Lunches in us high schools are lacking adequate nutritional value. the menus have become increasingly varled over the past two decades, and
they are varled to a fault. now high school students can choose between healthy main dishes and "junk food" items offered à la carte on the
school menu. milkshakes and fries are often the lunch of cholce for america's youth. fourteen-year-old allra sanson from grand rapids,
michigan, admits, "i love my high school's menu. it is much better than middle school food. i eat a giant chocolate chip cookle and a bag of chips
for lunch every day-because i can." the middle school menu allra refers to is the government-regulated hot lunch mandated in elementary and
middle schools across the nation. lunches at the high school level are often under site-based management, and food service officials are under
pressure to provide food that sells. this pressure renders unhealthy choices, and the resulting menus are detrimental to students.
