Recess Food
Importance
Important for stallholders to ensure the best food possible is available to enhance the students' ability to learn and take in the information presented to them in class.
Changes to the food and canteen in recent years
The canteen also plays an important role within the broader school environment – that of reinforcing knowledge, skills and behaviours about healthy eating and lifestyle which are taught in the classroom.
The school canteen plays a vital role in promoting healthy foods and creating a school culture of healthy eating.

Overall, I believe recess food is very important as it gives us the energy to study in school. It is paramount for them to be healthy and cheap so that children need not spend too much money. School canteens should also have a variety of cuisines, as it is important for students to know how to pronounce and taste different types of food so that they will not be confused and know what they are eating next time when they grow up.
