    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 watemelon，however．a(chǎn)re

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

 sandwiches．

    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.
