I would love for my children to have adequate time to wat their lunch. My children come home hungry for a full meal instead of an after school snack. They tell me they sit down and hear " 7 more minutes " and barely get to eat half of their lunch. And then they are told to throw the rest away. This is hard earned money being thrown in the trash. Please, let's make this change for our children.

Our kids need extra time to eat. Let’s feed their bellies and their minds.

The kids really need more time to eat. It's essential for learning. We aren't supposed to rush to eat!

This is just not right for the little kids to not have enough time to eat a proper lunch when they are at school trying to learn.

My kindergartner and third grade both come home with 80-90% of their packed lunch DAILY and immediately scarf it down because they are so hungry throughout the day due to lack of time during lunch.

Children need to eat to learn focus and grow. This is absolutely insane.

Considering it takes 20 minutes for your stomach to even tell your brain your full. How do they expect kids to eat in 15. They’re sitting in the classroom still there’s no reason they should be limited to 15 minutes

This shouldn’t even be negotiable. Put the kids and their needs first and foremost.

My 4th grader doesn’t even have time to eat a simple lunchable and she isn’t a slow eater. My highschooler said there’s still a lot of kids in line when lunch ends. Something has to change.

I have a picky eater who struggles with anxiety during eating situations. The rushed lunches only increase that struggle. His locker is outside his classroom which takes a few minutes to get to and get settled back in. We’ve resorted to packing snacks just so he has something in his system, by the time he comes home he is complaining about being hungry or that his stomach hurt during school.

Both my kids come home from
School so hungry, they are wanting an entire meal when they get home! And the times I’ve packed their lunches, they rip into them as soon as they are out the doors from
School! It breaks my heart they are that hungry! They need more time!!

My daughters come home everyday starving! Even when they pack they say they only have time to eat 1 maybe 2 items. They do get snack time but they still are not getting the amount of food they need to stay considerated. Please add more time to their lunch! This is a necessity! My children are lucky enough to come home to food there are so many kids that lunch at school is their dinners also.
