hot breakfast before a test, their scores will go up. (Mahoney, Taylor, Kanarek, & Samuel, 2005, p. 636) The United States offers free and reduced price breakfast and lunch to children that qualify based on a program started in 1946.

The School…
School Lunch Outcry Dr. Huff, Many students look forward to their lunch period as a chance to eat, socialize with their friends, and take a break from classwork. Although for many students this is not a social event, school lunch is their only meal of the day. Recently, students have begun to dread lunch because of the quality of food. They are starving throughout the day because of the poor quality of our lunches. The lunchroom staff is given the bare minimum to produce our lunches. We know it…
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…
decide not to eat at all during lunch. They wait until they get home to eat whatever they want. There are many ways to encourage students to eat a good lunch at school. One way that can really help change this issue of students not eating at school is to remove the price of buying lunch at school. If this proposal is encouraged many students will eat more at school than at home. Allison Aubrey, writer of “Class Divide: Are More Affluent Kids Opting Out Of School Lunch? stated that,” healthier…
School lunch, what happened? Why do prisoners get better food than high schoolers do? Now days everyone is concerned about obesity. Is school lunch the actual reason behind the United States of America obesity ratings? That’s a negative. The reason why America is more obese now than what they were in the 70’s is laziness.

open campus lunch policy provides students with the right kind of responsibility to help them go forward in their life. A student can feel empowered to make the right choices for their own future.

Students should be allowed to eat lunch off campus because it will teach them responsibility, as well as it being a stress reliever and a social situation skill builder. Choosing a healthy lunch is your…
The government is offering schools on the lunch program some healthy options, but it is still very challenging to find these whole grain products for a decent price and in large quantities (Wolfgang, 2014). 90% of schools stated that have have had occurrences with at least one problem while preforming in this program. Most of these schools had to tweak or change the guidelines one way or another in order to…
school in general, but what we really hate is school lunch. Granted not all schools face this problem, but they kids that do, well it causes a few problems. I am lactose intolerant, therefor I can’t eat most things that my school cafeteria has to offer, some kids just plain don’t like the way our food is made or served, and lastly kids who have a “higher income and can’t get free lunch” don’t always have the money to spend $20 a week for a tiny lunch, and sometimes won’t eat till they get home.…
introducing new options. So why should students not be able to do the same with their lunch? Open campus would allow students more freedom.
