Students at Jimmy Carter Early College High School raise concerns about possible food waste.
“I think it’s pretty healthy, but I do know it’s hard for some students to eat it cuz they don’t like how it tastes,” Carolina Amador said.
Sophomore Kevin Martinez shared that on most days, he ends up throwing the food away. Students then progress through the day without appropriate nutrition or calories to maintain them.
“I will often find myself falling asleep in class cus’ I don’t have enough energy,” Martinez said.
“It does; I tend to get headaches after not eating, so what I do is just bring something from home,” Amador added.
“I think it’s a good idea because it’s kinda what kids eat at home, so if it’s available at school, I’m sure they’ll eat it in place of what they don’t know what to eat,” Amador said.
“Pues si se puede, nada mas que ahorita por la pandemia y todo eso, estamos enfocadas en un solo menú,” lunch staff said.
