Lunch changes annoy some students

CEDAR FALLS (AP) — On any given day, Cedar Falls High School students have several options when filling their lunch trays.

For instance, recently students were offered several hot lunch entrees, including a turkey dog (with or without a side of chili), a ham and cheese sandwich on a whole grain bun, a prepackaged Smucker’s Uncrustables, a yogurt and cheese combo or one of several full-size salads. There were also grapes, bananas, pineapple chunks, apples, pears, side salads and prepackaged baby carrots.

While the new Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act was designed to get students eating healthier, many Cedar Falls students, like sophomore Emily Le, said it just means they are eating less at school and more at home.

Yes, an investment in Iowa Speedway is an investment in our community's future
Only state money should be used, because the whole state benefits from Iowa Speedway
Only local money should be used, since Newton and Jasper County have the most to gain
