What was your favorite school lunch? Would it meet the current nutritional guidelines.

Miranda Jones

My favorite school lunch was nachos. They were the nachos with the salty tortilla chips, liquid cheese, and questionable ground beef. There is no way this would meet the current nutritional guidelines as there are absolutely no vegetables or fruits. Looking back, I can't believe this was served at lunch.

Ann Zop

My favorite school lunch was sloppy joes. I don't remember what it was served with, but I think it would have been french fries or something like that. If the sloppy joes were served with a vegetable and were on a whole wheat bun, it might meet the nutritional guidelines.

Drew

I think My Favorite lunch would have had to been pizza or chicken burgers, I remember always taking an apple and milk with it. So if I did then it would meet the requirements.

Mine was nachos, being able to add whatever you want on them. And not being told theirs a limit. I was in heaven when I had nachos..

My favorite lunch was chicken sandwich carrots and pears and milk.That dose meet the nutritional guide. It gave me my grain vegetables fruits protein and dairy

Brett Turner

6/11/2015 03:45:15 am

My favorite lunch was a hamburger and fries. It was served with a dairy product and also an optional fruit or veggie side instead of fries. If I picked the optional side dish then it would meet the current nutritional requirement.

Jessica Enebo

My favorite school lunch was pizza and salad. This met the nutritional requirements when it was paired with the milk and an apple.

cindy

6/13/2015 09:00:37 am

My favorite lunch was chicken salad with italian dressing. I also get an apple, a carton of milk, a cookie, and a bag of chips. I think i have enough nutrition with this type of lunch

Ruth W.

6/17/2015 03:21:54 pm

My favorite school lunch was mash potatoes with chicken, a roll, milk, and a fruit and vegetable. I think that it would have met the standards.

Serena

6/26/2015 11:14:24 am

I always packed my own lunches, so I went with food that was quick and easy rather than nutritional. I liked peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with fruit snacks or an apple and some sort of juice. This meal definitely didn't meat the nutritional guidelines, except that it included bread and a fruit.

Kathryn Mills

7/1/2015 07:58:48 am

I always liked the taco salad bar at lunch.

Mallery Luke

7/6/2015 09:56:04 am

My favorite school lunch was nachos. This included chips, melted cheese, and ground beef with taco seasoning. We also had a veggie bar but I rarely got food from it. Many of the fruits and vegetables were canned and the fresh ones were not really fresh. This definitely did not meet the requirements.

Emily

7/14/2015 02:58:56 am

my favortie lunch was the salad bar. it would meet most requirements if you made the right choices. by choosing vegetables and not the fatty dressings.

Jeremy

7/19/2015 12:55:34 pm

I did not have a favorite school lunch. The lunches were usually very nasty

Shawna Calvert

7/20/2015 12:10:55 pm

My favorite meal was Turkey gravy over potatoes. with a vegi and Milk. So yes it met requirements.

Brooke

7/21/2015 06:49:12 am

My favorite lunch as a kid was, for sure, the pizza. Unfortunently it doesnt meet the food requirements for the day. It was too fatty. although the cheese did count for dairy and maybe the crust counted for bread. but everything would have been out weighed by the fatty grease.

Teraza

7/25/2015 10:30:54 am

My favorite lunch was chicken sandwich carrots and pears and milk.That dose meet the nutritional guide. It gave me my grain vegetables fruits protein and dairy

My favorite launch was pizza and sprite. no it wouldn't

yvonne

7/26/2015 03:20:00 am

chicken sandwich and salad bar..i believe it would make nutritional requiements

Saida C.

7/26/2015 01:22:36 pm

My favorite school lunch was a chicken burger paired with a side salad (no dressing or light dressing), choice of milk, and fruit. This would meat the nutritional guidelines. A grain, vitamin C, and milk which if it was low fat would provide calcium.

Delia Farrell

7/27/2015 04:25:15 am

My favorite school lunch was pizza, they gave me a milk and fruit with my meal but it still wouldn't meet the requirements. The pizza was greasy and fatty.

Victoria A Weaver

8/1/2015 08:14:48 am

My favorite lunch was 'Italian Dunkers'. I was essentially left over chili on top of a toasted hot dog bun with cheese. It was served with a side of salad, fruit, milk or water, and a cookie. This probably meets the nutritional guidelines, but it still not really nutritionally sound.

Taylor thames

8/2/2015 11:36:45 am

My favorite school lunch was pizza and ranch. And it wouldn't meet any of the standards that i would give my kids

karlee mcmanus

8/3/2015 12:23:03 pm

my favorite school lunch was when I was in elementary school and it was always right before thanksgiving and they would serve a BBQ chicken leg and mashed potatoes and gravy and little mini pumpkin pie. yes it would meet the expectations and regulations.

Sherry

8/11/2015 01:37:09 am

Mac and cheese was my favorite and no it would not meets standards. There was whole milk to drink and no fruits or veggies.

kiera link

8/11/2015 05:47:59 am

my favorite lunch was the chicken nuggets with mashed potatoes a roll veggies/or fruit, and a carton of milk. Yes it met the requirements.

