As the caretakers of young people during the day, schools are required to serve a hot, healthy meal to students, complete with fruits and vegetables. While cafeteria managers try to plan meals that students actually want to eat, not everyone chooses to eat all that is on the plate. Share tables allow students to voluntarily drop off what they don’t eat. Since most students are busy talking to friends and dealing with issues of their own, they aren’t watching the share table. Other students are free to take what they want from the table without being noticed or judged. We’ve all had days when we’ve wanted to eat a little extra at lunch, and share tables allow everyone the opportunity to fill up. What is the role of paragraph 8 in Passage 2?
