City Finally Does something About Students Ashamed to Eat School Lunch

Shame no more in Free School Lunch

As we know lunch is an important meal of the day, and it is eating at school. It help our metabolism and also give us energy for the rest of the day. The nutrition is important specially for kids, It helps our bodies and brains grow and develop into the way that they are supposed to.

The free school lunch for all program announced Wednesday by New York City schools Chancellor  Carmen Farina will expand eligibility to at least an additional 200,000 student-including not just those at public schools but also charter schools and private schools.

Having a free school lunch does a lot help for the parents who has a low income specially when you're living in New York City, and its not just all about the money that they can save, it also benefits the students on what type of food they are serving for example (Fruits and Vegetables). If their parents is to give them money for lunch they might just but pizza or junk food which is obviously  not healthy foe them.

When serving a Free School Lunch it needs to be presentable and looks fresh so students will think positive instead of having second thoughts not eating the free food just because it doesn't looks nice. Another thing is the time, a lot of people doesn't have time to cook healthy food, most of the people have to work in New York City and for them its easier to buy fast food outside. One example is about my sister that has three kids, she has to work and go to school. She does't have enough time to cook, but her mother cook for her and her kids which help her to save money and eat healthier food.
