School lunches need to change. The lack of portion in our school lunches is absurd. Students do not feel full, and most of the time get sick after eating the lunch provided at school. We get almost the same thing every day, it's nothing to look forward to. We cannot eat these lunches when most times the milk or apples are days old, the pizza is sticking to the paper plates, and the sandwiches are moldy. These are just a few examples of what students experience in their lunch food. As claimed, these lunches are supposed to be "healthier" but in all reality they're just more processed. Students cannot go through eight hour school days by eating only a uncrustable pb&j. Students look forward to their lunch period, and when they pick their lunch up and see things like squishy oranges and four small chicken tenders, you cannot expect a student to have the focus and drive to keep working throughout the day. The Art Institute states, "...And those problems can lead to children who don't perform as well in school." The lunches, specifically the meat from chicken barbecue sandwiches and school burgers, feel rubbery and slimy. Public School Review claims, "Pathogens and bacteria housed in school cafeteria food are thought to be responsible for many stomach virus outbreaks nationwide." Students do not feel full and will sometimes get sick from what they've eaten. This needs to change.
