School Lunch Persuasive Essay

Off campus lunch should be allowed at Hebron High School in order to have a more spacious environment for the students , more time to do things and giving them more freedom.

People in Houston were told to evacuate their homes and to leave everything behind, due to the hurricane, but they couldn’t leave everything so they compromised and only brought with them the things that were an absolute necessity. Not a lot of people are able to compromise so easily. For some people this is a hard subject to grasp. Food is a major thing to in society today that not many people can agree on. Food is such a huge part of our everyday lives, but when two people are asked what they want to eat it seems that no one can come to an agreement. Food, however, is, “something beautiful to be shared with people” (M.F.K. Fisher), not something to cause problems and arguments when a decision about the food can’t be made. More often than not it’s really hard to compromise, but when it’s for the greater good and taking in account people other than yourself, there’s a certain satisfaction earned. In order to be considered a “well-rounded person” in society, it is inevitable that one has the ability to compromise. I had to experience compromise first hand in the humid, swampy, hot, seafood loving, Louisiana. “Four regions of south Louisiana were settled by the Cajuns.” (Ducote). So it’s probably pretty safe to say that Louisiana houses some pretty good, traditional Cajun food. This experience has helped me to realize my place in our culture when in comes to being a cordial, agreeable person.

It is no secret that school lunches are unhealthy. The problem is that on a daily basis will cause us problems beyond our childhood and into our future down the road. Eating a unhealthy meal here and there in moderation is one thing but eating unhealthy food's on a daily basis for more than half a year for over 13 years can cause obesity, lead to physical problems and lastly mental health issues. The schools are responsible for us when we are not at home and they claim they do what’s best for us but foods high in calories, fat and sugars is not what I would call doing a good job. The school system will argue that if we offer healthier alternatives that the students would not eat it and just throw it away.

Americans love to eat anything crazy. If a meal that has triple-wrapped bacon hot-dog fried in panko crumbs stuffed cheese that is filled with diabetes, Americans would devour it. Unhealthy foods have been apart of the American diet as a commonality, more than healthy foods should be. Unhealthy junk foods consist of unnecessary fats, oils, sugars, high-fructose corn syrup, MSG, and many more. Healthy foods have been increasingly disappearing from our restaurants every second. However, young people need a healthy diet to live a long and fulfilling life from self-inflicting diseases. Authors like Jane E. Brody, Mark Bittman, Alice Waters, and Katrina Heron all advocate for healthy foods. Jane E. Brody in “Attacking the Obesity Epidemic by First Figuring Out Its Cause” describes the cause of the obesity epidemic and proposes many solutions against it. Alice Waters and Katrina Heron in “No Lunch Left Behind” discuss the accessible healthy foods students are in dire need of instead of the processed trash. Mark Bittman in “Bad Food? Tax it, and Subsidize Vegetables” elaborates on the many benefits from taxing “bad food” and subsidizing vegetables such as reducing healthcare costs, improving health, and many more. All of these authors fight for a healthy American diet. As a fellow human being, this epidemic must be solved and it starts with youth. Many schools’ lunches and available snacks/foods are more unhealthy than to be nutritional. However, schools do try to combat junk food. Based on school data, surveys, and nationwide statistics, unhealthy foods should be taxed and healthy, natural foods should be subsidized and be more available for schools and eventually all people for a healthier lifestyle.

School lunches aren’t generally healthy. Many students eat hamburgers, fries, pizza, or salty snacks, and while it is delicious, it does make you gain weight. Consequently, people may concur with this change because of its advantageous, and being healthy does raise our vitality levels, but will students acknowledge this change? They may like fruits, but vegetables are a hard choice to relish, especially broccoli, spinach, and bean sprouts. Many students will either discard the healthy food, or not eat at all. People can’t force students to enjoy healthy food.

Growing up, one of the superlative parts of school commencing again in the fall was going out to find new school lunch boxes. These were typically made of metal back then, though there were some that were made of solid plastic. The prevalent television shows of the day were highlighted on these, as well as movies and even singers. Though the latter has not altered, lunch boxes at large are not the same as they were back then. They do the similar thing, but they can do them in very diverse ways. Your children might still feel the same way about finding the impeccable box, but there are more selections now.

From my experiences with high school education, no topics were specific with nutrition and obesity related diseases. I did not have any nutrition education about food and health until I took this nutrition class and I feel as my friends are in the same position as I was in, coming out of high school and barely know anything about nutrients. We grew up in generations with McDonalds and Taco bell constantly being promoted, with catchy phrases to beg our parents to go eat there. Our schools served Wednesday Alfy’s Pizza and had nuggets with fries as an option every day in high school. When we got home many of our parents were constantly working and the convenience of these fast. I do believe that many people do have a little understanding what these foods do to your body or continue to eat these foods for the convenience. If the government was to put relations on these foods there would be a decrease on diet related diseases. If the government prohibited the sale of unhealthy foods in schools, children would be getting a larger percentage of healthy foods at school. If the news cast reported the deaths of diet related diseases instead of homicide every day, I think Americans would better judgement on the food they are eating.

When something is detrimental to our health, we strive to avoid it whenever possible to extend our lives. We know that exposure to known cancer causing agents such as asbestos and lead paint is harmful; therefore, we do not expose ourselves to the risk and we certainly do not eat it. This seems simple; however, what do we do when that harmful vice is food? We cannot stop eating; instead, we must closely examine what we are putting into our bodies. When faced with the choice of a burger or grilled vegetables, most would choose the burger. These choices have lead us down a path littered with food related diseases, illnesses and rising healthcare costs. The state of Americans health is declining due to increasing obesity, diabetes and

Fast food industries have increased within the last few years, starting from 1950s up until now. Each year Americans choose to live unhealthy lifestyles causing America to be one of the countries with a high rate obesity. Young adults from the age of eighteen to twenty-six are usually the main targets, but instead of falling into temptations they can choose to live a better lifestyles, and eat healthier foods. If people want to see the obesity rate in American reduce, they have to consider what they are eating is not beneficial for them. It is very hard to give up certain foods, but remember most foods now are made from saturated fats. The obesity epidemic has been a topic that turns into a argument worldwide. People want to know who is to blame for the future generation becoming obese. In reality the ones pointing the finger and making assumptions are the ones that need to be educated on why fast food companies are not to blame but the consumers are.

The intercom beeps loudly, marking commencement of a passing period, but for students who have lunch this marks the beginning of a race to see who can get to the lunchroom the fastest in hope of being excluded from the long waiting time in the lunch line. In the 2017-2018 school year, there has been an increase in students at Jones College Prep due to more and more incoming freshman and transfers. Because of this increase, the lunch lines have increased in length and have even, at times during C-lunch in the north building, reached the path leading towards the link in the lunchroom. The lunch lines during lunch at Jones College Prep are extremely long damaging students in a physical and emotional way and they need to be fixed immediately.
