Select the correct answer.
Lunches in US high schools are lacking adequate nutritional value. The menus have become increasingly varied over the past two decades, and they
are varied to a fault. Now high school students can choose between healthy main dishes and "junk food" items offered à la carte on the school menu.
Milkshakes and fries are often the lunch of choice for America's youth. Fourteen-year-old Alira Sanson from Grand Rapids, Michigan, admits, "I love
my high school's menu. It is much better than middle school food. I eat a giant chocolate chip cookie and a bag of chips for lunch every day-
because I can." The middle school menu Alira refers to is the government-regulated hot lunch mandated in elementary and middle schools across
the nation. Lunches at the high school level are often under site-based management, and food service officials are under pressure to provide food
that sells. This pressure renders unhealthy choices, and the resulting menus are detrimental to students.
