We have experienced what type of food is being served in the cafeteria with the lack of school supervision over nutritious meal and healthy diet. Most of the time the food are kept frozen or the same food are being served the whole week. We want to see a change in lunch menu so kids can have the chance to get a more nutritious meal.
We have also worked in food service before and witness how many calories people are partaking per day. It is very common to see grade school kids going to different fast good restaurant to grab some food after they leave school. As experience workers from fast food restaurants, we can say that the meal often contain high level of fat and calories paired with a soft drink that also contains high amounts of sugar.
Finally we have experienced what a unhealthy diet as a child can do to our bodies and growth. When you are young, you may not pay much attention to your health and body and will consume many unhealthy food. But as you get older, sometimes you will have to bear the consequences of being overweight or having high cholesterol due to the amount of unhealthy food you eaten when you were younger. We want your older self to be more healthy and this can start at a young age.
