OPINIONS WRITING PREVIEW

SCHOOL CAFETERIA FOOD:


    The one thing most students say about school food is that, it's disgusting. Not many people have a taste for school lunches for breakfast, its the taste and look of it that scares off the students. S.O.S is that the students say when they are in the lunch line waiting for death to happen in their stomachs.

  Spaghetti, sandwiches, pizza, chicken nuggets, etc. I've had school lunch and some of it is not all that bad but also i gag at the smell of it. Austin AISD took some of the food away that we actually liked because it wasn't healthy, but is the food they're serving us now really healthy? or is it worse? Nobody really knows except for the people that make it for us, but i guess it's not that bad sense they're serving it to us.

  I've heard the craziest things ever about cafeteria food, some you can believe but then some are too crazy to even process.  "One time in third grade i found a band aide in my rice, and it had blood on it", "There was a piece of hair in my spaghetti", "i heard that the chicken nuggets are made out of horse meat". All these things have been said, but how many are true? I honestly don't really like the food but i do like their meatballs and mac and cheese, i used to love their hotdogs but sadly hotdogs was taken of the menu when the UN healthy stuff was taken away.
