Poor quality in school lunches

As the school day sluggishly goes by, the one time in the day students look forward to is lunch. Thirty-five minutes to sit and converse with friends, maybe quick finish up some homework but importantly eat a healthy appetizing lunch. School lunches are known to be not the best tasting food so many students choose to bring their own lunch from home. School lunches in the past had candy and more junk food available but since then the district has cut back on unhealthy foods and now supplying less appetizing meals for students. Not that the students want to eat candy for lunch every day but the so-called “healthy” lunches are not as preferred. The food lacks appealing appearance, when I walk into the lunch room I can walk through the line without finding one thing that looks delicious enough for me to eat. I am a senior and I can say that I have maybe bought school lunch five times max at being at Eastview all four years; and I have absolutely no idea what my lunch pin number even is. It’s not just our school that has bad food, all the schools do. Everyone from parents, school faculty and even kids themselves are so caught up in “becoming obese” or being called fat that they concentrate on supplying “healthy” food even though it lacks in taste. I think by making the students grab the bag of carrots with their lunch or they have to pay extra is just a waist. Little do they know most students don’t eat those, that bag gets thrown away un-opened and instead that could be going to someone who really needs it. The lunches just need some more flavors, better meals overall prepared. I doubt the lunch ladies themselves have never ate the food that they supply out daily to students. It’s not that the lunches are absolutely horrible because people do eat them, there just in need of better quality. When I sit at lunch with my friends I notice that just about everyone I sit with brings their own lunch to school. Coincidence? Could be but the fact is many people chose purposely to bring their own food over school lunches. There is multiple reasons they could bring their own lunch maybe their picky eaters, don’t want to pay for school lunch, or simply the main reason everyone brings their own lunch, due to the “gross” lunch food. My suggestion to this problem is buy appetizing foods, maybe they cost more but if you get more people purchasing school lunches the administration will be able to afford it. Maybe if this change were to happen I too one day before I graduate could say I bought a school lunch and enjoyed it.
