Why school Lunch should be changed
The Issue
the amount of Vegan/Vegetarian meals. I always look around for food that is vegan and I see nothing except for lettuce and some toppings which are left out waiting to be filled with germs and who knows what else. I don't think it's right that they don't consider thinking about other people well being with food. With that, it leads us to our second reason, it's about the food they use. Schools rarely use fresh food which is unhealthy and gross, some examples of this are Frozen meat, canned guacamole, etc. Those two reasons I have just stated are very important but in my opinion, the most important of all is that students have to pay for lunch now. Before children and their parents were relaxed about feeding their kids especially if they are struggling with money, but now we have to pay for food. Not all families can pay for home food and with school lunch too we are putting a lot on some people's plates, and taking away the privilege of kids to eat good and healthy meals is just not right! Some ideas I had to make school lunches better are, to have students have the ability to choose what they would like to eat in school over the weekend via google form and there could also be a salad bar filled with great options like eggs, fresh tomatoes, feta, croutons, and any edible seeds. In conclusion, My name is Aryhanna Mendez and I am fighting for better lunches and healthy schools.
