Fast Food Schools

With fast food franchises taking over schools nationwide, is it a safety hazard for students to be eating food from school? How have fast food corporations able to sell their products to schools?

Before around my time, my our school lunches looked overwhelmingly more healthier that what school cafeteria food looks like today. We had veggies, fruits, milk, and salad served with our lunches everyday. The portion of healthier foods were served much bigger before than it is today. It wasn't until I reached middle school where I noticed food carts and student snack stores were open with a variety of fast serving foods like pizza, Panda Express meals, cookies, chips, and occasionally some tacos or burritos with nachos on the side.

It amazes me to see how much school Cafeteria food has changed as a new generation came about. Now, in high school, there are soda machines, fast food caters from all over Vegas, ramen cups, and various vending machines serving Candy and chips. 

According to the Public School Review Board (link here: http://www.publicschoolreview.com/blog/why-fast-food-is-healthier-than-school-lunches-the-shocking-usda-truth) schools decided to have fast food caters serve their food in our schools for faster money, and it requires less cooking in the kitchen. But what bugs me about this article is she fact the school board seems to be supporting the idea of fast foods catering to schools thinking it is "safer" than those of school food.
