Nutrition at School

What problem would you like to solve?

The problem I would like solved is foods given in schools.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

This is important to solve as being a youth myself who attends school currently and has to eat the school lunches, they are not nutritious and they do not taste good. Many times, I have found expired milk served to me and it is not fair that we have to wait until getting out of school and getting home to eat a decent meal. This is relevant to the community because healthy food can allow kids to have better health overall and possible decrease health concerns that are costly.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

An idea I have is to make more fresh recipes or have a cooking class that assists with making some school lunches during the day that are quick and easy. Also possibly adding more fruits or exchanging the milk for water.

Who would that help?

Youth