Juliana Davis-Marxer

8/12/2015 05:24:49 am

My favorite school lunch was grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup. I would usually have my lunch with some type of fruit and a milk. I'm assuming if they switched the bread to whole wheat and made the tomato soup with nonfat milk or water it would meet the current nutrition standards for school lunches. (however, they still serve this lunch on white bread)

Elise

8/21/2015 10:23:09 am

My favorite was peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I always had a fruit and some crackers with a juice. This meets the requirements.

Elena

8/25/2015 01:05:07 pm

Mine was rice and beans, the only thing it was missing were vegetables/fruits

Alicia Dickson

8/25/2015 02:39:51 pm

My favorite lunch was a meat and cheese sandwich with chips in the sandwich. Then my mom would pack a fruit or her super yummy fruit salad! I don't think it would meet the nutrition requirements now a days.

Madison

9/5/2015 08:32:01 pm

Growing up, I was the worlds pickiest eater. So when I went to school, I always had my lunch packed. It included a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, nacho cheese Doritos, some sort of chocolate, and fresh fruit. She would always give me lunch money to purchase a milk carton though. She did what she could, but most of the time I traded my fruit with someone else.

maricella link

9/7/2015 05:28:24 pm

my favorite school lunch was mash potatoes and gravy with shredded beef and a bread roll.I think the only thing healthy was the milk and fruit/veg choices but I wouldn't consider instant potatoes and salty gravy ,healthy.

Claudia Martinez

9/7/2015 11:47:45 pm

Yes, My favorite school lunch was chicken patty on a bun/fries. It was always paired with fruit/veggies and milk.

Zachary Scott

9/14/2015 09:46:57 am

My absolute favorite lunchtime meal is a peanut butter sandwich with either honey or syrup and some milk and maybe and apple. I would think that it meets most of the required nutrition levels.

Leah L'Rae Wonders

9/15/2015 02:14:12 pm

My favorite school lunch in elementary school was potatoes and gravy, they had potatoes and gravy with turkey and I'd always get a chocolate milk too. I can't remember about fruits veggies though.. So I know I didn't get all the requirements.

In middle school it was pizza and I'd always get a salad with it, carrots and ranch, and grapes or an apple since I'm pretty picky with fruit. I also knew the lunch lady so she would be nice and let me get a fruit if there was one out I didn't like.

Michael Eng

9/21/2015 02:35:19 pm

DEFINITELY NOT!!! Favorite school lunch was chili cheese fries and ice cream cookie sandwich. To be 16 years old again! Boom!

Elizabeth T Mason

9/23/2015 06:46:08 pm

Coffeecake muffin, so no

Olivia Margoshes

9/25/2015 05:10:04 pm

I always brought my lunch so I didn't have a favorite school-provided lunch. From what I saw on other people's trays, though, my school rarely provided vegetables and fruit was offered but no one was required to take it.

Emily

9/26/2015 10:48:00 am

I was homeschooled, so my mom was the one who made us lunch. She always did a good job of providing nutritious meals and snacks, and encouraged us to eat healthy once we were old enough to make our own snacks. My favorite was usually chicken nuggets served with honey or barbecue sauce, and she always made sure we had a couple carrot sticks to go with it at the very least.

Robert Lee

9/26/2015 02:00:33 pm

I never ate lunch at school but my friends all liked the pizza. The pizza would pass today's nutrition standards.

Andre Graham

9/29/2015 02:46:19 pm

My favorite food at school growing up was hamburgers and fries! I believe it would meet the nutritional standards of today although I would not consider the food I consumed in school healthy.

Dillon Kramer

9/29/2015 08:42:12 pm

I loved nachos in highschool because i loaded them up with beans and lettuce. always grabbed a milk and a grape fruit drink

Ashleigh

10/4/2015 02:10:35 pm

I never ate school lunch.

Katie Cook

10/6/2015 01:26:23 pm

i hardly ate school lunch but when i did i would sometimes get pizza with salad chocolate milk, or a bagel with cream cheese and fruits with chocolate milk. Home lunch i would have a sandwich with turkey or ham on it with mayo. chips, capri sun, apple or some sort of fruit and veggies and some sort of dessert like a cookie.

Robyn

10/18/2015 05:10:42 pm

I do not remember having a favorite school lunch. I do recall that we were given Milk, a main dish with meat, veggies, fruit and bread. School lunch would have been up to par on today's standards.

Meghan

10/22/2015 11:27:48 am

My favorite was a chicken burger with mashed potatoes and optional veggies & milk. If I chose the veggies & milk then it would!

maranda morton

10/24/2015 02:18:13 pm

My favorite was pizza which was served with an optional salad and tator tots. Im not sure it would meet nutritional guidelines becuase there isnt any whole grains or anything high in vitamins

Maria Loredo

10/25/2015 02:47:58 pm

My favorite school lunch was nachos. Although there was beans and cheese i was still provided with many choices of veggies to go on top. We also had a choice of fruit or more veggies before paying. Also white or chocolate milk was available.

