i want better school lunches for my school because when you look at it,it’s so nasty but some of them are good but i just don’t like it. Sometime people have to bring lunches.
Schools complain about children being obese,and unhealthy.
But at the same time there feeding us chicken that shakes like Jello, and salad that looks and taste’s as if it is week out-dated.
And in 2004 kids and even teacher’s where getting saminela poisn from eating the Cafeteria food that at least 1/2 of students eat. yes i understand that was in 2004 but still that is CRAZY.
I want to help the enviromet as much as the next person but it’s not helping the inviroment if kid are going to the hospital and using gas, medicatin,ect. and throwing away the food which lots of kids do.
You cant save the planet if all this is happening, not only are you wasting time,mony,paper,ect. to help the planet just for kids to get sick and not want to eat it,but its going to run down all the people, who aretrying to help as well!!!!!!!!!
What these people said are true like really. First off I got a pizza the other day and it tasted like cardboard?!!! If schools are gonna serve me trash like that the you dont have to worry bout childhood obesity cause IM NOT EATING IT!! I dont have time 4 it either YYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHH i got some Kool-Aid, Doritos & Ham and cheese sandwiches at home!!! If there is going 2 be environment friendly food then LET IT TASTE GOOD!!!!!!
