vegetarian-only lunch lines
while growing up, i always brought my lunch to school. my mom spoiled jimmy & me and made our lunches everyday, even in high school; therefore we always had healthy, yet tasty, lunches. however, occasionally i would forget my lunch and would be forced to eat something from the cafeteria. the vegetarian options were slim: greasy cheese pizza, french fries, salad that’s mostly lettuce. needless to say, i was always hungry when i got home on those days.
thankfully some schools are starting to realise that they need to accommodate those of us who choose to eat healthier. grady high school, a local atlanta school, has started having a separate vegetarian lunch line, serving veggie burgers, pasta salad, veggie springrolls, and more. even though i would probably continue to bring my lunch if i was still in school these days, i can really appreciate the change from having gross meatless options to having some healthier, real vegetarian options. i’m not sure if my high school has started having a vegetarian lunch line, but hopefully grady high has started a new trend that will cross the country.

not to mention that the meat that they DO serve is quite sub-par....in fact, I'm pretty sure that the "meat" in the school lunch chicken nuggets are NOT meat....
