The Benefits Of School Lunches

public school students on average only get about 20 minutes or less to eat there lunch. Because of that about 1/4 of students lunches will not get eaten and it will get thrown away. School lunches should be longer for many reasons, but the main reasons that school lunches should be longer is because students would be able to have healthier meals, students who have a longer lunch do better in school and because students would have more time to  socialize with each other. Longer lunches in school would

School lunches and all its benefits are not required to be given to the students. The government kindly provides healthy lunches to millions schools around the country. At the same time open campus lunch exercises students freedom of what they can choose. Students need to learn for themselves, what choices to make, and improve off of their last.

Do you think that school lunch are not that good or maybe the school charges to much for not enough food. School lunches should be gone and we should get to go home for lunch or get to go to some restaurants with are friends. Most people want to go home for lunch because the schools food taste weird.

Have you ever been in the middle of eating lunch at school and then all of a sudden the bell just rings on you? Here at Wellington-Napoleon High School there is only a 20 minute lunch period, this includes the passing periods getting to and from lunch, getting and eating your food, and whatever other things you have to do such as homework or taking care of something on your phone. I personally, as well as my entire class of students here at WNHS agree that having a lunch period as long as 5 minutes

We would also provide lunches/dinners for all the kids in the program. The reason why we would provide lunches and dinners is that a lot of kids in need only ever get nutritious meals at school and nowhere else.

School lunches can be gross sometimes. We should have the opportunity to leave the campus during our lunch period. Off school campus lunch could save the school money, give students a short break, and this would be great for the students who skip lunch because they don’t want to eat school lunch.

The school would

How many times have you seen a tray thrown away at lunch with most of the food still on it? There’s no question that schools produce mountains of wasted food. A fairly easy way to combat this issue would be to increase the time students have to eat lunch. Doing so would also give kids more time to socialize, an important part of human life. Taking just one minute from every class period would add a very beneficial 7 minutes to the wholesome lunch period. There are studies that directly link short

Schools take control of students every move from the amount of homework they get to the exact time they get out, which is a right they do have. In this eye opening TED talk, Chef Ann Cooper discusses the importance of healthy school lunches and the growing dietary problems of our nation’s youth. School needs to realize that the decisions that they make can impact students in a positive or negative way. Many schools believe if they try to serve healthy foods to students they will not eat

while in elementary school, has often led to obesity and serious medical conditions. In a child’s early stages, it’s important for them to be taught about healthy decisions in order to avoid any future health complications that can have a dramatic effect on their lives. Moreover, while improving better school lunches, students in school will more likely be able to acquire the necessary amount of energy to get through the day. With the nutrition and energy from healthy lunches, students will increase