Rachel Berry

10/28/2015 12:33:18 pm

This is a tough question because I can only remember eating school provided lunch in elementary. In jr high, I brought my lunch and high school had an open campus so I bought lunch in town.
I remember there being a recurring mashed potatoes and gravy lunch in elementary. I think that was my favorite. I don't recall there being any meet or meet substitute. There was some kind of vegetable though and milk. So I don't think it would meet the standards for WA.

Amanda

10/28/2015 09:01:12 pm

My favorite lunch at school was the sloppy joes. They were served on the regular white hamburger buns. I can't remember what they served on the side, but I still always got the mixed fruits and broccoli or celery.

Natalie Rapp

11/15/2015 02:46:19 pm

My favorite school lunch was cheese zombie day! These included cheese, bread and tomato soup. In elementary school, we had to leave the cafeteria with two sides (usually some type of veggie or fruit) and a milk carton on our tray. We were sometimes allowed a treat (like a fruit juice Popsicle). I think that by requiring the children to put other items on their tray, it would help meet the standards. I'm sure now when they serve this item it has less fat content and healthier ingredients than when I went to school.

Benjamin

11/17/2015 03:07:00 pm

I always loved when my cafeteria served pizza. In retrospect, it was a greasy, cheesy mess, and satisfied almost no nutritional requirements (aside from the carrots which came with it, which we all threw away).

Dassah Ortiz

11/17/2015 10:49:37 pm

My favorite school lunch was the sub sandwiches. They came with our choice of meat, cheese and , sauce. Then we could add our choice of veggies. I would normally get milk and fruit. So my lunch meat all the food groups.

Amanda Phillips

11/18/2015 01:19:27 pm

My favorite school lunch was mashed potatoes and turkey gravy, and was usually served with a vegetable and fruit. It had protein, fruit, vegetables, potatoes, and dairy, so it would meet the guidelines, although the gravy was probably high in sodium.

Samantha

11/21/2015 02:03:25 pm

My favorite school lunch was fried chicken and mashed potatoes with a side salad and some apples. Kids rarely ate the fresh portion of the meal because the fried chicken and potatoes were so filling, so it did not really meet the mandatory nutritional requirements. But it sure met my belly's requirements.

Deana

11/27/2015 02:09:48 pm

In Elementary school it was pizza day! In High School they started the hamburger bar and I loved that. I would always choose several veggies for toppings and even if I didn't choose them, there was a variety offered. That would have satisfied the nutrition criteria. And who can forget those hot buttered rolls? Always my fav. :)

Lorena martinez soto

11/27/2015 04:47:31 pm

My favorite was pizza, in a certain way it was nutritionist because of the cheese and salad.

Kayla

11/28/2015 05:19:39 pm

Salad Bar!!! yes it meets guidlines

Dylan

11/29/2015 04:15:51 pm

My favorite lunch would probably be Chicken sandwiches. And it wouldn't meet the requirements now days.

McKenzie Conner

12/1/2015 08:50:03 pm

Pasta and marinara sauce... The way my lunch was served wouldn't meet these requirements but it could be altered to meet requirements. Wheat/multi grain noodles, veggie/tomato marinara, cheese, salad on the side or steamed broccoli

Kiara McCallum

12/3/2015 11:29:19 am

My mother usually packed my lunches for me but I would eat school lunch as well and I loved the chicken sandwiches. I also enjoyed the warm rolls and mashed potatoes. It met the requirements because I was served milk, fruits and veggies and meat that was served at the proper temperature.

Breaunah Jacobs

12/6/2015 05:49:21 pm

My favorite school lunch was pizza! Sure it could have been altered to make it fit the requirements but other kids rarely ate the other healthy options because they were boring and lacked flavor. In order to make sure students are eating within the necessary requirements make healthy food that tastes great such as pizza packed with yummy roasted vegetables and leaner meats. You could also make a fruit salad for something a little sweet on the side.

Mary Squiers

12/7/2015 02:51:23 pm

I went to a private school, so we had brown bag lunches packed by parents. Once a month, we were given 'hot lunch' by a nearby restaurant. My favorite was Subway - sandwiches, chips, and milk. It wasn't the unhealthiest, but it surely lacked veggies and fruit.

Patricia

12/8/2015 01:14:50 pm

My favorite lunch was veggie soup and salad or tuna sandwich and salad. Loved my greens...

Audrey Heeren

12/12/2015 09:36:53 am

My favorite lunch was hot dogs and cheetohs. If you added apples and milk, it would come closer to meeting the guidelines.

Rachel Davenport

12/12/2015 03:08:58 pm

My favorite lunch was sandwhiches. These met the nurtition requirments with the side of apples and juice.

