That’s a good idea having healthy food, as much as it possible, at school, instead of junk food. I agree, that family has main role in forming good habits, but negative environment can affect on it. On the other hand, if kids don’t have that healthy eating habits at home, at least they can get it at school. So, school, teachers, should positive impact on students in every aspect. And yes, kids better have breaks, not as playing games on a PC, but go outside and have more physical activities. So, parents, schools and etc. together should form healthy, safe, and positive environment for our young generation.

Eating healthy MUST be taught at home in the household first. Children that are overweight learn habits that begin at home. These kids eat Ramon noodles, little Debbie cakes, chips and fast food constantly. They will do nothing but waste food by throwing the vegetables away simply because they don’t like it. If the school system wants to help the children become healthier than physical activity is the best! Require more movement, exercise breaks, or activities. We need less computer time and more movement time.

Stay aware of meals that nutrition as well as balance of choices. Children should go outside the boundary, explore of meals if possible. Around the world themes and other food culture. Only suggestions, meal shouldn’t be basic on what home. If possible what’s going on in the world. Food is the best part of young people lives. Feeling good, eating good. Having a good feeling about food and it purpose.

I agree with Colleen. Waste of money trying to create nutritional meals. Kids eat what they have gotten used to since infancy. These “starving “ children prefer fast food over vegetables any day

100% agree with Colleen. I dont care how healthy a meal is. If they won’t eat it, there’s no nutritional value.

I would like to see students provided with meals that they will actually eat. Students will get entire meals and throw them away because of what is in the meal or because of taste. Some of these students will then bring bags of chips and drinks to eat with their meals or as a meal so they have something to eat. For students wellness, not only should they be provided with healthy choices, but they must be given food choices that they will actually eat.
