Cafeteria food
Does your school cafeteria serve healthy food? If some of the choices of meals at your school were healthy, and some were the usual pizza/burgers/fries kind, would you pick the healthy choices? Why or why not?

but arent we all a bit cocky about the pros and cons of eat poorly and greatly but mainly poorly? yes of couse the healthy food in the snck machines is more expance but is becosue we of more resors to food in place like japen and cuba e.t.a. but like emeril said "its isnt rockit sicnce" it can be also child play to make health food aswell

I think that we should have two choices istead of just one. Yeah it's mostly healthy but sometimes it to healthy. We should have some un-healthy things like a cookie.

I think that some schools should have a little bit of sugar because it kepps us kids going, ha ha. It is ok to have a little bit of junk food but you shouldn't get hyped up on it all the time!! it isn't healthy!:P

Ya mia that would be cool if we could have more that one choice a day but the food would have to be good instead of yucky cafeteria food!

At other schools people have a choice between 2 meals a day, I think that would be awesome if all schools did that this way you have more then one choice.

I think every school should ONLY sell healthy foods, this way everyone can eat healthy. The should also make the food cheaper then junk food so people think that since it's cheaper they'll buy it instead. But having a sugary snack is waht sometimes keeps some kids going throughout the day! For me if I have a pop I will be ready for anything! So they should also sell a little bit of junk food with their healthy lunches!

The food could be better but i wish we had like subway instead of just panago everyday. you get tired of it after a while!!!

I would chose to have healthy food because if you eat junk food all day you won't be able t learn RIGHT!!! but it is ok to have a cookie or something.
