Do you buy lunch at school? Most kids at IKE this year do! But does that mean they enjoy the lunches they eat? People don’t enjoy the school lunches as much as they should. When people buy their lunches at school they should be getting good quality food and not food that looks like it was put together with no effort. The school food should be good quality, not soggy and fake tasting. When I buy school lunches I avoid the meat products like hamburgers and chicken sandwiches because the meat tastes fake, the buns are soggy and they made them with a whole wheat bun that makes them taste yukky. I asked Layla Gonzalez , a seventh grader here at IKE , what she thinks about the school’s food. Her response was…” The school’s food is ok, but I would like them to stop trying to make it healthy in some ways. Like the buns on the hamburgers are whole wheat and gross.There soggy and wet. The reason why I bring my lunch is because I feel the school food is not the best quality and I like eating good quality food for lunch. It would be nice to get the school to have catered food on fridays like Pizza Hut or Chick-Fil-A.” I agree with Layla when she said she would like catered food on fridays. I think this would be a good option for students.The meals may cost a little more but I think a little more cost is better than cheap bad food.
Now there are some choices In the cafeteria that aren’t so bad. Each day there is a new menu item on the hot grill. On Tuesday its tacos on Wednesday its mexican food. They also have pizza, chili pies and much much more! Everyday kids have the option to buy yogurt and chips. There are salads and wraps. There is also some fresh fruit, it can be good sometimes, but most of the time I see kids avoiding it. There are great drink options at school though! They have orange juice and apple juice. Sparkling water. Water bottles. And chocolate, white and strawberry milk. So what do you say? Should we change the school lunch menu or should we keep it the way it is?
