Us, Alejandro Blanco, and David Miguel started our journey of high school in the year 2019. Our school lunches back then compared to right now are completely different. The lunch menu in 2019 consisted of fresher options like more fruits and vegetables and overall more appetizing meals. The fruits we had to choose from were grapes, pineapple, peaches, apples, and even jicama. To add to that we had fresher main dishes. We used to be served fresh hamburgers, caesar salads, and even turkey with gravy. 

Now the majority of the foods that are given to us are packaged,  greasy, extremely processed, and carb-filled. We mainly get served food such as packaged burritos, packaged hamburgers, and packaged enchiladas.  The only warm food that is served in the fresh air is french fries, which says a lot about the variety of the foods we get.  We believe that the main cause of the decrease in the quality of LAUSD lunch could be that students aren't required to pay for meals.  Although not everyone eats at school, the students that do should still be provided with fresh, healthy, and different variety of foods to eat. Remember it's essential to eat healthy because it is what fuels us and keeps our brains in shape to become successful. 

 After we reach a significant amount of signatures on the petition, we will inform the school principal of the petition, who will be able to bring it up to the school board.
