According to students who are doing volunteer work at Reo Lansing Elementary school, students there usually go to eat lunch at around 12:30 pm; the place where all the students eat lunch is their gym; students go to the gym by line and holding a card with number of what the main dish they have choose to eat.

“Instead of soda and other snacks, more fruits and vegetables can help with children’s health and prevent obesity,” said Ronda Bokram, nutritionist at Michigan StateUniversity, who has been a registered dietitian for more than 30 years.

“Children will not be forced to take the vegetables and fruits onto their plates; the standards require that the various food groups be offered,” Charles Alberts, teacher at Lansing School District, said.

When asked about expectations for lunch, most students still hope to have more choices.

“If the main dishes can be like the salad bar that would be great, ” Andy Arsen, a first-grade student at Reo Lansing Elementary School, said.

"When we send our kids to school, we expect that they won't be eating the kind of fatty, salty, sugary foods that we try to keep them from eating at home," First Lady Michelle Obama said in a news release, according to Madison Park, CNN’s Website.

"We want the food they get at school to be the same kind of food we would serve at our own kitchen tables."

“We are very glad about all the improvement in lunch program these years,” Lansing Reo School Principal Kim Johnson Ray said.

“It’s not just about attract more students or what, but we do want students to have healthy lunch and provides them better experiences during school time,” Ray said.
