I regularly purchase my lunch in the cafeteria; however, we only have one meal option each day. I would not serve some of the meals prepared in our cafeteria to cockroaches. Consider the school's pepperoni pizza. I am one who rarely turns down pizza, especially if it has pepperoni on it, but the pizza that our school serves is just too greasy. I even put paper napkins over the pizza in order to soak up the grease. Nevertheless, I always have a stomachache in the afternoon on pizza day. Some of my friends do not even eat lunch on pizza day because the pizza our school serves makes them feel ill too. If we had more meal options at lunch, we could choose foods that left us feeling better in the afternoons. 26
