Children should eat healthy lunches in school every day. Firstly, children need to drink milk to make their teeth and bones strong. Some schools provide milk for children and this is an excellent idea. Secondly, children need to eat fruit and vegetables every day to keep them healthy. Some children do not eat fruit or vegetables and they get sick more often. Sweets and fizzy drinks should be banned from schools because they rot your teeth. Finally, if all schools have a rule about healthy lunches children will grow strong and healthy.

• "Some children do not eat fruit or vegetables and they get sick more often."

• Milk is delicious and the healthiest drink for school-age kids and every kid should drink it.
