Obesity is one of the leading causes of death in America. Have you ever noticed why in other countries, there is rarely any obesity? Especially in teens? Because they actually serve real and healthy food to students. A lot of students have complained of not enough healthy food choices in our school lunches, and many want to lose weight, or maintain it. Unhealthy foods such as fries, burgers, and pizza are put in front displays, yet we barely see any Heathly food choices at all. And if there are, they are hidden in a little corner were rarely any students go to at all. The tactic is not to place Healthy foods AND unhealthy foods together. It is to try to eliminate the temptations and try to cram the unhealthy foods in a little space where not a lot of people will go, just as they did with the small healthy selection, and have an even wider selection of fruits and vegetables and more natural selections and have them displayed where everybody can see them and be tempted to grab something healthy. Food addiction is an actual thing, sugar is as addictive as cocaine, and if the government will not do anything about it, then we as a community should speak up for the students that do want more healthier food options.

I have finished drafting a formal proposal detailing the requested changes to the lunchroom layout and menu selection. This document is currently being reviewed for submission to the district nutrition director. I will request an in-person meeting once the administrative team has had time to process these specific recommendations.

okay don't get me wrong, the chicken strips are crazy good. and the fries are bomb. but there's not many healthy options to choose from. they put boxed salads in the fridge and that's the only option they have. there's more healthy food then just salads. the chicken and other food they have is so good and that's why people would rather eat that than a salad. if they had more options maybe they'd choose to eat healthy
I workout and they need healthier options at lunch so I can keep my diet consistent.
There's no light needed to be shed onto this petition, why you ask? Because, first off, at OLCHS's there's already a crap ton of q-r posts with codes, telling you to let them know what you like and or dislike about what they are offering you, as in food quality and what not. Second, like any normal business, they are run on a budget and are given one through their company, Sodexo. So it's pretty crazy that you think just up and making a petition lIke this is going to catch their eye, to put even more food out, this means that if nothing is selling they are either raising the prices of those beloved curly fries or chicken tenders, up. Or, they are taking other food away to make up for the change in prices. In the past bringing in more healthy food, has absolutely not gone in the right direction, sure the "salad bar" could be managed better, but once again like stated up there in the comments, you could buy fruits and vegetables and bring them from home, where it's probably more cost efficient, and you could have a better quality diet and ways of being more healthy. Also if you really wanted to bring light to teenage obesity, talk to the current head of the lunchroom, the boss of the lunch staff. Work something out, instead of trying to make a petition, just because one person made it for donkey ball. One last thing, if I was head-honcho and I heard this, looking at it, would be the least of my priorities, before thinking about the rest of the lunch menu. Just some opinions voiced out here though, in all honesty this petition doesn't need to be here, you have a voice use it!
Kids now a days need to be made aware of what they are putting in their bodies and the effects of the food choices they make. This is something that needs awareness as this issue seems to only be getting bigger and bigger, quite literally. I only have one request, please don't mess with the spicy chicken sammich!
I think the students there really need to learn how to eat healthy

I agree there should be healthier options, like the salads and sandwich bar the school already has. While some other greasy, sugary options are nice to have, they should be a minority.
