Food Trucks For Lunch

When attending a major sporting event or amusement park, the prices of food & drinks are always significantly more expensive than at an average convenience store or restaurant. There is no possibility that the food being purchased should cost that much, but these people are hungry & thirsty with no other choices, so they buy it anyway. Unfortunately, Grand Canyon University students deal with this on an everyday basis within the Lope Shops on campus. The approximate 15,500 students living on campus are forced to pay highly inflated prices for simple groceries at every available store on campus (Abraham, 2016, para. 2). GCU should lower the prices of groceries in on-campus shops or provide

Using this type of tone, Waters and Heron inform the people of the truth behind the food served at schools and how it is lacking the needed health benefits for the students. They asked how much money would be needed to feed 30 million students a wholesome meal and their answer was “It could be done for about $5 per child, or roughly $27 billion a year, plus a one-time investment in real kitchens” (Par. 7). When stating this, they also acknowledges the cost is expensive, but reminds us that it would bring long-term savings and prevent many health issues. Informing the readers of both the pros and cons of feeding 30 million students, it allows the authors persuade the readers to lean towards the author’s

A public school in Washington DC require 1,25 dollar per meal for the student, but the prize would increase significantly if the government would have delivered the food. Even though the buy and deliver thousand of tons of food around the coutriy the meal choices reflect federal nutritional recommendations, regional culinary preferences, and local district economics. What's a "good school lunch" consist of, still remains a hot debate.

Nationwide students waist over 70% of fruits and vegetables,while others are sitting around without food at all in other places(Public brief). Some students only get the 2 meals they are provided with at school ,but they often are not provided with enough to eat. Its import for low income and less fortunate families to be provided enough time to eat to make sure they are receiving there energy and daily nutrients(Godoy& Allison). Increasing the school lunch time will also save the schools a great amount of money(Public brief). School lunch food wasted to cost $1.2 billion dollars each year,which is enough for a person to buy a new car everyday of there life(Public brief). A simple increase in time could save schools a bunch of money needed to improve the school building and faculty. Many cafeteria staff and teachers have reported complaints about how students aren't eating all their food and they have to throw it away(EHHI). Most of the time in high schools foods are sold à la carte instead of a full meal to avoid having to throw away or make more food(EHHI). As a result of the food waste cafeterias started using foods with more fats and less nutritious items to get students to eat( EHHI). Cafeteria are selling french fries and not the healthy food to make there money because students aren't eating enough of the

“The joy and satisfaction of a meal is equal to the passion and effort given its preparation.” Said by famous chef -Gordon Ramsay. Gordon Ramsay a known chef around the world loves to cook food for everyone, but some people don’t have the ability during the school day to buy a lunch. So, kids that are in school get hungry throughout the day and they only have one period dedicated to their food. I think that all schools should have vending machines all around the school and not just in the cafeteria, and open during the whole school day. Some kids in most schools have a reduced lunch or might not be able to buy a lunch at all. Students may have up to one dollar and that’s only enough for one item from the vending machines so they have to wait until their lunch period.

Open lunches offer to provide students with skills of responsibility. If schools allow students to leave for lunch, those students are then responsible for

School lunches can me disgusting to some students. Students may have allergies that the school lunch has that day. The schools not all the time have what you would want.

School lunch rooms have been evolving over the last decade. Healthier food choices and better-quality food are just two of many improvements happening inside school cafeterias. Although school lunch rooms are making various positive changes, there are still negative consequences for some students. Most students can go through the lunch line and not have to worry about the cost of the meal and whether they have enough money to buy a hot lunch. On the other hand, some students are constantly worrying about not being able to eat lunch due to the price. According to a CNN article titled “School Lunch Shaming” by Heather Long, “…an alarming number of American youngsters still can’t afford a $2.35 lunch, despite the dramatic expansion of free and reduced lunch programs” (paragraph 1), which demonstrates the struggles that these low-income families face when it comes to buying their student school lunches. Staff working in cafeterias have started to “shame” those students by taking away the student’s food and giving them a bag containing a cheese sandwich and milk to those students who are unable to afford their lunch. States such as New Mexico are taking a stand against school lunch shaming and have banned lunch shaming completely. Long also explained that, “The USDA is urging districts to stop “embarrassing” and “singling out” students who don’t have enough money for lunch” (paragraph 9), which further demonstrates the lengths people are going to solve the lunch shaming issues.

