In my opinion, school lunch here in Muurame is usually quite fine. There is the main dish, salad and bread, so it should be quite easy to fill one's plate like it should be filled. The sad truth is that many kids in school are so picky, that they don't go to lunch at all because "there is nothing to eat there" or if they do, they eat a spoonful of rice and that's it. This isn't good at all. Everyone, especially teenagers, should eat normal food during the day, and enough of it, instead of going to the corner shop to get something unhealthy because "school food sucks". I don't think so. I totally get that there are some foods which aren't so delicious, and I'm not a fan of theirs either, but still I always eat what they offer.
What is the solution for this problem then? Maybe it was better if there was two different dishes and then of course the veggie option, like they have in Jyväskylä. Then there most likely would be at least something that those picky youngsters could put in their mouth. Then they would maybe see, that it's much easier to keep up in classes when one is not so hungry and tired. However, the situation right now is what it is, so please, don't be too picky. Instead of that we should be grateful to have food regardless of what the dish is that day :)