Anamaria

12/15/2015 09:13:41 pm

My favorite lunch was chicken sandwich carrots and pears and milk I enjoyed it very much and yes it meets todays nutrition guideline,

Gisella Santiago-Gronka

12/16/2015 12:53:41 pm

I never ate school lunch. Mama always packed my lunch. My favorite was pollo guisado with arroz con gandules. My treat was a sweet red apple. There was always whole milk in my thermos. I think it would definitely pass today's standards.

Emely

12/17/2015 11:13:34 pm

My favorite lunch was always pizza, with a side of salad, fruit and milk!

Estefania

12/18/2015 12:46:02 am

My favorite was pizza with fruit. And yes

Stacy

12/20/2015 06:40:39 pm

yes, sloppy joes, green beans, apples and milk

Amber Fitzgerald

12/26/2015 10:35:37 am

My favorite meal was pizza, an apple, and milk. Yes it would.

Desiree Price

12/28/2015 03:05:04 pm

My favorite school meal was grilled cheese served with tomato soup, milk (1% or fat free), and another vegetable/fruit of your choice that was offered that day (it was mandatory to take at least one fruit or veggie along with your lunch). This met the standards, because it provided our vegetables, dairy, grain, and fruit servings. Hamburgers were also offered every single day, as well.

Rebecca Pedersen

12/29/2015 02:34:14 pm

My favorite school lunch was always nachos and with the amount of sodium and lack of any real nutrition this meal would not meet the the guidelines there are today.

Katrina

12/29/2015 03:25:44 pm

Pizza day was my favorite in elementary school. Definitely did not fulfill the nutritional guidelines.

James Over

12/30/2015 10:50:20 pm

My favorite school lunch would either be pizza, or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. The two don't mix well, but even together they wouldn't satisfy today's desirable nutritional charts. I was missing greens often and milk was only apart of my diet at home.

Cecilia

12/31/2015 03:45:29 pm

My favorite school lunch was the pepperoni pizza rectangle. All kids at my school were required to get a serving of the vegetable or fruit that was served and milk, so it fit the nutritional guidelines.

Laura

1/1/2016 06:44:22 am

My favorite school lunch was pizza. The lettuce in the side salad had little nutritional value. If it had been romaine or spinach salad the nutritional value of the lunch would have been better.

andrea

1/3/2016 08:00:04 pm

my favorite school lunch was ravioli pockets with a side of salad and fruit and milk,it met the nutritional values because it had a great serving size and was served in a district cafeteria school lunch.

Lindsay Lyon

1/3/2016 08:21:28 pm

I loved chicken burgers and tater tots. I don't recall having a specific fruit with it, which would have helped it to meet guidelines. I did always have milk or chocolate milk, so overall, it was a pretty well rounded lunch!

Shelby Kesterke

1/5/2016 08:52:01 am

My favorite school lunch was chicken fingers, salad, a cookie and milk. This does meet the current nutritional guidelines. It has a vegetable, dairy product and protein in the chicken.

rebecca arnold

1/13/2016 12:31:35 pm

I always like chicken nuggets carrots, milk, apple slices.it gave me fruit protein vegetable diary

Justyna Galaz

1/15/2016 12:10:56 pm

To be honest, I didn't really enjoy the school lunches. I brought my own or stocked up at the salad bar. The public school food is processed and unhealthy.

anitha

1/16/2016 09:13:56 pm

My favorite school lunch was sandwiches, mashed potatoes with a side of fruits, grains and milk.Definitely it would meet the nutritional guidelines.

David

1/20/2016 01:06:25 pm

My favorite school lunch was Ravioli and im 90% sure it was chef boyardee

Micaela Carroll

1/20/2016 01:43:51 pm

My favorite lunch was chicken nuggets, pretzel with cheese, applesauce and chocolate milk. I would think that it would not meet the requirements due to the sodium and carbs in both chicken nuggets and pretzel.

Sybil

1/25/2016 12:05:03 pm

Chicken nuggets! Which would not, in themselves, meet the nutritional requirements. There was also salad served with each lunch, which would make up for the lack of nutrition in the nuggets, though.

James

1/26/2016 07:21:32 am

My favorite school lunch had to be the Pizza and it did not meet the requirement.

cynthia smith

1/26/2016 02:41:44 pm

My favorite was the Thanksgiving feast that included all the traditional food items...turkey, mash potatoes and gravy, rolls and butter, corn, pumpkin bars

Annika

1/27/2016 12:16:08 pm

My favorite school lunch was bruschetta pizza served with fruit or veggie, milk, and a cherry churro. As long as the fruit/veggie was the correct portion and the dessert was small I believe this meal would meet all requirements.

Gabriel Abas

1/27/2016 12:24:47 pm

My favorite school lunch as a child was hamburger day. It was a cheeseburger served with fried, milk, and a birthday cupcake. I doubt the lunch had much nutritional value & probally didn't meet the nutritional guidelines.

