Should school canteens only serve Healthy food?

Answer 1

ONE REASON IS BECAUSE IT CAN SOMETIMES BE GROSS

AnswerArguments for:

1. lower obesity weight among children

2. better ability to concentrate among students due to more vitamins in food

3. schools offer free or reduced lunched to lower income levels...it is recognized that children who are in low income homes do not get the required nutrients as a whole

4. serving healthy foods at school promotes healthy eating outside of school

Arguments against:

1. In schools where lunches are serves a la carte, students will not purchase as much if only offered healthy options

2. some schools get funding from companies that provide "junk" food

Answer 2

That's going to depend what you think is "unhealthy". Sodas and candies should not be on the lunch menu. Oven-baked French Fries would be preferable to deep fried, but cook time might be too long and the supply might not keep up with the lunch line. Perhaps you would rather see whole grain breads instead of white bread. Whole grain breads are usually a significantly higher cost. Fruits and veggies should be available. Most foods in moderation are quite acceptable. Food that is served to the students should provide them with appropriate nutrition and energy needs, but also needs to be familiar and tasty enough so that they will eat it instead of throwing it away. It can be a very delicate balancing act. I worked in a school lunch commissary for a while. The favorite was Pizza Week.

School lunches should definetly be healthy because it lacks nutrients and has lots of fats in it. School lunches can cause diarhea, obesity, or Diabetes type 2
