go home with stomach aches. Take me for example. Another thing that doesn’t put a positive side to school food is the expired milk. I’ve personally witnessed that my friend had a four day old milk. She was trying to wash down the healthy substances that were being served until a different funck taste had filled her mouth. Not only is the milk be expired, a problem.
What about the people who cant even have dairy? So if its not the food they eat, they cant have a drink to satisfy their thirst either. I vote that they add water or a juice to the menu. All in all, i feel like they should just bust out the good food. The food that will make u cake pounds if you eat a lot of it. Students will me more interested in lunch and won’t waste the food. Students would go to class full and satisfied. I bet michelle obama has a strong amount of hate from all the fatties out there. I feel that if the school is going to spend money anyways, why not spend it one the savoring flavored good stuff that people enjoy to eat? Besides, it’s not about what you eat. It’s about how much you consume at a time.
