FOOD: Poly Students pick what types of food are their favorite.
Poly High School is a school full of different people with opposing views. One thing that people disagree on is their favorite foods. I asked a variety of people what their favorite foods are to eat. I came up with four foods people generally agreed on that were good.
The number one food poly students liked most is a classic food, but some like to add toppings to compliment the taste. Burgers were their top food choice. Students like how simple they are and how easy they are to eat. With a burger, people typically add a side to enjoy with it. “Get onion rings on the side,” suggested senior, Kasandra Rodriguez, when I asked her for a side suggestion.

The runner-up is a nice dish to eat alone or with some sides. It comes in all different shapes and sizes. When someone gets asked what their favorite Italian food is, they usually say it. Pasta! It is the next best dish in line that people express their love for eating. “It comes in so many different kinds [of styles] to choose between and it is tasty,” Jasmine Phillips (12) says. Not only is pasta “tasty”, but it can also help with sports. Samantha Cripps (12) expresses her occasional necessity to eat pasta because “It’s a good carb load for running”. Overall all students thought that pasta was convenient to cook and eat.

The third dish that Poly students enjoy eating comes from plants. Typically portioned in small bites, and easily punctured by a fork. The next food is … Salad. For a student on the Poly campus, different types of salads were all preferred ranging from green salads to even vegetable salads. Hannah Griggs (11) explains that the best thing about eating salad is that it is “crunchy.”.

The final food students thought was delicious is part of a long debate about what the definition of a sandwich is. Build your sandwich with meat, cheese, vegetables, and more. The possibilities are endless. Hayley Bullock (12), mentioned that her favorite kind of sandwich is one with “vegetables and vegan cheese.”
Throughout the many responses I received the Burgers, Pasta, Salad, and Sandwiches were the most popular. All of these options are easily moldable to fit the specific preference of the person making them. These are the top food choices of Poly students.
