Children all across the U.S. are forced daily to eat substandard, school-provided lunches. Attaining these lunches are an expensive and time-consuming process.

Lunch time is supposed to a time when students can settle down and enjoy their lunch that they either bought or brought. Although this is the case, most students receive healthy lunches that they do not want to eat, mostly just throwing it away. Schools should sell students more variety for lunch, instead of forcing healthy choices on them. As a matter of fact, school lunches having more variety and more snacks that students would enjoy does not change student’s risk of being overweight or obese.

Drayden Kopec Wogernese 8/9 3/13/2024 School lunches Do you like your school food or your lunch room?Have you ever wanted to try something else for a change? Well, I'm going to talk to you about how school lunches should have a change. My reasoning for talking about school lunches is because some schools have very non-nutrient for the students. Some schools just don’t have food that their students like or that is good for them. Maybe this is because the equipment used to prepare the lunch is inadequate.
In conclusion schools should not change the lunches because they don't have the power to tell students can or can't eat, they don't have the time and money, and finally because they are not allowed to put a limit on how much a student can eat due to the “No Kid Hungry
Dear USD 305 School Board, Do you want to provide students with a second lunch because they didn't get fed the appropriate amount? Do you want to hear the parents complain about their kids saying how hungry they are? Well, recently I have noticed that most of the students in the school complain about the school lunches and how they are still hungry. This issue needs to be addressed because as you get older, your body needs more nutrients. Also, this is a problem because then the school is giving out food that kids are going to waste because they don't like it.
Lunch is a very important meal for most students, seeing how they get a break from whatever subjects they are learning in school to refuel their empty stomachs and minds. Although in recent years, school lunches haven't been the most sought-out due to various reasons. One of which is the effort to make school lunches healthy. Although the nutritional guideline for school lunches gives students healthy food, the federal nutritional guideline makes school lunches worse for students and schools. Schools have had a harder time keeping up with the changing requirements for lunches and has led to limited opinions on what they can serve.
In 2010, congress passed the Healthy Hunger - Free Act. This restricted the amount of sodium, sugar and fat schools could serve at lunch. They were then forced to serve more nutritious foods like whole grains, vegetables and fruits. However, the overall response was that less kids were eating the school lunch. As a result, schools have been paying for food that doesn’t get eaten and has been modified to meet standards.
In some schools some principals superintendents have made a decision to opt out of the Healthy choice foods and make there own semi-healthy foods that kids like.

According to a research, $1,238,846,400 of food is discarded by students annually (Cohen, Richardson, Austin, Economos, & Rimm, 2013). When choosing what to eat, people usually pick their favorite foods that is tasty and appealing. Thus, if the school lunch offered is not the type of food students want to eat, then they will just throw it away. Implementing healthier school foods is a waste of the program’s money. Moreover, serving healthy school foods on a strict budget is very challenging.
It’s no secret why students complain about school lunch. It’s cold, it’s nasty, it smells unusual, and it leaves an awful taste in the mouth. But it’s the fact that the lunch is so cheap makes schools choose to stick with it. For decades, kids in America have brought up the situation about how unappetizing school lunches are, but no one really takes action. Now it’s time that someone has brought out the truth on how school lunches really are.
To begin with, the taste alone of school lunches is beyond unsatisfactory. The meals provided by public schools are not appetizing. There exists a tangible disconnect between the enticing, nutritious meals advertised on the school board’s menus and what the students actually receive—pathetic portions and lukewarm meals slapped onto a tray. Children’s complaints about school lunches are often seen as trite. However, while common, they are not any less accurate.
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. Everyday thousands of kids go to school and mindlessly eat this lunch. A lunch that is filled with 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 growing obesity epidemic.
