I am vegetarian and it is nearly impossible for me to have a nutritious meal at school. I shouldn't have to bring lunch from home just to get a nutritious meal while others get a free school lunch. I also have friends who need kosher meals and can't eat ANYTHING at the cafeteria. Students shouldn't be denied school lunch just because of their dietary needs.
I'm vegetarian, and also don't eat eggs, although I usually ignore the second part. Which is part of the problem, because if I didn't ignore that part, I would almost never get any food at lunch. I don't have the time to pack one at home, and the food at school is either disgusting or has meat/eggs in it, so I don't want to/can't eat it anyway. I'm hungry every day because I can't get enough to eat, and the food I can eat is gross and doesn't have much nutrition in it anyway. I also have vegetarian and kosher friends who struggle with this as well. We need better school lunch options!!

It is so important that people can get nutritious food at school. It helps them power through the day and also has a large impact on their behavior. All students should be able to have a least one choice on what to get for lunch. That is why I support this petition. Also, the Edina School district should make better lunches. I know people that don't eat lunch at all because of how the lunches taste. I hope this petition gets far, Olivia.
I am a Registered Dietitian and I support increasing plant based options in our schools. Increasing plant based foods in our children's diet will reduce their risk for developing chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.
