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.

BRAZIL
