High School Cafeterias
Study after study has suggested that eating a diet full of vitamins, minerals, and fiber can help people lead longer, healthier lives. However, finding healthy foods in the high school cafeteria can sometimes be difficult. The cafeteria serves a variety of choices to students: pizza, hot dogs, cheeseburgers, french fries, and tater tots. Though students have many choices, few of these foods can be considered healthy. Where are the vitamin- and fiber-packed fruits and vegetables? Where are the sandwiches made with whole wheat bread?
If it is so important for people to eat healthy foods, then the cafeteria should set up a salad bar where students can load up on vegetables and fresh fruit. Cafeteria managers should also consider offering items such as low-fat yogurt, steamed vegetables, and whole wheat pasta.
Because students like variety, the food in the cafeteria should be changed from hot dogs to fruits and vegetables.
Food in the cafeteria is not health and is non-nutritious for students.
Since healthy foods mean longer life, cafeterias should have healthier options for students to choose from.
