School lunch has continued to get worst By: Tylor Harding
School lunch has continued to get worst and worst. It seems like each year since 2015 our lunch has been downgrading by the week. At first everyone thought the food was Crazy good but as the year went on the lunch became worst all of a sudden. Most of the time people just want nachos and because the lunches don’t be as good anymore. The school nachos are good to most people but others say that they don’t give enough meat. Some people just ask for no meat so they can just enjoy the chips. It really wasn’t that good it was just an upgrade from elementary.
Some people think there should be a certain order for lunch every day. But others think it should be whichever table is quiet. Many people don’t think that is fair because if you’re sitting with your friends it’s pretty obvious that you are going to talk. They don’t have time to talk anywhere else so why can’t they talk at lunch. People also think you should be able to sit anywhere because if you are at a boring table it is most likely going to put you in a not so good mood.
If we go around the school with a list and told students to check off a lunch to take off the menu forever there would be too many different lunches people would pick. I don’t think there would be any for sure answer that most people would pick. “I hate when we have to eat that nasty lasagna”. If we kept count on how many people didn’t eat their lunch everyday then we would have a good idea of which lunch should be eliminated. When some people are just hungry they eat the lunch and get a bad stomach ache in class. At least two days out of the week you will hear “I hate school lunch” in a very angry tone. Or you will hear “they don’t give you enough food” so they go around looking for people not eating their lunch. Then they get in trouble for being out of their seat but they are looking for food cause they didn’t get enough to be full.
Students can be very misleading a lot of the time, first they say “I hate school it is always disgusting” then they go and say “the lunch was too good”. Evan Bennett says he thinks we should fill out a paper at lunch that asks what you had for lunch and what rate it 1-5. He also said the paper should ask you what was the worst thing you ate on the tray; and would you recommend the lunch you had to stay. Many people think that is a good idea because if we take away the lunches that people don’t want there is less trash bags filling up. Most people will throw away things they didn’t eat and not donate which is very wasteful.
So if you eliminate the bad lunches we don’t have that problem anymore. About 80 percent of the school thinks that we should have plastic silverware instead of metal that gets washed. Many people have said every day that the silverware have been dirty after they have been “washed”. Even if the fork or spoon is clean it makes people uncomfortable to look at crusted silverware every day. If you went over a friend’s house and they give you a fork and it is all crusty on the part you put your mouth on you would wash it off or get a new one right?
Some lunch ladies don’t even give you the same amount as the person before you and it is not fair at all. Especially if it is nacho day they don’t really care about giving even lunches but they care if you cut in line. Many people cut in line so they don’t get the “bad” lunch or to hurry and get a salad when lunch is not good to them. People have said “why do you care if we cut but don’t care if they have more food on their tray then me”?!? Which is very unfair but that is how it works at school.
A good lunch is a very important part of the day for growing kids. If kids can’t get the nutrients they need for lunch their bodies won’t be able to function the same. Then you will not be thinking the same and will be getting problems wrong that you should get right. It is not good for you to be skipping lunch every 2 days because they “ran out” or nobody wants to eat the lunch. Many kids have said “my stomach hurts” and they always ask “do you have to go to the bathroom” but they didn’t eat anything to have to go.
The way the teachers call the tables to go to lunch should be changed. It should be a certain order to call every day. Teachers say it is a certain order but if the cafeteria is loud they pick whatever table is quiet. Kids don’t think that is fair because if you sit with all your friends of course you’re going to talk they don’t have any freedom to talk in class. Then when a table was supposed to go first they go last because the teacher is angry for some reason. That table that goes last gets the leftovers basically. There are no salads left no peanut butter and jelly and now you don’t have a lunch because its nasty. That’s why there should always be a good lunch to eat so nobody leaves hungry.
At first it seemed like everybody loved the lunch and it was very good but later in the year we seen more and more people upset after lunch because the food wasn’t good. The teachers can only imagine that the lunches are great but they don’t have to eat it themselves. Most the teachers disagree that the lunch is not good when they don’t eat it every day. Picture this delicious nachos on your tray that you can’t wait to eat. Then the next day nasty lasagna on your tray because there is no other option. No one knows for sure why they eat lasagna more than nachos because nobody in the school would pick that over nachos. Evan Bennett says “it is a proven fact that anyone is taking nachos over lasagna any day of the week”.
Aidan seem that Evan has hated the chicken quesadillas so much every time the school has it for lunch he gets peanut butter and jelly. But about a month later Lyric seen that Evan got the chicken quesadillas and ate it because he was hungry and there was nothing else to eat. Then after lunch Evan had a stomach ache so bad he couldn’t even walk at a normal pace. He stated “I was so hungry it was almost like my brain forced me to eat it I was starving and my table went last so I couldn’t get anything else to eat”. He said next time he will just have to starve because that lunch was disgusting.
Therefore over half of the school thinks you should eliminate the lunches that aren’t so good and have something that at least looks good. There should be a certain lunch line order no matter what is going on. Lunch ladies should give out only equal trays and not be stingy. Students should fill out a paper when they think the lunch should not come back to school and stay where ever it came from. We should start using plastic silverware instead of metal crusty silverware. Last but definitely not least we should be able to talk at lunch at all times except for when there is something really urgent to tell the whole cafeteria. That is why people have said lunch has continued to get worst year after year.
