School lunch
“School lunch” many of the student here at grandview high school complain about it on a daily. School lunch has always been known by how not good it is and also by there not being that many selections of food to choose from.But the reason as to why the food is the way it is , is because of michelle obama's Let's move campaign that stretched around the whole country. The let's move program came out in 2010 when michelle obama had just came out with the idea. What the program consist of is students at school get healthy foods that are also good for the child, also another part of the program is that families at home can get affordable foods at the stores because most of the food that are the healthy are the expensive foods but all the junk food is very affordable that's why many people just rather get the junk food then the healthy foods. But what the first lady did was reduce the prices of the food lower that way they were affordable. Also another part of the program is that children would get at least 60 min of exercise.
So what this program ended up doing to school food is change the food completely.Ever since the program started it has gone around the whole country so now in some schools there are snacks such as fruits or vegetables given after school. Also now you have to get at least one fruit or vegetable when getting lunch.The lunch and also breakfast are not fatty foods but they are healthy foods that are complex. But the problem with these foods are that the students don't enjoy this food. Most of the time they serve the same foods for a period of time. Student will get tired of that for example our school they always serve pizza and something else but they always have pizza. Today the school lunch did not have pizza surprisingly but yet the lunch wasn't the best and not many students did not eat. See the thing with this food is that it's supposed to be healthy but yet the students wont eat it because they don't like it. So now that making students not eat but go off campus and get junk food.
I asked students what their opinion was on the school lunch, Cecilia arciga had said “They can do way better and give us better food because everybody just gets the food and throws it away. Also many students complain about the food and i believe we dont get enough nutrients.” I then asked her what can the school food can improve on? “They can change the type of food they give us, like they always give us a greasy pizza that they think is healthy.”
Many other students have the same opinion as cecilia has and believe they should change the variety of food we have here at the school.
But what do you think should school food change or not?
