They felt that this wouldencourage more students to eat lunch and would be fairer.They were not concerned about whether each student wouldhave a balanced diet. Another large faction did want to offerchoices, but they wanted each choice to be a planned meal.The price would be the same for each, but one choice wouldbe a salad bar, one a meat and vegetable plate, and one asandwich and fruit choice.
