I chose the foods I did because they are healthy for you. Some of them are high in protein, others are high in calcium. All the beverages I chose are also very healthy for you. Orange juice is a great source of vitamin c and water is always healthy. All my side dishes are either soups or salads. They each have their own different kinds of sources and are ll healthy. Overall, I think if a student ate this lunch menu, the would be satisfied with the food and be healthy.

I chose to create this lunch plan because it is filled with nutritional, healthy, and most importantly, delicious foods. With these options, students and teachers will look forward to buying Upper Merion's lunch options, an idea that seems far from possible today. While eating tasty meals, students will also receive the nutrients that they need to live a healthy lifestyle. These foods are beneficial to everybody's health, unlike the food that Upper Merion offers for meals today.

The new lunch menu is designed to be tasty and nutritious. Healthy choices are hidden in every dish keeping kids eating secretly right. There is a variety of delicious options in controlled portions.

Letter to the School Board
To Whom It May Concern:

We, the Nutrition Ninjas, would like to invade your school with healthier lunch menus for the students. Childhood obesity is on the rise, and school is the best place to start fixing this problem. Your current menu has many processed and frozen foods that are not good for a balanced diet. To help your students make better choices in the lunch line, give them only good choices! But be sneaky about it, like a ninja.

Our menu offers a variety of tasty and nutritious foods for all students. Grade A meats and sides of fruits and vegetables provide healthy choices everyday. Items include; pizza, tuna melts, crab cakes, and ribs. But before you protest, all our foods are of the highest quality and contain the most nutrients. Our drinks are not processed and contain little to no sugar. You may notice are menu contains less options per day then your current one. This is because our portion sizes are slightly bigger, and thus save you money on buying multiple items. Students will pay the same amount for a lunch that they are paying now. This is a win-win situation for you, you are paying the same price you were before but helping our country’s future make better lifestyle decisions.

Our lunch program has many benefits. Besides being easy on your wallet, our foods are easy on the stomachs of kids. When kids eat healthier they feel better. More awake and alert. When they are awake they pay more attention in school, thus helping them learn better. Healthy food choices also keep them in better shape for after school sports. Protein for muscle, carbohydrates for energy, and calcium for strong bone structure.

Nutrition Ninjas lunch program is the choice for your school. Our food is full of flavor and the nutrients their bodies need. Help your students eat healthy without them knowing! Be smart and be sneaky by picking our program to dish out the goods at your school.

Sincerely, Nutrition Ninja Inc.
