An average of 10 million children participate in the School Breakfast Program (SBP) each school day, and 81 percent of these breakfasts are provided free or at a reduced price to low-income students (USDA Food and Nutrition Service Office of Research, and Nutrition and Analysis 2008).

The other benefit with the school lunch is providing variety or appropriate nutrition.

“Students and teachers should be in favor of later school start time because it results in increased grades, more hours of sleep, and fewer students sleeping in class.” Students should be given a chance to get enough sleep and it may result in higher grades in school and teachers will have more energy to teach student the fundamentals of school better.

This emphasis on eating healthy could make students more healthy and more active in school, until they don't eat lunch at all and are missing core nutrition needed to get through the day. The county could also argue, healthy options are made packaged and served fresh on shelves where a student can receive their food in a line but it’s missing a key step, there's no real preparation, less man power to make food, means budget cuts on cafeteria ladies, but that's not necessarily a good thing. In an economy like ours it could take away the jobs of hundreds to thousands and maybe with time…
Isn't that what they always told us in school? Don't be a hypocrite, school! Which is why I start everyday off with a huge bowl of Top Ramen. Okay, maybe early school start times aren't the only reason people eat crappy breakfasts. Now you might be thinking...get up earlier, dudes. But it's almost scientifically impossible for teens to get up early.Being tired can not only lead to depression, it can also mean more automobile accidents. Evidence shows that pushing back school start times can actually cut the risk of car crashes. In one county that pushed back school start times, the number of car accidents caused by teenage drivers dropped almost 17 percent. In counties that didn't…
High school students in particular lack time to socialize, eat lunch, and go about with their busy days. According to NPR, public schools give an average of 15 minutes for students to eat their lunch. Most of this time is used to wait in line for food, once students get their lunch they feel pressured to finish it quickly before the next lunch period enters in to find seats for themselves. With this lack of time, students end up wasting a lot of food, throwing away milk cartons that haven’t been opened, or hot lunches that the individual has barely consumed. Proven by research, students with more time to eat are able to take in more nourishment than students who have less time to eat. With the time, they are able to consume more of their food, reducing food waste and allowing their bodies more time to absorb nutrition from the food. Families across the nation with low income who have struggles providing complete nutritional meals for their children, depending on the school system to provide that for their children. The lunch launching method will allow students to double their eating time by cutting the waiting time in line for lunch.
