Is School Lunch Really Healthy?
Today at lunch I did a survey to see which lunch line students liked best. I asked 60 students. The results are in:
Extreme Line: 20
Side Lines: 11
Sub Line: 8
Pizza Line: 21
I also surveyed 20 students on how many days a week they pack their lunch and here is the results:
5 days: 7
3-4 days: 7
1-2 days: 6
So as you see, a lot of kids like the pizza line and almost as many enjoy the extreme line. As we know, the pizza line serves pizza and the extreme line serves a small dish like chicken nuggets or cheese stuffed pizza crusts with some form of potato or fry, usually. Fries and pizza are not healthy foods. The problem with that not being healthy is that a lot of kids like that line and if they eat it every day they will become obese. More and more of America’s teens and pre-teens are becoming obese and being diagnosed with diabetes at an early age. Kids that are diagnosed with diabetes are forced to take shots with insulin in them every day. So if our school continues to serve pizza and fries every day there could become serious problems.
In a recent interview with a former cafeteria worker we asked some groundbreaking questions. Our first question to the lunch worker was, have you ever burned yourself while working in the caf? She replied with a yes. We then asked her, do you have to pay or make your own lunch? She said no, it's free, and we make our own lunch because it is part of the job .The third question we asked was, do hair nets bother you? She gave us quite an explanation, "When I worked at Brandywine Springs, we did not wear hair nets, but baseball caps, because I have very short hair. When I worked in the Red Clay bake shop, yes, I had to wear one. It was bothersome, but you could get special made ones, that were less noticable. And the last question we asked the former lunch worker was, did you enjoy your job? And her answer was, "Yeah it was fun, hard work. You had to be fast, and do a lot of heavy lifting.
--i made some changes so if anyone wants to review my article, it's completely done now.

This is a good article, however, I think you should include people who pack their lunch. Otherwise, besides a few minor grammar things (and that isn't really your job anyway, it's the other editors' and mine) it's good.
Hey! I like the artical, but I think it might make more of an impact if you added a nutrition fact, one of the "unhealthy" ones. Also, if you possibly interview a lunch staff on their thoughts, but that might be hard.
