School Lunches from around the World
Do you wonder what children are eating for lunch across the world? Take a look at different school lunches and learn something about kids'school lives across the world.
In Japan, 99% of elementary school(小学)students and 82% of junior high school students eat kyushoku (school lunch). It includes a bottle of milk, a bowl of rice, usually some types of fish, a salad, some kinds of soup, usually with tofu and vegetables, and a piece of fruit.
In the United States kids have hamburgers and chips for lunch. Those school lunches are making the kids so fat that many are unable to meet the physical fitness standards(标准). The good news is that Improving Nutrition(营养) for American's Children Act was recently passed. That will help to make school lunches more nutritional(有营养的).
In Beijing, school lunches are usually provided from home. A food service worker picks up the fresh meals from home and sends them to schools.