Carly

1/30/2016 04:27:43 pm

In school I usually brought my lunch from home but when it was pizza day I always bought lunch. I remember getting a pizza and chocolate milk alone. There was a salad bar and fruits and veggies to choose from but they were not required. So my pizza and chocolate milk combo did not meet current health requirements.

Molly B

1/31/2016 06:55:08 pm

when i was in school, we were aloud to pick either a school lunch or the a la carte items which were a pretzel with cheese, i know these would not and did not meet the criteria for a nutritious lunch but i was 14 and it was available.

Michael Chapman

2/6/2016 09:27:38 am

My favorite school lunch was the chicken patty burger, it came with milk peaches and a whole grain roll it was delicious and it does fulfill the requirements of the nutrition plan today.

Andrea Myers

2/8/2016 11:05:16 am

My favorite lunch was pasta and red sauce day. It tastes the best and it felt like a pretty hardy and filling meal.

Kay

2/8/2016 01:01:14 pm

My favorite school meal was pizza- served with salad, an apple and milk! That meets all the requirements today!

Holly Rogers

2/8/2016 07:21:51 pm

Still love myself a good pizza for lunch. No, it does not meet all of the necessary requirements. It should be served with an apple, some salad, and some milk. Then it would be good to go!

Sarah Still

2/9/2016 08:44:01 am

My favorite school lunch was nachos. Alone it would not meet the nutritional requirements but I usually paired it with milk and some sort of fruit or vegetable to make it healthier.

PRIYANKA KUMARI

2/14/2016 09:03:20 am

My favorite lunch was beans sandwich, strawberry and yogurt. That gave me all the nutrients needed.

Rachel

2/17/2016 02:54:39 pm

My favorite food at school was pizza. It would not meet the nutritional requirements but I also would have some carrot.

Brandi Johnson

2/18/2016 02:03:52 pm

My favorite school lunch was the chicken sandwiches and French fries. It was 15 years ago and a lot of guidelines have changed so I am sure they do not meet the requirements.

Katharina Gees

2/22/2016 12:41:02 pm

My mother always prepared my meals for lunch, I never bought the cafeteria food. I ate a lot of grains, fruits and vegetables. I'm also vegan so according to these guidelines I'm not getting enough animal based products like cow's milk or dairy products. I think good foods for children are ones that they will enjoy eating like grapes, pomegranate seeds, carrot sticks with hummus, fat-free tortilla chips with salsa, etc. Children love little pieces and enjoy dipping.

Kammi

2/25/2016 06:29:28 pm

My favorite school lunch was chicken sandwiches. If the bun were whole wheat and a fruit, veggie, and milk were served with it, it would meet requirements. I don't remember what they served back then tho.

Henry Moen

2/27/2016 08:41:01 pm

I think my favorite lunch was when we got fried chicken burgers. It was not healthy. The only food groups present were protein and grains.

Marc

2/27/2016 10:58:43 pm

My favorite lunch would have to be the wraps they served. It had a protein chicken and a dairy the cheese and lettuce in it also.

Nohelani Quigtar

2/28/2016 11:06:38 pm

My favorite school lunch was pizza. It is now considered a vegetable so I suppose it can be healthy? It had dairy and/or protein.

Morgan

2/29/2016 10:25:24 am

my favorite school lunch was pizza sticks and today i do not think it would meet the guidelines. This is because we were not required to have fruit of veggies with our meal nor did we have to choose milk or water to drink.

Andrew

3/3/2016 05:32:54 pm

My favorite school lunch was buttered noodles with parmesan. I can't remember what the sides were, but in hindsight the meal on the whole was heavy on the carbohydrates.

Mariah

3/8/2016 10:15:38 pm

My favorite school lunch was pizza, until they switched the dough to whole wheat. Whole wheat was a lot healthier but it taste really bad, but it technically met one part of the nutritional guidelines. Today's school lunches have not changed much.

Katie

3/10/2016 10:50:45 am

My favorite school lunch was chicken burgers. they were usually served with a side of french fries, fruit, a vegetable and milk so it would meet the nutritional guidelines.

Tabitha

3/11/2016 04:03:59 pm

My favorite was pizza, pretty sure the only thing that nutritional was the cheese and even with everything else add it didn't count.

Stephanie

3/11/2016 04:19:53 pm

It was a chicken sandwich and tater tots. It would not meet the current standards as there was no dairy involved or fruit/vegetable provided.

Nicole Littleton

3/12/2016 09:41:12 pm

My favorite school lunch was french toast and milk. This would meet the diary and grain requirements but not the fruit requirement.

Sara McColloch

3/14/2016 10:16:53 am

My favorite school lunch was frito banditos. I believe it follows the food pyramid since it contains beans, lettuce, cheese, meat and what ever other toppings you prefer.

Melissa

3/17/2016 09:15:57 am

My favorite food lunch was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a small bag of chips and a fruit and veggie. This meal had a grain, a protein, and a fruit and veggie so yes, it would meet the nutritional requirements.

