"I am a junior at BCC High School. The cafeteria is a place of racial divide at my school and eating in it carries a negative stigma on students. We are working at BCC to improve the school food so that students of all backgrounds will come together to share meals. It is saddening to see students eating vending machine snacks because they prefer them over the unhealthy cafeteria options. Whether it be cafeteria or vending machine food, it is all the wrong brain fuel. I work with HSFM so that we can close the racial divide and health problems that our MCPS cafeterias are promoting."

"Considering the increase in disease in this country and the uncertainty of what we're putting in our bodies, the food served in schools should be the most healthy that we can offer to children. We need to make a commitment to adhere to all of the recommended changes and be sure that we're contributing to setting the standard for how people should eat.".
