These processed foods do not include the nutritional value teens need. Processed foods are more convenient for schools because they don’t take long to cook and can be bought in bulk for a lower cost. While it may be a lower cost and more convenient, we should care more about the health and education of our students. This all works together to help determine the success of students. If teens do not have a proper diet, they won’t be able to function properly at any level—mental, emotional, or physical. When students are shown what a proper diet is, they will be more likely to make better choices outside of school as well. One potential solution to this problem would be working with local farms to get fresh produce and fresh fruits. This would benefit both the farmers and the schools.
