Best support: "Some students aren't hungry early in the day."
Why: That directly explains why changing the lunch schedule (e.g., later lunches) would reduce plate waste — students will be more likely to eat if they’re actually hungry.
(Additional supporting but less direct evidence: "Cafeteria lines are too slow" and "Students like talking with friends during lunch" support making lunch periods longer so students have time to eat. "Schools should have longer lunch periods…" is the recommendation, not the underlying evidence.)
