Please Sir may I have some more?
I always found myself unsatisfied with the small portions provided by school lunches. When I went to elementary school in California, I remember the quality level of food being pretty decent, but who am I kidding I was in elementary school. Everything back then tasted good, and they always left me asking for more. But the school wasn't really serving lunch for kids like me.
I suppose that more people brought their lunches in my elementary school than bought lunch. I honestly believe that the target group for school lunches are really the kids that don't have the money to spend on fancy packed lunches. In my elementary, middle, and high school, the large majority of students that bought lunch we not paying full price for their meals. The state was either subsidizing or covering the price of the lunch. For this reason alone, I believe that the state should really focus it's efforts on getting a well balanced meal. For some students get most of their daily nutrition from the school lunch.
This really presents the government with a problem though, because they will have to increase the quality but cover the price increase, if there is one, for most of the people who buy lunch. I have no solution for this, except make the lunches so good that everyone will want to buy lunch even if they can their own lunch.
