I went to eat school lunch with my daughter and I was very shocked by what was served. The bananas were pure green in color, a little portion of lettuce, a scoop of refried beans that had been sitting out for a long period of time which also had no flavor and a tiny portion of chicken fat in a tortilla that tasted like cardboard. I then posted the photo to social media only to get responses that this is the kind of school lunch that is served all over the United States sometimes even worse than that. I want to come up with a solution to the problem. We need to petition these lunches and demand better lunches for our children. Better lunches at the schools that are lacking in the nutrition area. This petition is important to me because I am being a voice for the children that don't get proper lunches for school. I saw so many children throw their food away that day which means they went hungry that entire day. Imagine children trying to stay on task, pay attention, follow directions and not act out because they are starving from an unedible lunch they were served. This is not every school but this is majority of schools around the United States and an ongoing problem. These lunches need to be better regulated and served edible to children so they are able to get a good meal. Good nutrition equals good education.
