Can we make school lunch great again?

<p></p>

Enough of trying to make America great again, let’s makes school lunch great again. 

Cass Technical High school has a student body over 1,500 and it is sad to say that more than half go hungry each day from skipping lunch. 

Doreen Holmes a lunch aid at Cass Tech said, “School lunch needs to go back to the old days."

Holmes argues that school lunch was much more enjoyable before the Obama administration put forth the health act to insure all children ate a healthy lunch at school. 

Holmes said she believes students should have varieties on their lunch menu instead of one thing for that day. 

Freshman Noah Howard sits at the lunch table everyday during fourth hour looking at the lunch being thrown into the waste baskets. He said thinks the lunch is nauseating compared to his old Bloomfield Hills school lunch where he had gourmet lunch and hot breakfast every day. 

Sophomore Kenneth Manley Jr. said he believes the lunch is perfect the way it is.

“Without the school lunch I would be hungry until 8 p.m. Monday through Friday because of football practice and homework," he said.

Manley said the lunch fits is diet perfectly and it keeps him with tons of energy.
