Healthier school lunches



More than half the schools around the country never have and maybe never will serve healthier food in their school lunch system. Whether it's an elementary school for young children, middle school for teens, or high school for young adults. One thing will never change, and that is the high calorie food that is served in lunch rooms.

But what would be a reason for healthier foods to be served? That's easy! According to the healthy eating website from San Francisco California, statistics show children benefit in a variety of ways from better food choices. (Link here: http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/reason-healthier-school-lunches-3687.html) students have improved in academic achievement. Better healthier foods depletes the brain supply for more energy to learn. 

If just one school can benefit from the idea of a better school lunch program, one school can change the outcome for others. It promotes better nutrition and that the school system actually cares for its students health. Making this simple choice can change a child's eating habits for a lifetime. But also the reverse is true as well. Thinking about it, if a child were to easily be addicted to fast foods entirely, think of what kind of future can happen if they grow up continuously eating fatty foods.
