Health

School lunches is usually unhealthy in America because a lot of school serve students fast food for lunch. "Deep-fried popcorn chicken, tiny taters, bread, barbecue sauce, ketchup, milk. That high-fat, high-sodium, low-fiber menu is a typical lunch at a typical American elementary school." It can cause a lot of problems to the children such as obesity, heart diseases. Michelle Obama tried to solve the problems, I've read some articles about Michelle Obama's lunch plan and it was not popular and a lot of students and parents didn't like the plan. "Parents are saying that kids are coming home hungrier than before, and teachers are claiming that kids are hungry an hour after their lunch break, making them sleepy and unfocused." Provide healthy school lunches is very important to the students. "When choosing what to eat for lunch, making a healthy choice is really important. Here's why: Eating a variety of healthy foods gives you energy to do stuff, helps you grow the way you should, and can even keep you from getting sick." It is not just the school responsibility for the children's health, and it is also the parents and the children's own responsibity for eating health food. Parents and children should have a health diet. There are some students that choose to eat the unhealth food even the school can provide them some health school lunches such as vegetables and fruits. When I was in high school there's a lot of students don't like to eat vegetables, even the school provided vegetables. They just left the vegetables on the plate after they finished up the meat. So we should follow the MyPyramid chart and have a healthy diet.
