I admit, I love cafeteria food! There are different food choices that I can never find myself eating at home. But are these food really what they appear to be? They may look and sound good, but many of us don't pay much attention to what is really contained in the food.
Students agree school foods should always taste better and so does the government. But these government officials who regulate what is served in our school can care less about the health and only about the money. It is said about 20% of students are diagnosed with obesity just from the food they eat at school!
As students grow up they tend to buy school cafeteria food more than bringing homemade food to school. In elementary school days kids thought bringing lunch is better than school lunch. Kids thought showing off foods meant better tasting foods.
According to the news article by the blog food facts (link here :http://thefoodfactss.blogspot.com/2012/05/truth-about-cafeteria-food_28.html?m=1) , most student lunches contain the "pink paste" that many of us see as a health hazard. We may think school foods can be trusted, but boyyyy we were wrong! Nowadays fast food companies flood our hallways everyday as students rush and race to be the first in line.
If only school programs allowed the teaching of food and health, there could have been a possibility for better foods and healthier food choices to be made. Less sugar and more fruits, less fats, and more veggies. Side dishes that are considered "healthy" should have bigger portions than what is actually served.
