hey i think we should have better school lunches because some people don't get fed at home and there about starving to death and we have to eat these nasty lunches that have hair in them because our school doesnt know how to wear hair nets! Just like every oridinary child in this world i think we should protest the person who makes the cafeteria lunches so horrible.

my school has great food and it isnt the school that provides the food it is a cafe that got set up in our school
we have a wide variety of fresh foods and a balanced diet

if it is a large garden with a variety of fruits and vegetables the children can learn about food and how to grow it, They can learn about bugs which are good and which can harm the garden or people, They can learn team work and what it takes to grow a healthy garden.
All of these skills can be transferred to there classes and jobs.
I missed watering efficiently without wasting water and if the garden is big enough that the school cannot use it all they can send food home with the children and the rest can go to the community the school serves. Web cams can be put on the garden for security and advertisement If dear is a problem you can try wild life urine such as coyotes or wild cats and try other methods such as radios, sprinklers and other devices hooked to motion detectors to scare off wild life. If a mascot is used, Pets need a lot of attention but can enhance visits to the garden which will discourage wild life. If children visit after hours they should be in a group or accompanied by there parents.

wow I know exactly what your talking about this is a list of every thing on mt school lunch
pizza (almost tastes like pizza hut)
tacos
hamburger
cheeseburger
chicken patty
hot dog
bbq rib sandwich
nachos
giant pretzels
slushes
ice cream
baked hot chetos
3 kinds a backed chips
fruit roll ups
and salads.....
oh and we have "juice" that has 42 grams of sugar
and i ad a pation and gave it to my principal and he said
'most of the stuff on the menu is healthy because it's baked'
and I should have said that just because a cake is baked does not mean it's healthy...
and even if the food on the menu is 'healthy' then what is it teaching the kids??!!
that you can eat pizza for lunch every day and be fine??!

i think we need better school lunches because they r so unheathy for us it inferats me that the school thinks that this is healthy

I think that we should have more fruits in our childrens lunch rooms because it will give them eating habbits for the future in keeping them healthy right now and later on in life so i think in most of our schools we need more fuits and less soda in our lunch rooms in Jr. High

i am a student and i think at our school there should be more fruits and vegtables in the lunch room or even by the snack machines. and take out some of the soda machines to cause a school is for learning and some kids like me cant study cause we are to hyper from drinking the soda. I also think there should be more water and healthy things in the soda machines so we will have no other opptions to drink soda and to cut down on soda casue it is not good for your stomach if you have to much whitch people buy sodas every day and for the snack machines it might even be alright for them to have like fresh fruits and other things that are healthy for you and i have seen over heavy kids that get made fun of and that might be causee of the school lunchs and might lose weight and it will be healthy for them and if we have fruit and stuff we will my in good shape and we will learn to eat right and be fit in the future and have a good body.
