I'm a highschooler attending a Queens, New York Highschool. Over the past years of both elementary and middle school, I've noticed that the school lunch that is being offered is not only unappetizing, but completely frozen! Starting in my 8th grade year, I stopped eating school lunch and I lost weight from the amount of starvation that I had. My parents were always busy with work and taking care of my other siblings, so they never prepared lunch for me; meaning that I had to eat school lunch until I was old enough to make my own lunch. Starting middle school year, I tried to make my own lunches but was unsuccessful because I was forgetful and busy with school; I continued to eat school lunch when I started to think about how the public schools get lunch for everyone. 

This is targeting all NYC public students starting from the age of 4-5 to 18-19. The so called "fresh" and "nutritious" foods are a complete mislead! Are we prisoners? The tax funds go mostly to prison fundings instead of our public schools, how dare they? The brain/nervous system fully develops at the starting age of 26, while the average public school student is under that age, our young and adolescent minds are not fully developed.
