Schools in some countries have often supplied free lunch to a limited number of their students. These meals tend to include a variety of foods, including salads and desserts. Nowadays, there are programs that provide such lunches to all students. Many in favor of the programs want them to continue.
Supporters point to the benefits. Studies show a relationship between nutrition and how well students do in school. Therefore, providing a healthy meal for all students is important. Doing this can improve their concentration levels, leading to better test scores. Additionally, free school meal programs have another advantage. Many parents today are often extremely busy, giving them little time to prepare lunches for their children. The programs, therefore, are a huge help. This is because parents of all students will be able to spend more time on work and other child-raising issues.
Critics, on the other hand, say that providing school meals for everyone is problematic. Schools need to prepare enough meals every day for all students. However, some students do not completely eat the food that has been prepared. Consequently, a large amount is left over. The schools have no option but to throw it away.
