Students Need Better School Lunches by Jenna L. - Letters.
Recent research shows that nourishing food not only makes a child healthier, it makes him or her emotionally more stable, and it improves school performance.. Many people in my class, especially the boys, agree that more food should be served in the cafeteria..

Parents are tired and will feed their children processed food from the freezer or freeze dried out of a box because it is convenient and cheaper than cooking fresh healthy foods. School lunches might not be a serious issue if kids were eating healthier foods at home. Most of the time meals or snacks are full of unnecessary calories, salts, and sugars.
Healthy eating is not only important for your diet, it's also important as a part of your personal well-being. Eating healthy can drastically improve your physical fitness, allow you to feel better about yourself, and do wonders for you health. Healthy eating doesn't mean you have to follow a strict diet, or give up foods you love. You just need to balance the amount of types of foods you eat.
Children should be getting better food in the cafeteria. Children are getting obese and are needing to lose weight.Plus most of the time the food is really gross.People are looking at the price rather than the quality of the food.Also, more veggies and lean meats will help the children's total health and their well being.

Food eaten at school contributes substantially to the students’ daily nutrient intake and also has a considerable influence in the development of their eating habits, growth patterns and energy levels. It is vital that parents, teachers and students work together to support a whole-school approach to building a school culture in which students actively choose nutritious food and a healthy.
Unfortunately, the positive impact of school food programs is not strong enough to overcome other unhealthy influences on children’s diet. Our analysis found that FRP meal participants drank more sugary beverages and ate more fast food than their peers, and they were more likely to be obese—gaps that widened between 5th and 8th grade.