Audrey MEZIL

3/18/2016 04:54:26 pm

I was born and raised in France and we didn't have to bring lunch at school. There was a canteen where we took our meals with a unique healthy menu for all. I remembered I loved the grated carotts and a corned beef hash with mashed potatoes. I remembered loving fruit salad too.

Brianna Kanyid

3/19/2016 05:09:25 pm

My favorite lunch was a chicken patty on a whole wheat bun with fruits, vegetables, 1% milk, and a 100% juice fruit popsicle. It would meet the requirements.

Jaclyn Tabone

3/20/2016 08:46:25 pm

Spicy chicken caesar wrap. It would work because it had lettuce, chicken, whole grain tortilla and milk. It also had vegetables

Nathan Johnson

Pizza! and I doubt it would pass health standards or schools now days

My favorite school lunch was turkey sandwiches. As long as they put vegetables in with it- I believe that is a great source of vitamins for a growing child! Fruit would help it out a lot though!

My favorite school lunch was hot dogs. Lunches were always served with prepackaged pears, applesauce, and these teddy bear shaped cookies. I'm positive most of the food they served when I was a kid wouldn't meet the current nutritional standards!

My school lunches were around 50 yrs ago!! I would say I liked the Hamburgers and fries. There was probably some kind of canned veggie. The burgers may be ok. but the buns were processed white bread, The fries were heavy in salt and probably frozen ones that were heavily processed with bleach. I would not say today's nutritional standards were met. However, we were given milk and there were no vending machines or sodas, etc in the schools

In grade school we did not have school lunches and my parents frequently changed what I ate. In high school I bought lunch for a year. I usually got a ham and cheese sandwich with a banana. I meets most of the requirements except there was no vegetable.

Cheese sandwich, apples or grapes, milk

Pizza! There was always fruit or veg served in addition, which would meet the current nutritional guidelines, were I to have actually eaten my vegetables!

My favorite school lunch was sloppy joes, It was served with tortilla chips but would probably not meet the nutritional standards.

Pizza or chicken burgers with a glass Milk or water.

Anne Standing

I would love to see a cut up apple and a sandwich and milk. Although I must say that I ate at home many times too. I believe that would meet the guidelines of fruit, dairy, protein, and grains.

Drew Berger

My favorite meal was definitely Pizza. This paired with milk and a fruit and vegetables would have met current nutritional guidelines.

Emily DuBois

I was homeschooled, so definitely when my dad made me a turkey sandwich with mustard and pepper and tomatoes, I would have it with a big glass of milk!

Kristina

My favorite lunch was a PPJ with veggies and a small carton of 1%milk

Kari link

5/6/2016 09:05:02 am

My favorite was cheese zombie. These must contain so much carbs not sure that it'd be ok... I guess grain and dairy.

Daniel Allen

5/9/2016 04:52:21 pm

My favorite was always pizza or pizza sticks, these items don't meet the standard if served every day.

Myell Mergaert

5/21/2016 07:22:46 pm

My favorite school lunch was chicken teriyaki with rice. It would fit the standard.

Christopher Williams

5/31/2016 09:58:43 am

My favorite school lunch was, and still is, a salad. It would most certainly still meet the requirements.

Katheryn Leyde

6/2/2016 09:41:36 am

My favorite was chicken salad with peppers, I believe this fits the standard.

Madison Larsen

6/7/2016 02:09:38 pm

My favorite school lunch was teriyaki dippers with carrot sticks. This somewhat met the current nutritional guidelines, because I was getting a helping of meat and veggies. However, there was a lot of sodium in the sauce.

Christina Huskey

6/9/2016 10:05:04 pm

my favorite lunch as a kid was chicken nuggets with a salad, milk, apple sauce, and a roll.

Leticia Gutierrez

My favorite lunch was sandwhiches. These met the nurtition requirments with the side of apples and juice.

Sashia Ramirez-Trujillo

6/14/2016 12:00:18 am

My favorite lunch was meat with potato salad, apple juice and salad. I think this lunch meets the nutritional guidance because it had a protein, vegetables, carbs and natural juice.

Manroop Buttar

6/14/2016 11:59:58 pm

I loved pizza but it was served with a veggie and fruit as well as milk so it would have met the requirements

Katie O'Brien

6/15/2016 11:40:05 pm

My favorite school lunch was grilled cheese sandwiches with a fruit and veggie bar. This almost meets nutrition guidelines, as it would need a source of protein to be complete.

Mia Naficy

I've always been super into healthy foods and tasty flavors, so I rarely enjoyed the unhealthy, over-processed 'food' that is served in American schools. In high school, there was a taco salad option that had many vegetables and other toppings to choose from and I remember liking that more than anything else. I believe that most food served in schools is sub-standard nutritionally, even if it technically fits the requirements listed in this module.

Manolita

My favorite school lunch was sauté black beans and rice and fresh slices of orange.

