According to a Daily Mail article, school lunches on average have less nutrition than prison food. This adds to the stigma of school lunches being “gross” and could turn students away from the food. But is this the case? I went through the halls of MHS to find out.
Sophomore Jackson Trester disagrees, saying, “I love the boneless wings. The barbecue ones are my favorite. Overall, I would rate them a 9/10.”
The boneless wings, a meal featuring about 6 pieces of sauce-covered chicken, a stick of celery, and a dinner roll, seemed to be a favorite among those interviewed who said they enjoyed school lunches.
Some people are not a fan of the lunches made by the school, but still enjoy the cuisine offered at lunchtime, specifically on Thursdays: Fusian Sushi. Senior Victoria Crabtree is one of these people.
“I really only eat lunch from the school on sushi day,” says Crabtree “The line is usually pretty long so you have to make sure you get there early or you risk not getting a good type of sushi.”
Not everyone likes what the school offers though. Junior Max Hobart tells us his side of the story.
“When I bought a lunch one time, I tried the fries and I didn’t like them,” says Hobart “They were under-cooked, cold, and in much need of some salt”
The lack of salt comes from a federal law restricting sodium in school lunches. In an interview, (Lunch lady name) gives the scoop on this legislation.
“There is a law that says we can’t put any sodium on our food,” says (Lunch Lady) She later went on to thank Michelle Obama for this law. She could also thank Sysco LLC., our food provider, for giving them all of the food that the lunch crew puts out.
So really how good are the lunches in our building? Get in line, grab your desired meal, punch in your student ID number and find out!
