The reason the kids are so drawn to the unhealthy food is that the healthy alternative tastes horrible. I graduated from High School is '04, and I'll testify to the fact that the only edible food was pizza and french fries. My entire senior year I never ate in the cafeteria. Also, all the places around the school were fast food restaurants. Plus, even with the one healthy place, there wasn't time to order and eat. School lunches cost almost as much as a meal at off campus places. So why not have restaurants such as Jason’s Deli provide food to the school. This would reduce costs for the school; it would cut down on staff and maintenance for the stoves and other equipment. With the money saved, you could help the poorer students by paying for part of their meal. Plus it also helps the business, which in turn helps the local economy, which creates more revenue, which generates more taxes, which go back to the school…am I missing something here? Please tell me what you think.
