Change #2: More healthy food guidelines

Food is like fuel for our bodies. If we give our bodies healthy food we are able to concentrate on our work and work to the best of our ability, but if we fuel our bodies with unhealthy food it does the exact opposite. Obviously we all enjoy the unhealthy foods and we typically have at least one piece of unhealthy food in our lunch a day, this should change. Schools should be more strict when it comes to the food students  bring to school and also what the school has as options to feed their students, ex. pizza lunch. I believe that if only healthy foods were brought and served at school, students would improve their school work. This would also benefit schools and teachers because their students will  be more attentive and enthusiastic, thus making their jobs alot easier. 


 A way to encourage students to make a healthy decision when eating is to show them how much they would gain by trading that cookie for an apple. Another is by having a certain day of the week where students are able to bring one unhealthy item to school, making the students think that they don't have to give up unhealthy food for good.