Kimme

7/5/2016 12:10:51 pm

My favorite school lunch was mini corn dogs and smiley face french fries, it really does not fit the nutrition standards, the meal doesnt really have much nutritional value.

Olivia Castillo

7/5/2016 09:58:26 pm

Chicken tenders was my favorite. It would make the guidelines

Venise Williams

7/8/2016 06:19:53 pm

My favorite school lunch was tamales, beans, corn with milk or juice. I think that does not meat the requirements because the corn should be replaced with a different veggie.

Emily Enright

7/12/2016 10:54:59 pm

My parents never let me have school lunch, and always prepared my lunch, or had me pack my own lunch when I got older. Usually my lunch consisted of some sort of sandwich (turkey, tuna, egg salad) on whole grain bread, fruit (apples, grapes, melon, orange slices) a veggie like carrots, celery, lettuce on my sandwich, a yogurt or cheese stick, and something like chips, or a fruit snack... I think my packed lunches met the standards, but on the rare occasion I bought lunch and had pizza and brownies or something, the requirements were not met.

Jeremy Tagliaferre

7/16/2016 08:17:55 pm

Open Face Salisbury Steak Sandwich! Yes, because it also came with fruits, veggies, and milk, but the main course itself is probably not all that healthy since it is a slab of meat on a piece of white bread, with gravy dumped on top of it.

Judith Regalado

7/25/2016 09:18:53 pm

My favorite school lunch would have to be the chicken sandwich. It did meet the nutritional guild lines. There was meat, grain and we also had side. I usually had a fruit and vegetable with ranch on the side and also a package of milk with it.

Edith Stillwell

7/28/2016 07:42:45 am

I also work at a local elementary school and enjoy lunch there. My favorite is their mashed potatoes and turkey gravy, salad bar offering a variety of fresh veggies and fruit or salad, sometimes with goldfish graham crackers, cold milk.
Yes, this meets the state standards for school lunches.

Carly Froneberger

7/31/2016 12:42:18 pm

My favorite school lunch would have to be the teriyaki pork with mandarin oranges, whole grain rice, peas, and 1 percent milk. I think that lunch would meet most of the current national requirements.

Anne Pyle

8/14/2016 06:54:05 pm

My favorite school lunch in school was a chicken ceasar salads. Yes it would meet the nutritional current standards.

Heidi Roberts

no

My favorite meal was the pizza! If it had veggies and meat included then it met the requirements for grain, dairy, veggie, and protein! yum!

Miesha

My favorite school lunch when i was in school was pepperoni Pizza. it had a ton of cheese on it and you could see all the grease. it would not meet the nutritional guidelines because it is high in carbs and fats and it does not contain any vegetables.

Alexander

8/29/2016 07:02:33 pm

The food we were given was atrocious, and the only thing that was palatable was the chicken sandwich. this was usually served with tater tots and chocolate milk. I do not remember vegetables even being offered. In short, the answer is no.

Angela Brun

8/31/2016 01:52:53 pm

My favorite lunch was chicken tenders with French fries. It did not meet the guidelines. Usually didn't have a vegetable or fruit to go with it. Sometimes I would accompany a side of fruit, but I usually passed.

Katarina Allen

9/4/2016 01:56:32 pm

My favorite school lunch was when I was in middle school and I would buy lunch. It was a personal pepperoni pizza with a side of curly fries. It would not meet nutritional guidelines that are in place today. I believe it was a few years after I graduated middle school that these guidelines were more closely looked at and then ultimately changed for the better.

Kate Taylor

9/5/2016 10:16:00 am

My favorite lunch was pizza or mac and cheese. These would not meet the necessary criteria for a healthy lunch but if these things did not stand alone and other healthy food was added while decreasing the portion of unhealthy food, I think having these foods would be just fine.

Konstantin Yatsuk

9/6/2016 11:53:31 am

I don't remember, probably a bagel filled with cream cheese and ham and chocolate milk. It wouldn't meet the nutritional values criteria because it doesn't have any fruits or vegetables.

Mani Hooyman

9/11/2016 09:40:55 pm

My favorite was pizza day. Definitely wouldn't pass the nutrition guidelines.

Lacie

9/12/2016 08:38:00 pm

My favorite school lunch was nachos! With fake cheese and weird meat. I know they still serve this at school lunches but I am sure they have made a lot of ajustments or else it would not meet standards.

Alissa Gutierrez

9/14/2016 10:33:29 am

My favorite lunch was turkey, mashed potatoes with gravy, milk, and a roll. Yes I think this would pass nutritional guidelines because it includes protein, carbs, calcium, and not a high amount of fat.

McCanna

9/14/2016 11:00:01 am

When i was in school my favorite meal for lunch was notches! No, at the time it was not meeting the guidelines for nutrition but i'm pretty sure they have changed it sense. My school did offer many fruits and vegetables along with milk and juice.

