Everybody likes lunch! Right? WELL, does everybody like exactly the same lunch? Everybody has a different opinion, as well as a preferred way of how they eat and how their food is served. Some people like a lot of food, some people like little portions of food. “I feel like sometimes they give either too much or too little,” said freshman Dominic Ayala. Many people can agree with this quote as well as this one. “I think certain things they serve they give too little of -like the chicken nuggets they only give four, and it doesn’t really fill me up,” said junior Jacie Gambardella. But what about you, what do you like or dislike about the menu?

Some students would rather be doing something else like studying or going to the library instead of having lunch. Dominic said “I think lunch is fun and I enjoy it because I get to hang out with my friends and just chill and have a break.” Jaida Morton said, “Sometimes I would rather be doing something like finishing work than just being there in lunch or going to a different part of the school,”

Even though you might want to be doing something else you can still like lunch. “Pizza dippers is my favorite option for lunch,” said freshman Camari Tibbs. She likes to go to the library sometimes or eat outside, but she still really likes having lunch. “I feel like they make the food really good. I like it but sometimes it depends on what I eat,”  said freshman Maya Amaya. A lot of other people could agree with that as well, like Dominic “I actually really like the food,” said Ayala.

Many students like different things on the lunch menu, just like how Camari Tibbss’ favorite food is pizza dippers. What are some other things that you could like? “Hamburger mac and cheese,” said freshman Jaida Morton. “I really like baked penne,” said Dominic Ayala.

There are also many things that might not be on the menu that people like or that are on the menu and people don’t like. Dominic said “Sometimes I wish that the school had burritos like the ones with white rice and chicken and cheese.” That does sound kind of good doesn’t it?

What are some of the options people don’t like though? “The buffalo chicken dip. It’s just not my favorite,”  said senior Jaillyn Johnson.

Anthony Jones said “I’ll sometimes eat the food, but most times I don’t eat anything or I’ll bring food,”

Aadi Bhalla said “I bring my own food, because that way I can eat something I know I’ll like, unlike people who get lunch without checking the menu. They kinda just have to guess what they’re gonna eat for lunch.”

Adrian Ramos says “I think the school should add strawberry milk back instead of just chocolate and white milk.”

“I don’t like the broccoli so much,” said freshman Maya Amaya.

Do you think that the food should be healthier? What do other people think about the healthy food options?

“I don’t think everything should be so healthy. I think that if everything is too healthy, then we won’t get all the nutrients, proteins and energy that we need. Because sometimes most of the things that we need to get, we get from the most unhealthiest things,” said freshman Jaida Morton.

“If I could, I would definitely like to pick something that I like. I think I could make a healthier lunch that I would prefer,” said junior Jacie Gambardella.

While it is obviously hard to please everyone each day,  there are still plenty of positive things and appreciative comments that other people have stated about the school lunch food at Osbourn.

Manar Touzani said “I really like mini corn dogs because they’re filling.”

Keith Tate said “My favorite meals at the school are the  cheesy taco fries , cheeseburgers, chicken nuggets, and pizza dippers.”

Adrian Ramos says “I usually eat most of the school lunches, but my favorite lunch of them all has to be pizza dippers. They’re nice and cheesy and have some flavor, the tomato sauce is really good and it has a lot of flavor, and It really adds something to the food!”

Anthony Jones says” I love the mac and cheese and the pizza dippers. Sometimes the chicken nuggets are good!”

Manar Touzani said “I wish the school would bring back strawberry milk! Not only that, it would be nice if they put student preference into consideration when planning the menus.”

“I would pack a lunch if I could, because I don’t really like everything from school food. I would rather have my preferred lunch options. I think it should be a little bit more healthier, but the food is still pretty good,” said freshman Jackelyn Quinto Leon.
