The school lunch portion sizes are too small and hardly enough to sustain energy for the rest of the day. At my school people are starting to either switching to bringing a packed lunch, or paying more money to get extra of the main entree. One day we had cheesy bread, the circumference of it was about 5 inches and I'd hardly call it "cheese". The rest of the food was just salad and fruit. Somedays we have a double dose of carbs and fruit. Cutting down on the portion sizes just makes the United States children unhealthier, therefore defeating the purpose of it in the first place. Instead of forcing kids to have more fruit, just ENCOURAGE them to. Also I need to mention that the prices of the lunches have gone up after you have put this change into effect, at my school anyway.
