[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a safety issue (if it is) because kids jump in their cars and speed away. They don't much time for lunch. They speed to whatever fast food place is closest or has become the go-to hang-out spot. It's chaotic. Don't have a car or a license, no problem - somebody does. And it's not very cool if you don't leave campus. I'm not saying it should change, it's been this way forever. It is chaotic. [/quote]

Back in the day at B-CC everyone just [b]walked over to the McDonalds for a nice healthy lunch[/b]. There was plenty of time. That location was profitable because of the proximity to the high school.

B-CC also has a nicely shaded front lawn where students would often relax outdoors. B-CC like most old historic schools in urban settings is perfectly suited for the open campus policies.

And the cafeteria has never been large enough to hold all the students at once. I believe that lunch in a crummy, crowded cafeteria for thousands of students is a terrible idea for any school. [/quote]

I cannot take you seriously with this. You actually believe the words "McDonald's" and "healthy" go together?

Convenient? Sure. Liked by kids? Absolutely. But McDonald's is not now, nor has it ever been, anyone's definition of healthy.[/quote]
