Do you want a change in lunch? Do you want more out of food choices? I think we need to! Some positive points are... Lunch food at our school is unhealthy Kids don't have a lot of choices for main courses Kids could think better through out the day and maybe help give the school a good report on students grades, which would cause more money for the school, and maybe make its way up to the top school's in the country! Research: School lunches in Japan were found TOXIC, this is not only an issue at out school but an issue all over the world! http://www.reuters.com/article/healthnews/idUST6359120070801 Nationally, 33% of elementary schools, 71% of junior high schools, and 89% of high schools sell foods and beverages out of vending machines, school stores, or a la carte Twenty states received failing grades for their food policies! Thats almost half of our whole country! If we don't do something about our food procedures now, think of our heroes of tomorrow! http://fooddemocracy.wordpress.com/2008/02/24/school-lunches-state-rankings L. J.
