    It seems school children all over the world complain about their school food．Cherie Blair，the wife of Prime Minister Tony Blair，said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if

school dinners do not improve. So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?

    Japan

    High schools have canteens，which serve everything from noodles to rice，but not burgers and chips．Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls，meat or fish，pickles and vegetables．

    The United States

    A typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken，lettuce and pickles，fruit and cookies．  School lunches must also provide at least one―third of the daily dietary allowances（定量）of protein，vitamin A．vitamin C，iron，calcium，and calories（卡路里）．

    Australia

    Meat pies，sausage rolls and hotdogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops．But as the nation pays more attention to children’s health，healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus．

  Many schools have used a traffic light system．The sale of red．1abelled foods．including pastries，chocolate and soft drinks，is served only twice a week．Healthier green-labelled foods such as sushi，sandwiches，corn and wate melon，however．Are served every day．

    In some schools．students have a choice of up to 89 foods to choose from，including popcorn and rice．

  South Africa

  Most of South Africa’s schools do not serve meals at all．Classes end at 1：30 pm and students．get their own lunches．Many students bring food from home，usually sand wiches．

    Fast flood and fried food sell the best among students，which has led to a rise in obesity among children．But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different diseases，some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition．Now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge with vegetables，such as cabbages，onions，beans，carrots and tomatoes.
