Chapter 6 Summary

Since 2009 Schools have been improving there healthy choices of food like fresh fruits and salad bars,but those foods take longer to eat (Hellmich). Turning school lunches into an actual sit down meal rather than a feeding frenzy is a good way of improving health (Parker-Pope). Students usually have less than 20 minutes to eat lunch which makes it less likely for them to choose the healthy choice (Elsevier). Kids often like to eat there favorite foods first,not giving them enough time to eat the healthy food (Hellmich). An increase in school lunches could encourage students to eat the healthier choice(5 Elsevier). School nutritionist suggest that students need to have atlas 20 minutes to eat (Hellmich). Research shows that when people consume meals faster they take in more calories because they get hungry sooner (Chen). The shorter lunch periods are starting to lead to more and more obese and overweight kids ( Hellmich). Doctors are saying there are more and more kids getting diabetes and other illnesses due to the lunches and something needs to be done about it

School lunches are not the epitome of meals in the world. Raising the level of nutritional output would highly increase the healthiness of the student’s body. For example, if a child were to drink only water at school the health benefits would help that student, just by cutting out the sugar and the calorie intake. If schools were to serve grilled chicken instead of fried chicken, the student would not have that extreme carb intake just from the fried part alone. Chicken and vegetables should be the entrée for most school lunches, of course, this does not allow for a great variety of meals, but the healthiness of the students would increase over time and could possibly be the healthiest thing they eat that day, but the only thing that they eat at all. The poverty in Mississippi is abundant, which may mean that children do not get three square meals a day, but maybe only one, which is at school. Therefore, the best way to affect student’s healthiness is by putting good, nutritious, and energizing food on the plate in front of

Golden touches upon foreign racisms in chapter seven, and uses effective comparisons to emphasize and elaborate on his mocking tone and the overall purpose. Chapter seven convinces readers that American elite universities are denying the acceptance to most Asian-American and other foreign raced student candidates. University goals are to expand diversity and culture, but only foreign wealthy students from the top boarding schools around the world are being accepted to American colleges, some would suggest because of their money.

If students ate healthier school lunches, it would result in healthier food choices at home. Children who are provided with sugary, fatty foods at school can develop poor eating habits at home. School lunches that provide more calories than a child needs to maintain their body weight can lead to weight gain and obesity. Overeating can not only compromise the child's health, but lead to health problems in the future. Children who are overweight have increased risks of developing health problems and become obese adults. Healthy lunches with appropriate portions can help support a healthy

Lunch is a very vital part of our day. Lunch provides one-third of our total calories for the day. A healthy lunch leads to a more nutrient intake per day. School lunches provide some healthy food, but not all. Many of the foods at our schools lead to obesity.For example, nachos leads to obesity. I thought they changed the school lunches to make them healthier. According to research done by “Journal of school Health”, the healthier our luncher are the the average student does in class.

Consuming certain foods can alter behavior and mood because they trigger chemical and psychological changes in the brain (Ricketts). Eating healthy and consuming enough of the proper nutrients helps to avoid these negative changes that impact one’s mood. Providing students with healthy lunches on a regular basis can help improve their mood or behavior. Furthermore, according to the American Psychological Association, eating healthy on a regular basis helps one “avoid feelings of low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression” ("Mental and Behavioral Benefits of Good Nutrition”). The healthier school lunches can improve students’ moods temporarily, it can impact them longterm and help them avoid larger problems like mental illness. More specifically related to school, students tend to behave better in the classroom and at school after eating a healthy lunch. They are better able to cope with stress and regulate their emotions when they have a healthy diet ("Mental and Behavioral Benefits of Good Nutrition”). The pressure put on them by school and other factors are dealt with easier. Younger students are less likely to have emotional outbreaks, get cranky or upset, or be disobedient in class when they have proper nutrition. This creates a healthier and more productive learning environment for students and teachers. Though the program has brought on a lot of positive impact on the health of children, some

To illustrate this idea, the author describes, “In 2012, 1 in 3 American children were overweight or obese. Overweight children may develop diseases, including heart diseases, and diabetes.” That is to say, out of three kids one is overweight or obese which could bring serious consequences a later age. It seems to me that, schools giving nutritious lunches is beneficial for kids with overweight problems. In short, having this program would help with the situation of childhood

School lunches play a significant role in nutrition of a nine-year-old girl because many meals are eaten at school. School lunch programs provide the basis of nutrition education for children. According to the Federal Register, the school lunch programs work to support the overall wellness of students.6 Healthy food options are promoted by the standard of the school lunch programs because children are impacted significantly by what they observe to be normal. The article addresses the importance of healthy lunch options in schools to promote an overall healthy

Chapters 7 is mainly about how in order to be a good learner one must put the “content” that they learn into ways that only they understand. The book states that, “all content is organized by concepts… there is no way to learn a body of content without learning the concepts that define and structure it.” Chapter 8 gives one ideas on how to become a better learner and also gives insight about college classes and how to get the most out of lectures. Chapter 9 addresses the five levels of thinking or “grades” that students can use to assess their learning. They are the exemplary students (grade of A), high-performing students (grade of B), mixed-quality students (grade of C), and low-performing students (grade of D or F).

The new school breakfast and lunch program focus on providing students with nutrient-dense meals that is low in calories. The program is targeting to reduce childhood obesity and improve the diet and health of school children. With the increase in fruits and vegetable consumption along with the decrease in sodium and fats consumption, this program is also favorable among parents because it is a means to prevent the risk of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, stroke, and type 2 Diabetes (Federal, 2012, p.3). The National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs require schools to make changes to their menu base on the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies recommendations. Schools need to increase the availability of variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and non-flavor reduce fat milk; reduce the levels of sodium, saturated fat and trans fat in students’ meal; and stay within the recommended range of calories intakes.

Children consume most their daily meals from school, therefore it is important policy makers to ensure that school foods are health and nutritious. Like most people, children main eat 3 meal per day, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Every morning during the weekdays, children across the United states head to school before eating the most important meal of the day, breakfast. American schools are required to serve student a breakfast and lunch. Students in grade school obtain breakfast from their cafeteria upon arrival to school. The breakfast, along with other meals provided by the school has a great impact on the health status. Food as well as refreshment (i.e water, juice, carbonated drinks) are considered as two of the most important determinant of health. These substances fall under the individual behaviors which is a factor

Many children do not have the opportunity to eat breakfast on a regular basis because of working parents, long commutes, or the inability of families to provide enough food. Studies have shown that children whose nutritional needs are met have fewer attendance and discipline problems, and their ability to learn is enhanced.

Eating healthy can acquire its advantage, but do you ever think of how new lunches could be a hindrance to some people. Healthier lunches can be more expensive and many low-incomes houses may not be able to afford the new lunches. Many low-income students rely on school’s meals to fill them up, but if they can't obtain lunch, they have no choice but to starve. “Here are hundreds of thousands of children that sit on the sidelines in the cafeteria that will say they are not hungry while other kids are not eating. They are afraid of being labeled as
