Explain Why Students Should Be Given Better School Lunches
Preamble:
When in the course of life events, students should be served better lunches at school. They sit for and pay attention for almost 8 hours and we’re not even served healthy or good looking food. Usually school lunches look disgusting and makes students not want to eat it. Most students who don’t eat the lunch go the rest of the school day with an empty stomach roaring all the time which causes students to be unfocused. This is why us students should be given better school lunch so we are more concentrated in school and not about how hungry we are.

Declaration of Student Rights:
I believe that us students should be given better lunches at school. Would you like to be fed what we are being fed? I mean it’s just foods that's stored somewhere

    How would a student feel if they knew that the USDA allowed the school to provide meals which could make them unhealthy, or even sick? Lunch, as most know, is a very important part of a student’s school day. The food eaten at lunch should provide enough energy to complete the school day as a focused, learning student, and, for some students, to get through after school activities such as athletics and clubs; however, it is being seen more and more often that this is not the case. Chatham County Schools needs to improve its school lunches because the quantity, quality, and cost ratios are inadequate for the success of their students.…

    Due to the fact that price exceeds quantity, students are refusing to eat. The National School Lunch Program claims to “provide nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to more than 31 million children each school day,” (National School Lunch Program 1) but do they mean it? Often times the factor of nutrition is questionable in the food provided in school lunches. An example being one day a student who does not possess the benefit of the National School Lunch Program’s free lunch decides to eat the so-called “nutritionally balanced food” (National School Lunch…

    I believe that high schools should have open lunches. Students should be able to leave the school grounds and go to a fast food restaurant, or, if they choose should at least be able to go outside and eat. Students need to have a small break from school during the day, even if they are outside, they still can take their minds off of school work for a while. Students need to have fresh air and adequate sunlight. Fresh air and sunlight is a proven fact to help students in their studies and it also helps the students concentrate more. I understand that the school staff would not like the fact that the students would be able to leave campus without supervision. Are not the students in high school? Should we not have the responsibility to be able…

    School lunches are a big part of our schools. They feed us every day and make sure we are full. They feed us food, but they don't feed us very healthy food. Parents have tried very hard to get that to change for their children. I think they should improve our lunches to make sure that kids are getting the food and nutrition they need.…

    the question, why can’t students leave school for lunch? There are so many other places school cafeteria food doesn’t even compare to. If they were allowed to leave, they would have more lunch options, become more independent, and gain more social experience with the real world. Schools wouldn’t have to make as many lunches for kids which would allow them to make them higher quality. Students should be able to leave school for lunch so that they can eat healthier and become more independent. If students were allowed to leave for lunch, they would be able to eat healthier, more nutritious lunches.It would also give them a chance to go home and make any meal they want. Some people like school lunches but I’m sure that chicken every day for a…

    Imagine this, you walk into the cafeteria to find the smell of spaghetti, gross! You get a tray anyway. That's all that they have so it`s your only option. You only push the mushy noodles around the tray then throw it away once your lunch period is over. The next period you hear your stomach growl and wish you could have had another option at lunch. If schools provided more lunch options this problem would happen less or even disappear completely.…

    Healthier School Lunches

    Another reason cafeterias should start serving healthier food is that junk food does not give kids the energy needed to stay focused in school or the power to participate in sports. “The cafeteria must offer produce, dairy, protein and grain, but three groups constitute a full meal, so many students leave behind the fruits and vegetables” (Martinez, 1). Lunch is right in the middle of the day, if you eat fatty or sugary foods, it could cause you to get tired and not pay attention in your afternoon classes. In addition, junk food caps your energy, which affects your physical activity. You cannot perform your best if you don’t have any energy. Children should be eating more healthy, natural foods.…

    School lunches are almost always inadequate. More than half the students leave lunch hungry. They give choices of vegetables but when they don't taste good they'll just be trashed. If they eat eight hundred calorie meals and they only eat one fourth they only get two hundred of those calories. That's possibly for a high school student that plays three sports a year that won't be home until after six or seven o'clock.…

    This low-quality food is why many students would rather not eat. Cedric Bonsol, a junior who attends Bravo high school in Los Angeles said, “’Sometimes, I don't eat because I don't like it’" (Lin). This school meals are not up to par, and that is why so many students do eat the school provided lunches. If the schools started serving better quality food than what they are serving now, more students would likely begin to participate in the National School Lunch…

    To start off, school lunches taste horrible, and students deserve better. Many students will walk up to the cafeteria line expecting to enjoy what’s being served, when it reality, they approach the food and it looks disgusting. Multiple times students at Auburndale High school won’t enjoy the food that they picked out originally. Sitting down at the lunch table they would realize that the fruits such as apples or bananas are rotten or the chicken sandwich that was picked out is still undercooked and mushy. Imagine starving all day and then when it comes time for the lunch, nothing is appealing as it should be.…

    Although many students don't eat lunch at school, which we found out in a survey we conducted, I believe that the government should increase school budgets in order for them to provide healthier lunches. I believe that if schools provide healthy lunches more people would eat at school. And if more people eat at school that would mean more profit for schools that they could spend on other things like new books or…
