School Lunch Editorial By: Kathryn & Jenni

I think I’m not the only one questioning the school lunches. There are lots of complaints about the food going around amongst the kids. Most of the time it’s not hot and sometimes it’s not even warm. The lunches are very average. I think we need more variety. There are only 10 or so lunches that we rotate through. More options would be better. The students definitely get tired of constantly eating the same foods over and over. The objective of school lunch should be to make sure we are eating healthy, but still getting what we want at the same time.
In February, a chef came to our school and made us some new food. Our girl classmates think the chef should come more often. She made us good food that was good for us, too. It was different from what we usually eat. They also think we should have back the popcorn chicken that the school took off the menu.
The boys think the food should not be burnt. They also said they should use fresh and natural ingredients. For example; the cheese tastes artificial or fake. (the boys actually said it tastes like plastic) Also, the few lunches they actually like should be cooked and served more often.
We all agree the lunches should be healthier all together. Students want better quality food that is delicious, hot, and healthy.
