School lunch. Is it awful, unhealthy and tasteless or is it a huge privilege we should be grateful for.? I think it's a huge privilege because not everyone gets a free meal at school, actually only students in Finland and Sweden do. I couldn't manage the whole school day without lunch. And it really isn't that bad, considering how little money they have spent on that. Besides that school lunch is free, it also teaches us manners and Finnish food culture and gives us a break to breathe.
The reason why people judge the school lunch is the small budget. Because the food is paid from our taxes, the budget can't be very high. But even the prisoners in jail get better food with more money than we do. And that's unbelievable. All the results and experience has shown that school lunch is worth paying for, even if students complain how horrible it is. You'd rather eat school lunch than get whipped, right.
I would say - if the choices are school lunch or getting whipped, the answer is clear, isn't it?
VastaaPoistaYou brought up a good topic. We here in Finland are definitely privileged to enjoy a free warm meal every day. True, there is no choice, and the budget is low but still, our brains need noursihment to work!
Me either could imagine the school day without lunch. And it's so much easier when you don't have to carry your own packed lunch in the bag all day. The school lunch is also cheaper and more healthy option than going to Hesburger for example.
VastaaPoistaIt's important that our lunch is free, otherwise many students wouldn't eat anything during the school day.
