Lunches in us high schools are lacking adequate nutritional value. the menus have become increasingly varied over the past two decades, and they are varied to a fault. now high school students can choose between healthy main dishes and "junk food" items offered à la carte on the school menu. milkshakes and fries are often the lunch of choice for america’s youth. fourteen-year-old alira sanson from grand rapids, michigan, admits, "i love my high school's menu. it is much better than middle school food. i eat a giant chocolate chip cookie and a bag of chips for lunch every day—because i can." the middle school menu alira refers to is the government-regulated hot lunch mandated in elementary and middle schools across the nation. lunches at the high school level are often under site-based management, and food service officials are under pressure to provide food that sells. this pressure renders unhealthy choices, and the resulting menus are detrimental to students.

serve the people! ,” smoothly translated by julia lovell, offers an initial sample of yan lianke’s writing to an english-speaking audience. a bluntly drawn, mildly erotic fable, it teases mao zedong by poking fun at a true believer who obeys the chairman’s precepts too literally. to a western sensibility, the broad strokes of yan lianke’s humor would seem to pose little risk of inciting rebellion, whether of the flesh or of the body politic. but then, part of the book’s attraction is that it doesn’t have a western sensibility. it lets the reader see — or rather, intuit — what jokes chinese officials don’t consider funny, and how very little it takes for a writer to be branded an incendiary in 21st-century china, more than three decades after the death of mao, a decade after the death of deng xiaoping and seven years since china entered the world trade organization, a move that would seem to signal a willingness (however wary) to mingle with the rest of the world.
