Does having a quality school lunch matter when it comes to students’ academic performance?

As a Hispanic daughter who comes from a low-income family I am grateful for the food that is provided to me. Yet at my school, I would watch as kids threw their food in the trash without eating it. I feel bad about all the food being wasted but at the same time, I understood why no one could eat it.
