The main reason people want to remove school lunches concerns the quality of the food itself. Their charge gets support from a 2009 study, published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, showing that 94 percent of school lunches actually fail to meet the regulatory standards set by USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) (Christensen, 2011).…

School lunch... The thought of it sends many many children running in fear, but, in all honesty, it is not nearly as bad as many people believe.

Previously, many people think that school lunches have the correct amount of nutrients and vitamins but more importantly, does it. Numerous of studies have concluded that school lunches can lead up to obesity and high blood pressure. Within this problem, many of the school lunches don’t include vegetables or fruits in their trays. A study made by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health concluded that 6 out of 10 students touched the lunch tray while the other 4 either took a bite out of it or just threw it away.…
A healthier school lunch plan; would this be more beneficial for the students oppose to a better tasting, less nutritious lunch? I'm against a newer more healthier lunch plan due to the reason that we students really don't need it nor want it. In this essay I will state and explain my position on this topic of disagreement. First, the school lunch plan we have now still has nutritional value in it. It just doesn't offer as much nutrition in it compared to the new school lunch menu. For the students that actually need a more nutritious diet we can a establish a special lunch plan for them; but by establishing a completely healthy lunch plan for all the students isn't necessary. Next, the students like the lunches the school offers…
The government should not have a say in school lunches because students are not getting the nutrition they need. “They have been hearing from parent and particularly older students who are unhappy with the lower calorie and lower-fat meals full of fruits and vegetables” (Newsleader). Many guardians of the students think it's better for their kids to take what they will actually, eat instead of getting fruits and vegetables that they will throw in the trash anyway. Some students ask why the government can not just make the food they have now healthier and keep the same…

Waking up to go to high school every day isn’t the most fun thing on earth. Sitting through a few boring classes that seem to drag on forever isn’t an exciting way to spend a day as a kid. But, there is one part of school that everyone looks forward to; lunch. After waiting through a couple periods a student can talk openly with his or her peers, and enjoy some food that the school provides. That is, until, something gets slopped onto their plate that looks like cardboard, plastic, or something some people can’t even describe. School lunches haven’t always been this way though, and new, healthier school lunches are to blame. Healthier school lunches are not acceptable the way that they are now, because of the cost they create and the terrible taste of most of the lunches. There are some arguments though, that are for healthy school lunches, but really they aren’t that great.…

School lunches are often portrayed in the media as gross, inedible, and served by a staff that couldn’t care less about their students. However exaggerated this may be, there’s no denying that there are problems in the American school lunch system, and the causes of these problems tend to be students themselves.…
Lunch is the key point in every student’s day. It’s the time where they can relax, take a break from class, get their energy back up, and enjoy a good meal. Yet, students won’t be able to enjoy lunch when the food their eating makes them sick. Kids only have so many options to what they eat that they choose what they want instead of what is good for them. Instead of choosing between apple slices and french fries, students should be given the option of different fruits and/or vegetables to help them keep their energy up, prevent students from getting sick, and helps students grow.…

Eating out for school lunch would definitely taste better, but it will not be a healthier option for anyone. A school lunch contains about 750 calories. A meal from a fast food restaurants contains about 840 calories. Just by looking at this, you can see that there are a lot fewer calories in a school lunch than in a fast food meal. Also, since they can choose how much food they want, the students could buy more food than is necessary. By doing this, there could be even more calories than in an average fast food meal. Students don’t get to choose as much extra food in a school meal making it a lot healthier.…
Schools all across America have been filled with absolutely nutritious meals and not to mention the lack of calories it contains. However that may not be as bad as one may think, at least were not gaining weight right? Overall the most important part of each meal is of course, how it tastes but that's no problem, school lunches have hit the nail on the head. The mix between cardboard and cheap plastic titillates the taste buds. Schools throughout America have changed their cafeteria food from pizza and cheeseburgers to two pieces of orange chicken and day old rice. Delicious! This change is definitely for the better due to the fact that so many of high school students love the foods so much that some have even turned to bulimia to be able…
School lunch should not offer such a variety of food; some schools have several lunch lines, however only one or two of these lines are healthy foods. Children should be able to choose what they want to eat, but they should have to choose between healthy options. Lunchrooms offer milk, orange juice, and chocolate milk for students, some offer fountain drinks…
