It seems school children all over the world don’t like their school food. So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?
Japan
High schools have dining rooms, which serve everything from noodles to rice, but not hamburgers and chips. Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls, meat of fish and vegetables. Students take home a menu for the coming month with notes on nutrition value(营养价值). The class with the fewest leftovers(剩饭) at the end of the month receives a prize.
United States
A menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with potatoes or chicken, fruit and cookies. School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily vitamin(维生素) A, vitamin C, iron(铁), calcium(钙) and calories(卡路里).
Australia
Hot dogs are traditional dishes in Australia school shops. But as the country pays more attention to children’s health, healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus.
Many schools have used a traffic light system(系统). The sale of red-labeled foods, including chocolate and soft drinks, is served only twice a week. Healthier green-labeled foods such as sandwiches, corn and watermelon, however, are provided every day.
South Africa
Most of South Africa’s schools do not provide meals at all. Classes end at 1:30 p.m. and students get their own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches.
Fast food sells the best among students. But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different illness, some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition. Now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge(粥) with vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots and tomatoes.
