Lunches: Friend OR Foe???
AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What Is That??????
Argument
I don't think lunches are good for you. At school they want us to eat healthy. How are we suppose to eat healthy if the cooks don't give us healthy food. I think the cost for school lunch is to much for the small and unhealthy portions. All of the chicken we get isn't a good thing. I also believe we need more nutritional food. The cooks say we are feeding you healthy food. Its not true!
The counter Argument: Some people enjoy the school lunches. They may think the nutritional value is enough for them. Some People may think "The Healthy food" is good for them. They may not mind the school lunch cost. Everyone always has their own opinion.
There Is always two sides of the argument.

For lunch we are suppose to get 420 calories. We get 828 calories that is almost double the amount we are suppose to get. When we eat chicken all of the time it is greasy and has a lot of calories and fat. Not everyone enjoys chicken 3 days a week. If you ask people in school you can see how many people are tired of our lunches. In 2010 the school lunches were the same to more unhealthy than fast food restaurants. If the lunch people want us to eat healthy food then they need to give us healthy food. The cooks could try to make something new, different, and a better alternative than chicken all the time.

The cost for school lunch is too much. It is unhealthy. There is also small portions. I think the lunches should be cheaper. The lunches are small but yet we pay $2.45 cents. That adds up to 50.00 dollars a month. That is expensive for the amount of food we get. If we got better sized lunches, better tasting, and more healthy food the price would be fine. The lunch count may be high but most students dislike the lunch. In my class alone 15 out of 20 people dislike the lunches. The people just get it because they don't have anything to bring from their house. That is the only reason why the lunch count is so high. Lower prices and more healthy food will make everyone happy.

Lunches fail to meet the nutritional requirement and have high sodium and fat content. School lunches contribute to childhood obesity. The obesity rate in teenagers was 5% in 1980 and in 2012 it was 21%. It has increased by 16%. In our school we also have a high calorie and fat content. That is how I know our school does not provide us with the healthy food they are talking about. Nutritional value is important to childhood growth. The lunches need to be better. I think if schools would provide better tasting and healthy food the obesity level in children and teenage obesity will go down.
TOO MUCH CHICKEN!!!
How much chicken is your limit? I have met my limit. Chicken sometimes is fine but all of the time it gets old. Chicken chicken chicken that's all I hear. Not everyone wants the chicken.
