Getting salad bars in baltimore schools

Being a teacher at a local city school in Baltimore I see the food that is being fed to our kids every day and am appalled by its poor quality. The portions are small and everything is processed. There are hardly ever any fresh fruits or vegetables in their lunch. How can we expect our kids to be alert and to succeed academically and behaviorally on such a poor diet?! There has been continuous research done proving that student behavior and performance is greatly affected by their diet. So it is clear that we need to improve the food our kids are eating in order to improve their academic performance. I believe that every Baltimore public school should have a free salad bar available to the students providing them with the nutrition their require.

Why is this important?

My petition is about getting a salad bar in every baltimore school so our children can get the nutrition they deserve and eat healthy every day, which will in turn improve their overall behavior and academic progress.