Quincy Henry

9/17/2016 02:38:57 pm

My favorite school lunch was pepperoni pizza, paired with a cookie and soda pop. There is no real nutritional value in this meal and definitely would not meet the guidelines for nutrition now. However they have made quite a few changes and lunches are much more appropriate.

Yarely Espinoza

9/21/2016 09:32:47 pm

My favorite school lunch that I had was teriyaki dippers. We had salad on the side and mandarins and milk. I think it would meet the current nutritional guidelines that we have right now.

Maleeha Choudhry

salad because it would have fruit in it and it tasted amazing, it also met the food requirements and was balanced.

Chloe

9/23/2016 03:13:34 pm

I didn't eat the school lunches growing up. We usually brought our own food--the local schools were notorious for their poor food quality and type of food provided.
Anyway, I really liked soups as a kid, especially homemade chicken soup. It was usually eaten with a (whole wheat) roll and an apple/orange/pear/grapes. My stomach didn't really like dairy back then (and it still doesn't), but I think that besides the dairy component, that this meal would fulfill the nutritional requirements.

Sarah

9/25/2016 03:03:36 pm

I never ate school lunch, I always packed my own. I would usually pack a plain cheese sandwich on white bread with a juice and a dessert, so, no, it would not meet the requirements.

Britt

9/29/2016 07:35:53 pm

My favorite school lunch was country fried stake with mashed potatoes and gravy and wheat roll. It wasn't the healthiest option but it sure was yummy!!

Krystal Hwang

10/1/2016 10:47:08 pm

My favorite food at school was their deli sandwiches. It met some of my nutrition like bread, vegetables, and on the side snacks like cheese sticks or fruit that has vitiams. And i also really liked orange juice and milk.

Kate Sheldon

10/3/2016 11:20:36 am

My favorite school lunch was fried chicken. Until one day, a bunch of students noticed the meat was still bloody! The next day the health department came in so I doubt it met all the guidelines!

Lexi

10/4/2016 10:47:03 am

My favorite school lunch growing up was our cook's homemade spaghetti. Based on current requirements and how she prepared it, it would still meet the guidelines.

kylee

My favorite food was pizza and peaches. They also provided milk. For the most part, this meal met the requirements.

Alicia

10/16/2016 09:46:04 pm

My favorite school lunch was a corn dog. I loved when we would get corn dogs at school. It met most of the guidelines today. I got the meat from the hot dog, the grain from the bread, and the dairy from the milk that was served. The vegetables/ fruit portion was often not met. As students, we weren't required to take a fruit or vegetables if we didn't want it, and often times I didn't want it.

Kiana Wastradowski

10/16/2016 10:31:47 pm

My favorite school lunch was also corn dog with a salad or apple. We were also required to take a milk or juice which makes the requirements today.

Aliyah Martin

10/24/2016 10:18:40 pm

My favorite lunch food were nachos. This obviously did not meet the healthy requirement , because of the processed melted cheese and mystery meat that went on my nachos. And the amount of toppings such as, sour cream, olives were not bad, salsa and jalapenos

Latifa Franklin

Amber

I never ate school lunch! My mom always made me a sandwich with something healthy like carrots (which at the time, I hated). It was probably close to meeting the standards.

Sarah Garcia

11/18/2016 09:42:10 am

My favorite school lunch was mashed potatoes and turkey gravy. Usually only served on special occasions, it consisted of potatoes, turkey, gravy, corn or green beans, peaches, milk, and a roll. It did meet the requirements of an adequate lunch.

Laura Murillo

11/26/2016 10:38:31 pm

My favorite school lunch was pizza day! They served whole grain pizza with a side of fruit, vegetables, and milk. I believe it would meet current nutritional guidelines.

Jennifer Hargrove

11/27/2016 08:24:04 pm

My favorite was always those rectangle pizzas. That, and chocolate milk, are the only school foods that strike my memory. I'm sure there were vegetables in there somewhere. I would say it would meet the nutritional guidelines.

Esperanza Lira

11/28/2016 01:21:54 pm

My favorite school lunch was a chicken burger. We had a salad bar and I would add lettuce to it and drink the milk provided so yes it would be acceptable.

Juan Flores

Marisol Diaz

Karla Palomino

12/20/2016 10:18:24 am

I think my favorite school lunch was a Chicken burger with fries. It would meet the nutritious guidelines if it was served with a daily product such as milk and a vegetable and or fruit.

Jessica pattison

Leslie

1/17/2017 11:39:34 pm

I used to enjoy ketchup with anything, mainly french fries. I would grab milk, salad or soup that had a mix of greens, some sort of protein, and cheese, as well as a fresh fruit. For the most part, it met the requirements in a nutritious meal. As an adult, I eat a lot healthier and drink plenty of water.

Rachel Simmons

1/22/2017 08:08:40 pm

My favorite school lunch was the chicken burger. A good source of protein, with carbs. But each meal we always had the option to add on healthy sides such as fruit, or a salad as well.
