This Is What School Lunches Look Like Around The World

About 32 million children in the US eat cafeteria school lunches every day. As a nation with a childhood obesity epidemic,Sweetgreen—an organization that seeks to battle childhood obesity and promote healthy eating habits for children—decided to take a look at what these kids actually have for lunch at school. The organization also takes a look at the school lunches that children from around the world typically eat, to further examine where America falls in comparison.

FRANCE

Steak, carrots, green beans, cheese and fresh fruit.

BRAZIL

Pork with mixed veggies, black beans and rice, salad, bread and baked plantains.

SOUTH KOREA

Fish soup, tofu over rice, kimchi and fresh veggies.

GREECE

Baked chicken over orzo, stuffed grape leaves, tomato and cucumber salad, fresh oranges, and greek yogurt with pomegranate seeds.

UKRAINE

SPAIN

USA

Surprisingly, the lunches in these other nations were far more nutritious and fresh, when compared to the processed meals served to American children. Through this visual project, Sweetgreen hopes to raise awareness and promote school lunch reforms in the US.
