Let School Lunches

Maize South Middle School should not serve fast food because fast food will cost more than other lunches. If the school starts serving fast food they will have to buy more and more food which will cost more money for schools. Since it’ll cost schools more it will cost students more for their lunches as well. Public schools such as Maize South are supposed to be cheap and inexpensive for kids who can’t afford anything more and if they serve more expensive fast food some kids may not be able

Do you think your school needs improvements? I think my school has a few, but the lunches are easily the most recognizable. The school board should change our lunches because they are microwaved, they are not filling, and the school lunches have the same thing every day of the week. Seriously, none of the kids like them, so just get us brand named foods.

One of the most controversial issues today is the question of how to address childhood obesity. Because of the large proportion of meals that children, particularly low-income children, consume in schools, cafeteria food has been targeted by dietary reformers as in need of a major overhaul. However, while many different types of new school menus have been proposed, the extent to which healthier foods can be offered remains controversial. Opponents to reform state that children will not eat healthier lunches, and that changing the food that children eat will have minimal impact, since the children will either bring food from home or eat food at home that is more 'kid friendly.'

Maize South Middle School should not serve fast food because unhealthy, expensive, and takes time. It is unhealthy because it could cause cancer, it could rotten the students teeth, and it could starve the students. It’s expensive because it is a lot of money, they have to save a lot of money, and the teachers won’t get a lot of money. Also it takes time because it will take a lot of time to get the food, they might not have it ready for the students, and they might have to take time out of anything to get food. To conclude, fast food served in our school isn’t

Everyone loves the idea of a government that truly cares about him or her. Especially a government that would go so far as to layout a healthy diet plan to insure the health of your children and to battle childhood obesity. It is great that the government is concerned about adolescent obesity and the nutrition students receive at school. However, the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) Food and Nutrition Guidelines provide more problems for schools and they need to be eradicated, as well as repealing the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act.

Children in America are faced with different choices every day. Some of these choices can be either good or bad for them. But these children don't really know the consequences of their actions, but the school does. Schools are serving unhealthy and un properly cooked meals to children every single day. These food companies make big money from these schools because the schools just buy the lunches so the kids will eat something. The schools don't really care what goes into the students stomachs, but as long as the school meets the requirements it's okay. Then the students just eat it because it looks and taste good, but they don't have an idea of what their eating is made out of or where it has been before. The government needs to start making school lunches more healthy for these students, if not then then unfortunately the number of obese children will rise.

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.

How would you like it if the lunch lines weren’t so full but your students all had a filled stomach? Well I honestly believe that if you gave only 11th and 12th graders the opportunity to leave campus for lunch and it would make everyone’s life easier.

The health of students should be considered one of the most important issues in education. However, as of 2012, the Center for Disease Control calculated that over one third of children and adolescents were either overweight or obese. Not only does obesity cause physical health problems, but can also affect the academic performance of students. Over the past few years, Americans have been working together to find solutions for this problem.

Do you live in a school district that has questionable school lunches for kids? Packing a lunch will be a healthier option and can even save you some money too. If you are already doing this, then a great way to save time is to prepare make ahead school lunches.

For my article it talked about why the happy meals are not so happy. In other words why we shouldn't eat school lunches so often. ‘Its unacceptable to not just as the first lady but also as a mother’ said michelle obama.The USDA said that 90% of schools are already meeting the standards of giving good school lunches including, vegetables, fruits and no more soda at school vending machines.

Did you ever wonder if schools should try to have fast foods why? Schools should have fast foods, seeing that students are getting tired of school lunches also, school lunches now and then aren’t so good. Maybe it won’t be a deficient idea to have fast foods in school also schools can be getting extra money.

Attention getter: 20.1% as of the year 2010. 5 to 10 is the number of meals a child eats at school. The percentage of obese children in the US. The number is 4 times higher than 1970s. If you have been to elementary, middle or high school, at some time, you have been exposed to canteen food.

One of the things that I feel that needs to change in the everyday lives of children is school lunches, if kids keep eating the way they do the rise of obesity in our country will never diminish. I am not really familiar in the process that goes into making school lunches or what ingredients and nutrients are in them, i do know from personal experience that they are not the healthiest things that kids should be consuming everyday. From my personal experience, after just graduating high school, I could see the healthier changes trying to be made in lunches. Breads were being turned to whole grain, kids had to have a vegetable or fruit, i could tell the people in the lunchroom really tried to enforce these rules and restrictions. School cafeterias have steered away from actual cooking in cafeterias, everything is now just preparing pre cooked food, such as; pizza, corn dogs, frozen eat etc.
