Students in the Warren County School System say they’re going hungry.The problem results from limited calories that are being included in school lunches as ordered by a new federal mandate aimed at fighting obesity.School Board members were made aware of the problem in a recent presentation by the WCHS Student Advisory Council. The students called the new lunch size “kindergarten portions” and complained to the School Board that between the smaller lunch sizes and shorter lunch periods at the high school, many are skipping the midday meal.The lunch period was shortened from an hour to 50 minutes to accommodate a seventh class for high school students.In the student advisory report, the committee criticized several things.“Students do not like the kindergarten portions and there is not enough time to stand in line and get your food at lunch,” the council said.The council also expressed concern that, for some students, meals at school are the only substantial food they have all day. For this reason calories can be very important, and the restriction on calories could be, in essence, starving those students and sending them home hungry.While not addressing the food line issue, School Board members revealed their hands are tied when it comes to portions.
