Lunch Portions

Are Lunch Portions Fair for All Students?

Studies

• Studies show that the proper portion varies between the child's size.

• In High School, there are various sizes and shapes.

• Height can range from 4'10" to 6'5" with further outliers.

• Weight can range from 80lbs to 300lbs with possible outliers.

• Factors such as activity, sports, and metabolism can contribute to weight

• Increased activity requires increased portion sizes. Michael Phelps: 10,000 calories/per day 

• Opinion: Those who do chose to eat healthy with correct portions on the various food groups and do regular exercise should not be punished for those who can't eat correct portions. Schools offer the correct information on how weight effects lifestyle, but it still is a completely personal decision.
