Obesity is a growing problem in America I don't think anyone can dispute that.
In reaction to this Michelle Obama decided that action needed to be taken for school lunches. As a student at Jerome High School, I can tell you she is going about this the wrong way.
For example, growing kids need food. The cheap alternatives is junk food, and in my opinion the government should back off the schools lunch programs
When teenagers, boys and girls start to grow rapidly. The key element for growth is food. While this may be broken down into subcategories it is relatively the same. Many students also participate in sports. I for one play tennis and we don't get home from practices till 6 p.m. and games are even later.
I remember one day for lunch all I got was a burrito (a little bigger than the store-bought package), an apple, 20 baby carrots, and milk (which is about a pint). When we don't get enough food where do we go? At school we have vending machines and the snack bar and outside the school there are stores.
The cheap stuff which is what high school students are willing/able to pay is the usual nachos, Doritos, and everything else you could imagine. This stuff is very unhealthy and how much better would it be if they maybe had an all-you-eat buffet of fruits and vegetables.
There are also plenty of other options that are better than what we currently have. The third problem with the system is that the government is throwing down too many regulations on the lunch ladies. I remember one day a close friend was surprised at how little we were getting and mentioned it. The lunch lady replied, "If I give you guys more I will lose my job!"�
If they had a little more leeway they could serve us better. If they were allowed to do more they could make the meals taste better and better for us. One way this could help is that certain areas are more different and will need different amounts of food.
