Let's start with the good. We get to have Pizza Hut pizza everyday. Don't fret, we don't just get the plain old cheese pizza. My school offers 4 different pizzas - cheese, pepperoni, veggie, and, my personal favorite, Hawaiian. We also serve other entrees, but the safe bet is always pizza.
Now the unhealthy, I know kids who will have 2 Izze's and a malt cup for lunch, no entree whatsoever. What probably went through your mind just then was one of t
wo things: 1) what is an Izze, or 2) Your school serves malt cups to students on a daily basis? First of all, an Izze is a carbonated juice drink, which comes in 4 flavors. Secondly, yes our school serves malt cups daily along with Italian ice cream, Rips (100% juice slushies), rice crispy treats, cookies, and baked potato chips. To top it all off we also have 4 vending machines.Now the just plain weird. Have you ever heard of a school that serves quiche to students? No... well our school does. They serve quiche as the vegetarian option on some of our school days. Other weird lunch choices include stuffed pasta shells, "pork chop patty on a bun," and the buffalo chicken sandwich.
One aspect of our school lunches needs to receive a honorable mention as the most thrown away. It is thrown away by almost every student in the school. You might guess it's fruit or vegetables that are getting thrown away, but you would be wrong. The answer is the breadsticks that come with pizza. Nearly 3/4 of lunch buyers will buy pizza, this comes with the dreaded breadstick. These sticks are horrible, they have no taste, are dry, and just don't taste good. Very few of these breadsticks actually get digested, they go straight into the trash seconds after students pay for their lunch. Somewhere a landfill is full of my school's breadstick waste.
These are the dos and don'ts of middle school lunch food.
whatever u said is true but how can we get something we like and still have it be heathy????
