Persuasive Speech On Caseta Food

“Studies have shown school organic gardens,salad bars and healthy lunches improve the health and academic performance of young people.”,stated cummins in his text. Andrew P p. Morris, in his article “ Bad-food taxes will clog our economic arteries beyond repair”, states that “ it is no ones business but yours what you eat.” There might be some truth to this but it is shocking on how many people overeat junk food. When advertisements promote healthy food like vegetables and fruits instead of greasy hamburgers and flimsy fries people want to eat healthy . We have let junk food brainwash youths and even adults into thinking that it's okay to eat outside of their home

“We just want changes that don’t unnecessarily increase costs and force students to take foods they have no intention of eating (Source 2, Line 29).” Students would rather eat junk food than the school lunch provided. Although some vegetables and fruits might taste good the “healthy food” they serve in the cafeteria makes the appearance of the food unpleasant. If schools really want to make students healthier they should not be able to buy junk food at school stores. Buying junk food will result in eating the food they purchased at the school store, instead of school

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.

The current state of affairs isn’t ideal for school children as many schools offer children foods of minimal nutritional value with some schools still allowing fast food restaurants to provide their services in high schools and middle schools. The current policies actually contribute to the toxic environment that many children face both at home and at school as those most impacted by the obesity epidemic are minority and poor urban children who don’t have healthy choices at home or in school. Part of the problem

The organization of Debatewise stated that controlling the foods that students consume is important in combating obesity, as the dieting habits that most people form originate from when they were young. This is why it’s so crucial for schools to introduce healthier options in schools. If these unhealthy habits are developed, the students are “at higher risk for having other chronic health conditions and diseases that impact physical health..”, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These conditions can affect them emotionally and physically, including depression and obesity, which are important health issues both linked with the consumption of junk foods. The selling of junk food in schools is not a small problem either, as it concludes from a study by the Institute of Medicine in 2003 that elementary schools earn approximately $442 million annually from junk food sales. The importance of changing the school lunch programs to implement healthier options is high when there is so much money being spent by the students. Although obesity is a real problem due to the selling of junk food, it can lead to other problems that leading a healthier way of living could fix. For instance, the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension states junk foods, due to processing that removes vitamins, minerals, and fiber from the product, are empty calories that are ultimately worthless to the body. This alone contributes to unneeded weight gain and provides no additional sustenances that help the body grow. The Harvard Health Publications describes this to be a serious problem, and acknowledge not only this to be a complication, but mentions the unnecessarily high amounts of sodium levels in the foods, stating that “...the average

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.

Today one in five school-aged children (ages 6-19) have obesity and people debate over how to decrease this number and prevent it from being more of an issue in the future. School lunches are often brought up in this discussion, some say that by getting rid of all junk food in schools would help decrease the number of obese students and prevent them in future by providing only healthy food options. On the other hand, they say that it's not that simple, the problems are at home and that getting rid of these items could decrease revenues for school activities from those products. Many people believe that junk food should be banned from schools across the nation.

What is this food doing to our children? The childhood obesity epidemic has increased because of the contribution of junk food that is being served in public schools. It has been found that children who eat fatty school foods are more likely to become obese than those who brought lunch from home. Why is this we may ask has a lot to do with the above student that I stated brought their lunch from home daily. You can count the intake of calories that is in your lunchbox but you have no idea what is in the food from you school, half of the time you will not even know what the food is. Also, the specials that are provided for students on special food days increases their calorie intake as well such as; pizza day or wing day. On these days children have shown to intake more food because these are the days that they provide greasy foods that taste swell and the children like them so they will gravitate to them because they do not have the proper knowledge to know what this food can do to your body.

These kids are all at risk for obesity and heart disease so it is very important for them to have healthful food choices. Sometimes it is hard because they are in school everyday and their parents are not there to make the decisions for them. The predisposing factor is that most of the parents are all over weight, and are teaching these bad habits to their children. I believe that it is extremely important to help the children. Putting up posters and handing out flyers that explain the risks of obesity and heart disease will benefit them greatly. Having these kids learn all about the bad things that can happen to them will guide them in the right direction when choosing which foods to eat. Also, they will be able to learn and take this knowledge home with them to their parents as well. They will be more likely to avoid the wrong foods if they have the right knowledge about what it can do to their bodies. As for enabling the kids to make the right choices, we can do many different things, but I think our best option would be to change the meal plan in the cafeteria. If we get rid of most of the high fats/sugar foods it will help them in the long

According to the U.S.D.A, (2008), “Some schools say that in order to satisfy students and keep up revenues, they may need to offer foods lower in nutritional quality.” Some say school is supposed to be the place that we lay the foundation to teaching children good, healthy habits that will benefit them for the rest of their life. The actual training of good habits start at home with the continuation at school. Most children do not prefer the taste of healthy foods, but it is important to teach our children at a young age, to eat healthier foods so they can grow up to be healthy

We should educate everyone about food and nutrition. If we apply the tools to life itself it might change the rate of children who are at risk for obesity. Educating the world about obesity could also help redirect the negative economic impact in America. If we do all this and more we could essentially teach people how to make smarter and healthier choices when they are faced with a delicious snack. Prevention efforts for schoolchildren, like the free fruit and vegetable program, are crucial because eating habits develop in childhood. Obese kids turn into obese adults. If parents will not or cannot enforce healthy eating habits, then schools should do what they can to fill that role.( Opposing Viewpoints in Context.

Did you know that kids are dying because of junk food? Thats right, anyone (not just kids) can die from a disease called Malnutrition. Malnutrition is responsible for nearly half of all deaths of children under 5. Malnutrition and poor diet together are also the leading cause of disease in the world. But some schools are feeding kids this disease for lunch. We could destroy this disease if we just start with kids. We need to stop feeding our kids this stuff.

Some people would say just to go ahead ad get rid of the foods ad put more healthier foods in the students’ school lunches instead, because they’re thinking that’s where obesity comes from. I believe their thinking if they just get rid of the unhealthy foods I their school lunches, they wouldn’t be obese. The again, not all of the foods cause them to be obese. They also have to watch their portions, which if they don’t watch their portions, it will make them obese over time. They can eat what they want, it’s just those portions they have to watch.

Have you, ever wanted to know why your school lunch tastes the way it does? Yes? Well if you have then it’s time that you find out what is REALLY in it. I believe that not all of the schools in the U.S. have a very low quality in their cafeterias but, the ones that do got investigated by the USDA because, of their food content that they serve. Most people should question the type of food that is in schools some of the types of food they serve are pizza, chicken nuggets, nachos, hamburgers, etc. (Just to name a few that they serve) To improve school lunches the U.S. should go to more schools and see if they are up to par. It is a known fact that most schools have many obese children in schools.

Junk food, junk food, junk food is around all corners of schools. Chocolate, cookies, soda, potato chips, and Sour Strings may sound delectable to some people, but are they nutritious? Some people wonder if there should be a change. Encouraging exceptional nutrition in schools is essential by reasons of students will consume foods that are better for them, schools will pay less for meals, and fewer students would go hungry.
