English Exam Grade 11

Obesity can often be the consequence of living in a household that instill unhealthy eating habits. Schools can be a positive influence on teens early in life so that obese teens can lead into their adult lives with healthier habits. With these healthier habits, they may likely have more energy to become positive influences in others lives to be healthy and be able to do more. If schools can make such an impact on students’ lives, they should try, even if they needed to sacrifice extra money or instructional time. In 2007, there was a study that only one fifth of high school students had eaten fruits and vegetables at least five times a day in a week (Wexler, 2010). While it is unreasonable to force someone to eat these foods, if they are regularly offered as part of school lunches, students may eat them if they have finished the rest of their lunch and are hungry. Schools should be encouraged to even add fruits and vegetables to vending machines for healthier options.

Sub-point A: Childhood Obesity begins at home. Parents play a big role because they are the ones feeding their child and getting them into the bad habits. Most parents prepare the not so healthy foods because it’s easy to make or buy. Also, parents buy fast foods and not healthy foods because the cost is affordable. Buying fast food and unhealthy foods once a week turns into twice a week, three times a week, until it just becomes part of their daily life. Furthermore, Parents give candy and sugary foods to make their child happy not realizing the consequences this could have for their child.

In English 111 I have struggled with many assignments over the course of the semester, picking myself up over time from countless mistakes on papers, to procrastinating on basic class work assignments. Before Fall semester, I had no idea what college would be like, or how hard it could be. Things were not the same as high school; it was different to a point where college seemed a lot harder than it was supposed to be. In English 111, I got the chance to meet new students and different professors that have helped guide me to success throughout the semester.

According to National Heart Lung and Blood institute, in America, 1 in 6 kids are obese. Although obesity might not seem that much of a big deal, it is. Childhood obesity can lead to much worse health problems later in adulthood, such as higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, hypertension, and even cancer, among many chronic health issues all caused by obesity. Many kids get about half of their daily calories at school, and for some, school is where they get all of their daily calories. Since school plays such a big part in affecting the lives of many kids across America, special attention should be shown to nutrition. This can help kids with obesity, as well as kids that don’t have much food at home to eat and only rely on school food. For many poor kids, they don’t have a lot of healthy foods at home, because they can’t afford it. So, they rely on cheap school food for their vitamins and nutrients. Because cafeteria foods, like hamburgers or beef and cheese nachos, are highly processed and filled with unnecessary fat ,those kids that rely on school for food won’t get the nutrients and vitamins they need and will go home hungry. Since kids are growing up, it is especially important for them to get the right food they need to grow up healthy and strong, and in a place full of kids that are growing up, it is only right to provide them with good and healthy food that will allow the kids to grow up into healthy adults without obesity, malnourishment, or any kind of health

“But, just like home-cooked food, with sufficient time and encouragement, children can be persuaded to try new foods.” (pg.2) With information on what is healthy and what is needed in a diet, changes can be made to change bad habits of eating junk food and start eating properly. As children learn what is bad and good for them they will take time to think on whether to eat an apple or candy. With that it will help the children start eating healthy rather than unhealthy junk food. With educated parents on this subject they will know what to have their children eat and not to eat. They can start serving them healthy breakfasts and dinners as they eat healthy lunches at school, as well as provide them with healthy snacks. Education is keen to make a positive outcome on someone’s

Do you know what it means to be healthy? What was the last thing YOU ate? Do you realize that these things are bad for you? I get it eating healthy can be a problem for some people even though you may just be that person that chooses not to eat healthy it can still be a struggle. Everyone and their family enjoy eating things such as (Cakes,Pies,Ice Cream,Cookies,etc.) so why would you choose to eat healthy foods over that? And in this essay I will be explaining many different reasons as to why many people need to cut down on the junky foods and to start eating healthy.

Also, will change the menus' from nonessential foods with more required or needed foods. More fruits and vegetables will be introduced to students. Overall better food choices in schools will change students to want to eat better foods. Schools will be able to cut out unnecessary junk food. For example: schools could take out pizza and replace it with a more healthier version. Students would be able choose grapes and apples rather than bags of chips or candy bars. Lunch workers would cut out unhealthy side items and replace them with more vegetables or fruits. Schools in general would cut out unhealthy lunches and replace them with more healthy and natural based foods. If schools made the switch to healthier lunches, it would help their students become healthier. It would provide students with better lunch choices. Schools would be able to cut out or change junk foods to more fruits and vegetables. Schools need to make the switch to healthier lunches for the health of

Thank you for your time today. I am writing to you in hope that you will understand the issue and be motivated to make changes due to it. In the united states at least 678,000 deaths each year die due to poor diet, lack of nutrition, obesity and obesity rates have tripled in children. Children all learn what they know, and that includes knowledge on a proper diet, in school, so why are schools not helping enough in this matter? Why are schools hiding healthy eating habits behind bought pizzas and chips and other junk foods in the cafeteria? We, in the united states, are required to educate children in health at schools, through P.E. and health classes, and should not undermine their work by giving out the opposite of what we suggest. Many may say that this takes away freedom or is not that big of a problem, but do children really want to be obese or unhealthy? Do students want to die young from linked diseases such as Diabetes type 2 and cardiovascular diseases? No. They would still have food choices, but they would be able to have better options to choose, ones where facts and statistics do not cause fear in parents, but happiness.

Of all of the problems that dishearten children today, the one that bothers them the most is being unhealthy. Five out of six students from the Manalapan Englishtown Middle School agree that there should be a change in the schools' cafeteria foods; they came up with a solution to help kids be healthy. Unhealthy foods should be eliminated in schools for many reasons. First of all, kids concentrate better when they are healthy. Being healthy helps children to concentrate better because if they are healthy in the inside and the outside, they will not have to worry about their health or how they look. Secondly, having only healthy foods in school help parents to take good care of their kids. For instance, imagine a mom that is a seventh

Should changes be made to the regulations for the foods that are served in public schools? This can be a very controversial question to most people; children with obesity, parents who do not care and for who does care about the health of the children and teachers who only wants what is best for the benefit of the children. This paper will attempt to explain and convince the unknown of why it is very important for our public schools to have a healthy eating curriculum for the children that attends there. If society can find a way to come together for the children of the community to fight to have healthier foods in the community, come together and provide counsel to the children of what healthy eating is all about. This paper will
