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.

This is why I believe school lunches should be made more nutritious and appealing to students. To begin with, students …show more content…

This is because the food is not to their standards, so students are not going to eat it. ProQuest said “The most nutritious meals are the ones students actually eat.” To add on to this, they say that the schools don't have the food up to the standards they need to have. For example, 1 out of 5 students are going to be obese. This is stated because the school's food is not healthy for students. That can lead to being obese and life-threatening consequences like diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers.

Poppendieck goes on to explain how since way back when the war began and how that set-in motion a “war on food” using surpluses as well as cutting the budget for lunches in order to make ends meet with these programs, yet that still didn’t get the job done. The significance that the government has held over these food programs are heavily weighed in her book. She gives us an overview with USDA reports, sit ins on courses with other educators, food personnel, and parents.

In colleges and businesses across the nation, students and workers are subjected to assessments developed by psychologists to determine their suitability for certain vocations.

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.
