We need a longer lunch!

At JHS the time to eat lunch is VERY inexcusable. We only get a half an hour to stand in the lunch line, get our food, then sit down and have to shove the food down our throats. We have about 600 students and only 3 lunch lines to get food, not to mention how long it takes just to put in your student ID, and sometimes when the computers crash we have to converge the whole line into one.
I don’t think it’s very healthy that we only have 15 minutes to sit down and eat. Students then go to class or home with stomach aches because their body doesn’t digest the food as well as it would if we had longer time.
Sophomore Briennah Duncan states, “I really don’t like the fact that we have so little time to eat because personally I like to take my time and not have to rush.”
So there you have it from the words of JHS student’s: a longer lunch is a necessity. What are your thoughts student? Please comment.
