For my first reason I will be talking about behavior. Food is important for kids,teenagers, and adults. If kids at the school don’t get food we could get moodiness, hyperactivity, depression and not pay attention during class. Here at Rocky Mountain Middle School we have won plenty of A+ awards and the Rocky Mountain Middle School students can change all of that because of many things including eating. When kids don’t eat the tend not to do well in school because they can’t concentrate.…

Better School Lunches School Lunches have gotten worst tasting but better in health. I feel like more students are just throwing lunches away instead of eating them or bringing their own lunch. So why do we make the healthy school lunches if the students don’t eat them? I feel like students should have better school lunches.…
They also face the issues of what standards schools chose to meet. In some cases schools fail to determine the proper needs of their students and look only on meeting the prices. Schools are faced with a great issue when it comes to our students and their food needs. The students would much rather eat fat and greasy foods than ones that are good for you and meat health requirements. Celebrity chefs have taken it upon themselves to help make school lunches healthier for the students, "The task is Daunting, not simply because Fast food is seductive and children are conservative eaters"(Levine, School Lunch Politics).…
Students come to school to learn, but have you noticed that they have been complaining about their lunches lately? School lunches are all processed meat. Not to mention that they are disgusting.

Food is going to waste due to this and so is money. The New York Times mentioned how the meals comes off as tasteless and bland to the children and also pointed out that these regulations prevent the cafeterias from providing the children with foods that are staples of diets for children in countries with much lower rates of childhood and adult obesity than the United States (Murphy,2015). What schools should be focusing on is making the healthy food options full of flavor as well. Studies have shown that school age children need at least five portions of different…
Years ago, the Clearwater site allowed their students to either walk or bike to a certain destination over the lunch hour for food, known as open campus. The last time this was available was my 7th grade year. Nowadays, school lunches are lacking. As high school students, we are always running and gunning and burning endless amounts of energy.

The first point is why there is unhealthy food in school lunches. a) The main reason for this is because unhealthy foods are a huge source of revenue to schools. b) The amount of money a school makes from federal reimbursements and fundraising isn’t enough to suffice their financial costs. Therefore they must rely on competitive foods, which are foods that are sold outside of school lunches.…
A lot of students do not like school lunches. Nothing against the lunch ladies ' ability to cook, but the options that come with school food are limited. It is a fact that at least one time a student has looked down at their tray and saw a slab of meat that looked like it came from a can of dog food. School lunch is unappetizing.

The term “school lunch,” has had a negative connotation ever since I can remember. There’s much more to school lunch than gourmet salads or mystery meat. All over the United States schools serve lunch to a variety of different students, with different backgrounds, age groups and income. Just in one school the systematic arrangement of the lunch ladies and the policies set in place are just tiny specs of a much larger picture. The fact of the matter is, as children are developing they are being programmed and prepped for the rest of their lives.…
Certain kids have different experiences with their school’s lunches, but it’s safe to assume that the majority of children do not enjoy them one bit. At a school in LA, one child says “The healthier it gets the more disgusting it is” which is just another reason why healthy school lunches are not a good idea. Some children at the school can barely describe what “it” is. Kids want to eat what tastes good, not what tastes like garbage, no matter how good it is for them. It’s not just the taste though; it’s the serving size as well.…
