Malnutrition is a common health problem and is caused by either an inadequate diet or a problem absorbing nutrients from food. There are many reasons why this might happen, including having reduced mobility, a long-term health condition or a low income. The most common symptom of under-nutrition is unplanned weight loss and other signs could be weak muscles, feeling tired all the time, low mood and an increase in illnesses or infections. The main sign of over-nutrition is being overweight or obese. However, people with under-nutrition can also be overweight if they eat a diet high in energy (calories), but low in other nutrients. Signs of malnutrition in children can include failure to grow at the expected rate and changes in behaviour such as appearing unusually irritable, sluggish or anxious

This article by Great Schools is addressed to parents considered about the current school lunches provided to the children in their district. Unlike any other source, this one focuses solely on 3 organizations that advocate. The diversity of the listed projects gives an opportunity to expand on different approaches to solve the various problems of the lunch program. However, there is no attempt to address the current issues of our system, requiring a previous understanding of how the school lunch system currently operates.

Changing the type of food to incorporate delectable choices for students that aids the young palate. Another topic of discussion would be school expenses for other educational supplies that have other important use like desk or electronics that would often need replacement from overuse. With the increase in savings, the school could also explore different options for those students who do not meet open campus policy requirements. Disregarding the teens who are not off campus during lunch to have similar advantages; thus, no food is wasted and the process will become

For many previous years, Anaheim High school has had a couple lunch system changes finally settling on two lunches, both being half an hour long. With both lunches only being half an hour long, for certain, more than one thousand students being in each, imagine the lunch lines! Making line to get your lunch takes already about fifteen minutes, half of a person’s time already, which leaves little time for a student to enjoy their so called meal and free time with friends.Based on other student’s experiences dealing with school lunch, one can rightfully assume that high schoolers would much rather hold in their hunger until after school rather than have the food being provided. There is not a single day that goes by in which a high schooler does not complain about the “worst than jail” food being served to them. This proposal will go into detail about why having an hour off-campus lunch can increase healthier eating habits between the undergraduates of Anahiem High School. In this layout, you will read about the issue of why we believe off- campus lunch would be a healthier choice for Anaheim High school students, you will also encounter our plan of how we intend to carry out this idea, what exactly needs to be done, with the help of who, and so on.

There are several good options at the University of West Florida (UWF), but a few students may have dietary restrictions or allergies. The UWF Argo Galley has limited selections for those who are vegetarians, vegans or have allergies/diet restrictions. UWF Food Cart will offer assorted vegetarian and vegan items. For instance, one day the food cart will have a vegetarian pizza with a cauliflower crust base, topped with several types of vegetables or we may have veggie burgers as a daily special. UWF Food Cart will advertise through social media to inform students of our many locations at the UWF main campus.

The lunches served in Frederick County Schools, and Urbana High School in particular lack nutritional value and are unappetizing. When interviewing Casey Ballow (a student who buys lunch everyday) about whether the school lunches are nutrional she said “The majority of students walk out [of the lunch line] without the most nutritional part of their lunch”. FCPS has made snacks whole grain, which usually makes them less tasty. Packing a lunch is a hassle because it is both time consuming and expensive, not to mention you cannot bring any warm foods. When asked why Casey chooses to buy a lunch, despite getting “soggy chicken patties and burnt french fries” she said “Buying a lunch saves me time in morning”. There is not a wide enough selection of lunch foods for students.

Schools are being forced to spend literally millions of dollars in addition to their already overflowing costs of educating the children of our nation’s taxpayers. Since everyone is paying for these meals either way, we should be told that we are paying taxes to fund lunches that are so expensive because of “the requirement to offer both a fruit and vegetable — previously it was one or the other — and make students take at least one of them in order to receive federal reimbursement for the meal” (Watanabe). With all the new costs of school meals, school districts need the government rebates more than ever, so they follow the rules and make kids take foods that they

Students have become more restricted than ever when it comes to picking the food they want to eat in the cafeteria, most of the food is healthy and has the essential vitamins and calories a student would need. The healthy hunger free kids act was implemented in 2012 and took away the use of grease, high sodium products and more. This aimed to yes take away all the tastier foods but also to try to opt for a more balanced and healthy lunch. When a student purchases a lunch, they are encouraged to take at least one fruit or vegetable and a low-fat milk. However, most of these “required foods” end up in the trash. Most of the time it’s a hit or miss with school lunches because not all school operate the same.

First of all this change would exponentially vary our diet with other hearty choices, which is said to, “give children the energy they need to stay focused, pay attention in class, and learn the information presented to them” (Wittman 2). Compared to the drab, unfulfilling food our cafeteria provides we would be able to use our forty minute lunch period to actually consume a healthful lunch instead of a packaged, processed parcel of our many reheated or a hurriedly prepared lunches from home or school. Besides the benefits to the well being of the students it would also provide the staff a break period. This break would be caused by the decrease in the amount of students who would be at school during lunch. I am able to theorize that many of my fellow students would rather select something from a restaurant in Templeton rather than the school cafeteria. Although this very beneficial augmentation of our lunch privileges would extremely preferred by my fellow students

“There should be a vegetarian/vegan cafeteria to accommodate the increasing number of people who chose to live this type of lifestyle,” one Northeastern student said.

Another effect is that health care is expensive. For kids that don't get to eat have bad health. Their parents can't afford to take them to the doctor to get them better. ("Hunger and Food")

The problem begins to surface when students are fed food in schools that have low nutritional value.

By talking to individual students and learning about their sources of dissatisfaction, I learned that having this leadership position was a collaborative process that involved listening to the complaints of the vegetarian student body and finding a balance among these ideas that would be the most effective to act on. In a sense, I had to become a mediator between the vegetarian student body and the school. I also conducted meetings with the vegetarian student body after school to get a better understanding of what we wanted in our lunches and to get more support of our decision to act through student signatures. With this support and with the help of other students, I submitted this information to a teacher in order to have further action taken

The vegetarian diet has become very popular in today’s culture. Likewise, veganism has also seen a significant rise in popularity, and by extension, these diets have also seen a significant rise in popularity within the teen population. Given the importance of proper nutrition in our daily lives, and the advancements in science and medicine, more specifically the gains in knowledge through the study of nutrition, one might assume that a link exists between the rise in popularity of the vegetarian diet and advances within the field of nutrition. However, temporarily relegate the aforementioned assumption to the background, and it becomes clear that the motivation to change our fundamental diet to that which is trending in popularity varies. Accordingly, is this rise in popularity of the vegetarian diet just another fad diet like many before it, or are these diets really healthy and beneficial? Through reading articles and opinions on vegetarian diets, what becomes clear is that people become vegetarian or vegan for differing reasons. For some, the decision to become a vegetarian is a principled, ethical decision based on an aversion to harming animals. For others, this may be for economic, ecological, or social concerns. Alternatively, others make a decision to change their diet based on a health-conscious determination, while some others make the decision to change their diet based merely on what is currently trending in popularity. However, it is also absolutely necessary for those following a vegetarian diet to be conscious of all the nutrients their body requires, to be fully aware of the possible negative impact of a strict vegetarian diet, as well as to carefully plan their diet to adequately meet all the body’s nutritional requirements.
