I think that more people should put their attention on the school foods that are being served five days a week to the students.  The foods that are served in the school cafeteria are not really healthy for the students.  The meals are mostly fast foods like burgers, french fries, chicken wings, etc.  These types of foods are easy to make and cheaper to buy.  But yet they are the most fattening and unhealthy food out there.  They are loaded with carbs, fats, sugars, and high calorie.  It was said that 94% of the school lunches did not meet the USDA standards.  Even though many of the students know that the school lunches are unhealthy, they still decide to buy them anyways.  And schools will keep on selling them because they know that the students like the fast foods.  Also, at most schools, there are vending machines that sell unhealthy snacks  for a high price.  These food are expensive but students would be craving sweets or chips during the day so obviously, they will buy it.  Because schools sell unhealthy meals and snacks, more people should put their attention and make a change.
