It doesn't seem like everyone has enough time to eat lunch in the 25 minute schedule for lunch. I think they should add on a few more minutes for us because I see everyone rushing to eat their food. On the other side, there is more class time for teachers with the middle period. There are both good and bad outcomes to the 25 minute lunch period, but do we need more time or less time?
30 minutes can allow kids to be less rushed, as there is always a big line for lunch. According to Health Essentials, it shows that eating slower can have a lower risk of obesity. I feel like it also allows food to settle before moving onto the next class. Kids don't finish all of their lunch in the 25 minute period, which results in food waste. Slow eaters are also healthier than fast eaters, according to Health Essentials. I think the extra 5 minutes could make a huge difference, but you would have to cut some class time.
On the other side, you could only finish lunch in 20 minutes and be done with it. Although some people could finish lunch in 5-10 minutes, they are likely overeating and having indigestive risks, according to Health Essentials. People who eat their lunch quickly can develop diabetes and become obese (Health Essentials). It also shows why some kids can get sick after lunch and leave. I think teachers would like a 20 minute lunch period so they have more time to teach instead of the lunch period taking up half of the time. I see many teachers complaining about the shortened period for lunch.
Overall, I think the 30 minute lunch would be better for everyone since they wouldn't be in a big rush for lunch. The 20 minute lunch would stress some people out, and there would be more chances of kids becoming unhealthy. Although the classes would be cut short in the 30 minute lunch period, it allows kids to not leave school because of getting sick for being fast eaters. The 25 minute period we currently have is in the middle of both the times I have talked about. The 25 minute period might be alright, but some kids still have to rush and eat, which is why I think we need an extra 5 minutes.
Are you for more or less time for lunch?
How many minutes should be allowed for lunch?

I would like to have more time for lunch. I would like to have more time for lunch because I have had to dump my tray when the bell rings and I am not done eating, and my tray still has food on it. I would like to have more time for lunch because lunch is a break for all the kids.
I think we should have more time at lunch. I am a slow eater, and sometimes I have to just throw away what I wanted to eat. I think that 30 minutes is a good time for lunch. I think the lunch schedule is good for now, but I think we should change it.
I think 25 minutes is fine for lunch because I am already done with my food before the bell even rings. I think they should keep it at 25 minutes.
In my opinion i think that 25 min is fine for lunch. I personally eat fast and i have and time to just chill on my phone until the bell rings for the next class, but i do know that some kids eat lunch very slow so it also depents on the kid.
I agree that some kids eat slow, but another factor is that the lunch line can be so long as well as the microwaves to warm up food. An extra 5 minutes would be best for everyone to finsh.
I personally beilve that 25 minutes is the perfect time for a lunch. I think anymore than 30 minutes for lunch is just unncessary because most kids dont even use 20 minutes to eat their lunch. Talking with your friends is about the only thing people do at lunch and I think the current schedule is perfect.
The current schedule is fine for most, I kind of disagree because the kids at the of the lunch line need extra time to finish along with the slow eaters. An extra 5 mintues would be good enough for everyone.
Personally, I do not have a problem with the 25-minute lunches but I always get to lunch early so I am at the front end of the line and get through a lot faster then those in the back of the lines. But I think there should be given more time so the students in the back of the lines to get through.
I agree there should be more time for kids since the lunch lines are always full and take forever. People at the front have ti easier, but not in the back when they are last and need extra time.
I think we should have more lunch time during school days. I think we should have 45 mintures to 1 hour for lunch as that gives use time to have lunch time and be with friends. I think its not long enough.