If school lunch prices do rise in cost, then one out of three people in Hebron would probably be struggling to provide food for their kids and family. While some people may be able to afford this change of cost for school lunches, many people who qualify for ALICE were already struggling and making the lunch prices go up by even as little as 10-20 cents could make things a lot worse for these people. Although the lunches are healthier, it’s not worth making them healthier if students can’t afford them and therefore bring unhealthy lunches. Aside from that, students could just buy the unhealthy option from, for example, vending machines opposed to the healthier school lunch just because it costs less which would make the whole change overall,

In schools around Negaunee and around the world there are open campus for lunch. This gives students more option and healthier options for food besides the school lunch or a cold bag lunch. This also shows student that they have to have the ability to manage time. This also give kids time to break up the day and relax.

It would make the lunch ladies life easier, the volunteers who make sure the lines are straight in lunch and of course you, Principal, since there wouldn’t be as many problems caused in lunch with almost half of them out of campus. It would help the school save money on free lunch and help purchase other stuff for the school like supplies for both students and teachers. Most 11th and 12th graders are mature enough to know what is right and what is wrong, meaning they will come back once they are finished eating.

Yes, it will be very expensive to start serving fresh foods rather than processed foods, but money should not be an issue in our country when it comes to the well-being and health of the citizens of our country. Instead of wasting all of this money on war, politics, etc., our government should use it towards things that are more important. For instance, instead of buying processed foods, which are cheap but useless, they can buy fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, etc. Even better, if there was an option they should make sure that it is all organic so that there are no chemicals/pesticides in them. In an article named, “the War on School Lunch,” written by Heather Gilligan, she stated, “In addition to new dietary standards, the 2010 act introduced the $5 million Farm to School program, which came with three mandates. To make grants that support farm-to-school programs (thereby enabling districts to swap out those boxes of processed goods in favor of local fruits, vegetables, and meats); to encourage school gardens; and to support nutrition education.”(Gilligan) This shows that slowly but surely, there is a positive change happening in our National School Lunch Program because they took out the processed foods and replaced them with fresh handpicked foods, with the help of five million dollars. Nevertheless, this is just the beginning. We must push harder and harder so that every single school in our nation changes their lunch system the same

Besides financially, providing free lunch for students and reducing hunger will help student’s academic performance in the classroom. This helps the teacher in the long run as students have better test performance’s, and are better behaved (Pyke, 2013.) According to No Kids Hungry annual education survey three quarters of America’s teachers say they have students who routinely show up to class hungry. (www.nokidhungry.org). Also in this report it states that many of the free and reduced lunch programs are hugely under enrolled. If students were able to receive free lunch and breakfast at schools, an estimated 3.2

On the other hand, you may be thinking, “$3.75-$4.75 is cheap for a school lunch”, “Who would pay for it?”, or “If it’s good enough for school standards, then it MUST be healthy”. $3.75-$4.75 is not cheap with the economy failing and families having to stretch their dollars. About a year ago, the lunch was $2.50. If a student bought a $4.75 lunch every day for a month, about thirty days, the total would be $142.50. Multiply that by twelve months and it is $1,710 a YEAR. Compared to the $900 a year with the $2.50 meal, lunch prices ARE pretty darn expensive. Secondly, if enhanced foods and lunch system were implemented, some might say it would take a huge amount of money to actually start the project. However, if tax dollars are enough to pay for billion dollar roads, then it’s enough to start a respectable lunch system. A portion of the tax dollars could be used instead of it all going to highway and road construction. Finally, the food may fit school standards, but it may not be such a good choice. Most people eat 2,000 to 2,500 calories a day, depending on their needs. How healthy could a tortilla with beans, or a piece of meat slapped between two slices of bread, be? Not to mention the amounts of saturated fat, trans fat, and salt! If you checked the

A food truck is like restaurant on wheels. It has several distinct advantages over a traditional eat-in restaurant. A food truck can go to where the customers are. It has pretty low overhead, compared to a restaurant, and requires far less staff. However a food truck is still a business that requires a lot of work and attention- especially in the first couple of years. Food truck owners put in long days and have similar problems as restaurant owners, such as slow seasons, bad weather, and sluggish economy. Read on to find out how you can start your own food truck business.
