Lunchtime at Fukushima Elementary School

Unlike most schools in America, Japanese schools don’t have cafeterias. Instead students eat in their classrooms. In this video, the kids are playing up to the camera a lot, but you can still get the idea of what lunchtime in a Japanese elementary school is like.

    Kyushoku (school lunch) menu is planned by hired nutritionist, so the kids get one balanced meal a day, at least.
    Even the food they eat at home have more variety, more vegetable than what American people eat. Some of those look garbage to westerners and probably would refuse to eat but nutritionally, they are good.
    Negative side, at least the way westerners see it, Japanese food use more (too much)salt and MSG.

    Yep we do. ^_^ In New York especially (I am not a New York native.) Some kids can just walk to some nearby restaraunt and eat lunch there if you have permission though. People I know from New York and New Jersey hate Florida. I think because that you have to stay on school campus for lunch. But at my high school when you are in 11th and 12th grade you get to drive lunch. I guess that is why so many 12th graders are mean at my school.
