A Spanish teacher who relocated to the United States has generated controversy by publishing a video in which she shows the school menu of the school where she works. In the video, the teacher presents three food options that are part of the menu: a sausage and cheese sandwich, mashed potatoes, and chocolate cereal for dessert, all accompanied by water. The teacher comments wryly about the quality of the sausage in the sandwich. The teacher then presents the school’s second meal option, which includes fried chicken as a first course, a second course of choice between mashed potatoes and another unmentioned component, and applesauce for dessert.
The publication of the video has generated criticism from social media users, who have pointed out the lack of nutritional quality of the food offered to the school’s students. The comments include remarks about the rate of childhood and adult obesity in the United States and the lack of food quality in a country with so many resources. In addition, the teacher had previously posted another video showing different food choices from the menu, including fried chicken, sandwiches, hot dogs, vegetables, chips, applesauce, and fruit. Although this video has fewer views than the previous one, the comments are also critical of the quality of the school menu.
In summary, the Spanish teacher’s publication of the school menu at a school in the United States has generated controversy and criticism for the nutritional quality of the food offered to students. Social media users have pointed out the high rate of childhood and adult obesity in the United States and questioned the lack of food quality in a country with so many resources.
