I chose this topic before teacher gave an example on one... and for some reason she had an example on my topic outta millions of topics.... and she used school gardens as an example to fix the health style of food in school....

I had the same idea, and now I don't want to use school gardens as the solution because she used it as an example and she would think I stole it from her and couldn't come up with anything else..... Thinking atm on how to fix school lunches any ideas would help.

can you describe what you think is the problem with school lunches? and are you talking college or grade school?

if "healthy" is what you're after, they can require certain formats. eg: protein main course, fat side (eg: almonds), veggie side, and only water instead of juice/soda

this might help

thx. I will probably do the idea of providing a organic salad bar... cause face it all the stuff at school is fake. Will require lots of money though.

perhaps provide calories/calories from fat along with total carbs, fat, and protien next to where the the food choices are listed.

if the numbers are right there people tend to factor them into their choice.

Yeah that would be a great idea as well... but really wouldn't fix the nutritious values... like at my college... I go to the cafeteria and all they have is burgers, pizza, fried greasy stuff..... Never went again.... Could at least put in salad bars or make salads and put them in the fridges..... They have those turkey sandwiches but that stuff is just so fake...

salad bar eh, id say like 5 health foods a day offered.

entre, 2 side dishes, appatizer, and desert

steamed broccli or steamed carrots with alittle butter for a side dish

some kind of salad as an appitizer, cole slaw, italian, maccoroni, spinach, ceasar, tossed

apples, carrots, or celery with pnut butter for desert, wedge of water mellon, fruit cocktail, fruit and yogurt

and then a relativly health entre, like whole wheat noodles with spagetti sauce, chili chock full of beans and tomatoes, beef stew with lots of carrots and potatoes
