When i saw this this made me not want to eat school lunches ever again because that spider would've been accidentally eaten. My question is when are schools going to realize that students aren't eating their lunches and as a result they are losing money. I believe that schools should go back to the old times where they would cook students fresh food. These lunches that they are serving us are sometimes half frozen or watered down or even just old. Some students are getting stomach aches by just eating this food. Some students have no choice but to eat this food because it may be the only food they get for the day. Which makes me sad because they are consuming these school lunches that are in bad conditions, and that are not even freshly made. So I say that schools should change the way they feed us.
I agree that the school lunch program needs to change. In the no lunch, left behind article it tells us how much the government gives to the free lunch program, 9 billion but even with all this money the food is either frozen and just warmed up. But when they estimated the cost to feed 30 million children it cost 27 billion a year. Yet the government expects the school lunch program to feed kids with only 9 billion. I think when the government decides to give the schools more money than maybe it will change, but until then it's frozen, defrosted food for lunch.
ReplyDeleteI just threw up a little. This is a joke right?
ReplyDeletecompletely agree with you. I once found a string of hair baked into the schools pizza .
ReplyDeleteExpanding on Stephanie's comment, although the sum of money schools receive from government may seem like a lot, it is not solely being used for actual food. The money has to go into maintaining the kitchen, utensils, condiments and all the extra cost that go into to a package on a truck becoming a hot plate. I really do think there are healthier meals that can be appetizing, it may take a heavy bill to get it started but down the road it would make a big difference.
