intro
School lunch is delicious to many kids tolerable to some kids. This is the latest on how children reflect on their school lunches. Hmmm I wonder..... is it good?
interviews
Many children say they dislike school lunch. One child says they love school lunch. A few children say the think school lunch is tolerable (wait--not yet.)
Lets look at some kids interviews, and onions, (which is another way of saying opinions, it's cute and foody) of the school lunch that they receive at P.S.10 in Brooklyn NY.

Q#1: How do you feel about the school lunch? It's nasty. I'd rather starve.
Q#2: Do you feel like the school lunch could change? Yes, please.
Q#3: If you could change anything on the school lunch menu, what would it be? More mozzarella sticks.
Q#4: What is your favorite food on the school lunch menu? Mozzarella sticks, because of the cheese.
Q#5: How do you feel about the salad bar? I wish they had more pickles. I think the lines should be shorter. I like the balsamic vinegar.
Q#6: Do you use the salad bar? Only when the line is short.
Q#7: Do you get hungry during the day? Yes.
Q#8: Do you think we have enough time to eat? No, I think we should have 1 hour to eat our food.
I think i might have some onions on this interview, Jasmin. I think the time is a bit overreacted, do you eat the food? Probably not, so why give an hour to do nothing, when the time could be spent educating. It will only give more time for you to sit around and do nothing but... talk, and I don't think teachers are going to agree with that! Also, wishing that the lines are shorter is a bit.....well..... Lets just say it sounds like it's never going to happen, because other children want to use the salad bar too! It would be hard to convince children to squish together, and become shorter..... Maybe that's not what she meant.
Ok, lets hear another interview from.....Eliana, also from class 4-407
Q#1: How do you feel about the school lunch? It's ok.
Q#2: Do you think that the school lunch could change? Yes.
Q#3: If you could change anything on the school lunch menu, what would it be? The burgers, first I would use real meat, not use the meat washed in chemicals, and not leave them sitting on a tray all night.
Q#4: What is your favorite foods on the lunch menu? Nothing.
Q#5: How do you feel about the salad bar? It's disgusting, they put it right next to the trash can, and all the salad tastes dry and old.
q#6: Do you use the salad bar? Not a lot.
Q#7: Do you get hungry during the day? Yes.
Q#8: Do you think we have enough time to eat? Yes.
Well then, lets hear some onions. Now, Eliana, its true, it might be uncomfortable standing in line in front of a trash can, but isn't it worth it? I think you can sacrifice some bad smells for a healthy body, can't you? Hmmm.....I've been thinking about that dry and old thing you mentioned, and I agree, the salad should not be dry! Here is a tip: Wet your salad before you get the dressing, this can make it taste fresh, and new! If you don't like the salad, why would you even go to the salad bar? Are there some things that you do like? Are you just assuming that the burgers are left on a tray all night----or is it fact?

a positive word from Roberto
Ok everyone, here's a word from Roberto, a school lunchfanatic fan. He oddly worships the school slop loves the school lunch. Here is his interview.
Ok everyone, here's a word from Roberto, a school lunch
Q#1: How do you feel about the school lunch? I feel good about it, it tastes good.
Q#2: Do you feel like the school lunch could change? No
Q#3: If you could change anything on the school lunch menu, what would it be?It would be mozzarella sticks, because it should taste like the ones at pizza places.
Q#4: What is your favorite food on the school lunch menu? Burgers, and chicken nuggets, because they are big burgers.
Q#5:
How do you feel about the salad bar? It's good, I like the cucumbers, and chickpeas.
Q#6: Do you use the salad bar? No
Q#7: Do you get hungry during the day? No, I could go 8 hours without eating anything!
Q#8: Do you think we have enough time to eat? Deffinatly not, we should have 36 minuts.
Ok, onions, onions, onions, time for onions. Roberto, I couldn't agree more, the chicken nuggets are one of the best foods on the school lunch menu, delicous and nutritious. How will you know what is your favorite thing on the salad bar menu if you never use it! Are you sure you haven't just used once? Do you think the pizza is good? Thats what i'd really like to know, does it taste like the pizza places? I know it doesn't for me! Well, I've never tried it, so how can I say I like it or not. I'll take your advive, maybe I will try it.....or maybe not. Are you sure you might just be able to go without food for two hours instead of eight hours? Well, maybe, maybe not. Also---the burgers--- there TINY!!! Maybe all humans have different ways of seeing bugers, because I know it i small to me!
Alot, and i mean alot of kids don't like it. The mozzarella sticks are a popular food, my personal favorite.

ReplyDeleteYour Aunt Lara clued me in to your blog and I think it's great! I also think you have a promising career as an innovative marketing professional, maybe a researcher? Thinking about school lunches, if you had to create a menu for a week, what would it be?
Keep writing -
