A Day At The Cafeteria

An open campus lunch program is when, during the lunch period, students are permitted to leave campus and get lunch from local businesses or even home. At Urbana High School we currently have four lunch shifts, during which students pack or buy lunches. I believe Frederick County Public Schools should start an open campus lunch program for seniors because the school lunches are not healthy enough or appealing and do not have enough lunch options. The benefits that could come from this program go beyond the happiness of the seniors, they will reach the classrooms, staff members, and community.

“No.” She shook her head, pressing her lips tight as she looked across the table at me. “He didn’t like the food. He didn’t ask about me.”

He slowly got on his knees as tears started to flow from his eyes. She was visibly disgusted at the sight of his crying, sending a powerful kick towards his stomach, causing him to cough up spit. He coughed violently as he held onto his stomach. She looked down at him shaking her head as she pulled him up by his head.

He came out the shadows after her, making noises again, and she was running and laughing wildly, all her fear sucked up by the thrill. He caught her and swung her around, and she couldn’t breath.

The goals,is to improve school food, teach nutrition, support sustainable food systems, and create an education program focused on understanding the relationships between food, culture, health, and the environment.By the time today’s kindergartner finishes high school, she may have eaten well over 4,000 school meals—4,000 opportunities to strengthen her body and mind, introduce food pleasures that will make her a lifelong healthy eater, and deepen her engagement with the natural world. The more than 5.5 billion lunches and nearly 2 billion breakfasts served yearly in school programs, along with complementary education programs, can have a profound effect on issues of public health, academic performance, economics, justice, national security,

At approximately 0813 hours, on 31-Jul-15, the writer, SSS. E.Durani and Sh/S A.Singh responded to call from POC to attend 3-East. The officers attended and upon arrival the officers were informed by the unit clerk that the patient has left the unit. The officers were also told that the patient was going to Cafeteria. The officers cleared from 3-East and attended Cafeteria. Upon arrival the officers met with the patient’s Care Aide, who asked the officers to escort him back to his unit. Sh/S A.Singh got verbally engaged with the patient and asked him to walk back to the unit. The patient was compliant and walked back to the unit. After taking the patient back to his room, the primary nurse requested the officers to put the lap belt. The patient

“Then how do you explain all the things that still happen to them now?” Savannah then asked me now sounding implacable.

The United States of America was born from a power struggle. Before it was the great international leader that it is today, it was just a wee set of colonies being fought over by the new European inhabitants and the monarchy of England. The people of the colonies won custody from England in a bloody battle and this country has been growing rapidly ever since. Unfortunately, since America is a product of a broken home, it has continued to have control issues; even two hundred years later, no one can ever agree on anything. One of the most significant power struggles seen today is the battle between the federal government and the state government: who really has control? While some rights and policies are explicitly named in the constitution, many others are left up for interpretation (thank the ninth and tenth amendments for this). While many disputes like abortion or marriage rights are prominently debated in the media, there are a few smaller yet still important concerns that are being fought over that are not as commonly discussed. One dividing problem in particular is the matter of public school lunches; while some argue that federal control would be better for students nationwide, others claim that the states know their own people and they should be allowed to make the best decisions.

"Do you know anyone yet?" I asked, only somewhat curios, but mostly distracted by the way she looked away and bit her lip when I asked about her.

“Well if you don’t want me to say the truth, I might as well not say anything at all,” she said, heading over to Ariel as if nothing was wrong and her wearing a stupid hat was a regular occurrence.

Have you ever tasted school cafeteria food? I don’t think you would want to. In school story books, do you have characters saying that the food tasted good at school cafeterias? Nope. Why is this? Cafeteria food is often cheap, bought in bulk, high in calories, malnutritious, and microwaved. Student polls and opinions prove this. Therefore, this leads to a suggestion: Healthier, tastier foods and a better, advanced lunch system should be implemented.

My experience with school lunch isn’t horrible, but it isn’t good either. The lunch in my school isn’t healthy. The pizzas are always so greasy, in fact they’re greaser than the regular pizzas outside of school. And the cheese bread has some sort of liquid inside, making it look soggy. I don’t think that’s normal. Here’s a surprising fact for you, the lowest type of meat (that means meat from old animals and expired meat) is what’s used in school lunches. Gross, right? Who would want to eat expired beef? Do you think expired meat is healthy, and a good source of food? If so, then all you have to do is go to a public school! The lunch at my school doesn’t meet federal standards.

According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, “a cafeteria is a place where people get food at a counter and carry it to a table for eating,” the first know cafeteria dated back to 1891 in Kansas City, Mo. (Encyclopedia Britannia, 2011). Cafeterias or some sort of can be found at almost every school in Trinidad and Tobago, initially vendors who came outside the school’s compound to sell their ‘goodies’ such as; “doubles,” pies and preservatives to students were seen as the first form of cafeteria, now schools have moved to have a cafeteria present within the school compound to provide these services to students. This is seen as a much safer alternative to the vendors as the cafeteria personnel is overseen by the principal of the school who ensures that the goods being sold are prepared under sanitary conditions and doesn’t serve any risk to students. They [cafeterias] serve an important role within the school, as they

I stare begrudgingly at my cereal, lost in the extra few hours of sleep I got, and the feeling that I had wasted my life away. It wasn’t too uncommon; reading books under a night light until the early hours of the morning, falling asleep with my face firmly planted between two pages, and waking up in time for lunch sporting red lines from nighttime papercuts. It worked out it the end, though, the cuts were small and disappeared completely after a day or two, but until then I looked like some tough delinquent who got into fights on a daily basis, or a nerd who had tried to kiss her favorite book and failed miserably. Either one of those I could deal with.
