School Food Persuasive Essay

The food served at most public schools is unhealthy. There is no possible truth than that. School food is made to be served as quickly and as cheaply as possible to all the kids in that school. Meals that are served in this way are bound to be unhealthy, as can be ascertained from pizzas with enough grease to fill a pint of milk, not to mention the unhealthy choices of milk pints. All of the schools that serve their food this way should know that they need to rework their lunches to make them healthier, but not alter them drastically; this will help prevent childhood obesity, improve the grades of students, and potentially earn the school more state-mandated revenue.

Americans are getting fatter and fatter every day. This is evident by the rise of the fast food industry, with their cheap chips and soft drinks, and other tooth-rottingly delicious foods. It seems difficult to stop eating food that has been chemically engineered to be as tasty, and as cheap, as possible, but it can be done if any amount of effort is put in. One simple step that would probably help a lot is to drain foods of the fattening grease they’re cooked in. There should be a negligible amount of grease in a pizza; each pizza must currently get around half of it’s calories
They think that by keeping costs low, the school saves more money in the process. What they don’t realize is that if students actually do start getting better grades (and science says they should) then the school would get more state funding and it would counteract the cost of the extra food. Additionally, some parents would start letting their kids have school food when they wouldn’t have before because it’s now much healthier. Assuming that the money spent on healthier food is the same amount of money the school gets by being better relative to other schools, that’s extra profit for the school. The disbelievers can’t argue
