School meals are healthier than in the past, with more fresh fruit and vegetables, but some schools still serve unhealthy choices like chicken nuggets, chips, pizza and other junk food.
What’s the problem? The problem with junk food is that it has high levels of sugar, salt and fat. It might taste good but it makes us put on weight. It can also cause serious illnesses.
What can we do? We can take our own food to school. A chicken sandwich with a bowl of salad and an apple or some orange juice are tasty and healthy! We can also ask the canteen to serve food and drinks which are low in sugar, salt and fat such as salads and fruit juices. If school canteens improve service and food quality, students could have healthier food choices!
