More than 30 million children trundle through school cafeteria lines every day in the United States. Food and nutrition directors at school districts nationwide say that their trash cans are overflowing while their cash register receipts and diminishing as children toss out their lunch because they don’t like it or it’s not good. The students’ opinions on what should be served for lunch should be taken into consideration and maybe then schools would have overflowing trash cans and cash registers.
Some of the options served are; milk, juice, bread,chicken nuggets, fruit, cookies, cheese burgers.
