 The schools lunches that the schools are serving are giving are very unhealthy. However some kids are forced to eat it because they don’t bring their own lunch or they don’t bring money but there are people who want to change that. For example Jaime Oliver a celebrity chef is starting a movement where he wants to put healthier things in the system and in the world. He decided to start in the unhealthiest city in the world and he did a whole show about it for everyone to see what the kids are eating.

The problem is that the health of the people is bad and it all starts in the schools. The schools in America are serving unhealthy lunches and breakfast such as pizza and chicken nuggets. “Elementary school kids are getting processed breakfast pizza and chicken fingers.” Another problem is that many parents are lazy and they precook food, “Are you reheating or are you cooking.” Therefore reheating your food you don’t get the fresh experience you should get instead you get preservatives and other unnatural things.

The cure to this epidemic is to start at the core which is the schools and families and to tell them the right thing to do is to eat fresh. “This 17 year-olds leaving school do not have nearly enough basic information about food.” Also we need to teach the kids that you can make an amazing dish for cheap, and healthier. Therefore, to teach them not to eat these “fat foods”.

Also, another problem is with the new lunches that the schools are starting to give out that are “Healthy” and good for you, the kids just throw them away, “The Los Angeles district saw school lunch participation plunge by some 12% after unveiling the new dishes.” Why? Well because the new dishes suck they are tasteless and the kids don’t like them. The change has been so bad that kids have tried to make a petition to change them back. A solution might be that they should bring the old dishes back and put some healthy ingredients into them.

In my opinion I think putting healthy lunches in the school cafeterias will be a good thing. However, make it taste good, because many kids who buy school lunches throw them away. So maybe if the lunch lady’s gave some effort into the cooking maybe kids will like them and eat them.

At the end I hope we can get everyone to eat healthier and to make everyone fit in America. Let’s eat a salad America!
