Unhealthy Food at School Cafeterias

Introduction

Mankind can bring itself to thank God enough for the blessings He has endowed upon us. Wherever, we move our sight, our eyes witness nothing else but the countless blessings in our environments, surroundings, and lives. However, amongst those blessings which God has bestowed upon us, the most valuable blessing is believed to be the sound health of a person. The whole dynamics of the life change if a person possesses sound health, in comparison to the condition when either a person is bed ridden, or somehow is deprived to relish the beauty of the world or life, due to some physical ailment of impairment.

As mentioned above, researchers have found that children relish to eat almost everything that is not home cooked. Therefore, as much as the authorities of the school try to introduce the non-junk food into the cafeterias, there still exists a significant question regarding the degree of hygiene and threats it poses to the sound health of the children (Carlsson & Williams, p. 400).

Food at cafeteria

Researches up till now have broadly proved that the food served at the cafeterias of the schools is not only unhygienic, but also poses certain threats to the health of children.
