Read the passage below. Is there anything worse than realizing that it's only four period and you're starving for a decent lunch? The
only thing worse is remembering that lunch was already served, but there was nothing offered that you could
eat. Each year, thousands of dollars are spent designing lunch programs for schools where they consider
everything from budgets to calories and, peanut allergies. The problem is, very little thought is put into what
alternatives are offered to vegetarian students. I cannot count the number of times the vegetarian selection at
my school has amounted to little more than a dry roll and green beans out of a can. I am forced to practically
starve while my classmates dig in to hearty meals. School lunches must be revised to provide filling, healthy,
tasty alternatives for vegetarian students.

Which of the following statements could be used as a counter-claim to the argument above?

A. Little thought is put into lunches for vegetarians.

B. Changing the current lunch system would cost milions of dollars.

C. School children are too hungry to concentrate.

D. Too much money is spent on allergy research and nutrition counseling
