School Lunchers Should Be Allowed In Public Schools

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.'

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.

HELP! I'm dying!... because school lunches are cringing! Students should be allowed to leave class during lunch hours, and be trusted to leave and return back in time for their next class. If high schools gave students this right it would teach them how to manage their time wisely and it would help them become responsible. Students who leave campus during lunch are most likely end up going to a local business to get their lunch which is both good for the students and the local businesses. Students with special food allergies could leave campus during lunch and go to their homes and get food they could actually eat and not be worried that their food could have been cross contaminated to something they're allergic to. Students who leave campus during lunch would come back energized and ready for their next classes.

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.

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

As of 2017, millions of families in the United States live in poverty. As a result, this forces parents in between a rock and a hard place. This position of food insecurity, when someone is in a state where they are not able to access good quality food, leaves families with some cheap, unhealthy choices for food. Yet still, there are many other reasons as to why the United States is pressed with the major issue of food insecurity. One reason stems from the quality of American school lunches compared to those in other countries. Another is the link between hunger and obesity and the long-term health consequences of relying on processed foods for sustenance.

Kids don’t like school lunch. It tastes bad and we don’t get the “at home feel” when we eat it. Kids should be allowed to leave school as long as they are back on time. School lunches are proven to be unhealthy. Students aren’t as active if they eat school lunch.

The clock reads 11:39, in a few seconds the most important bell of the day will ring--the lunch bell. This bell sends students rushing to the cafeteria; some students will sit quietly at a table unpacking their lunch from home, others will wait in line to receive a lunch provided by the school. Everyday across America more than 31 million school lunches are served. The majority of these lunches fall under the regulations of the National School Lunch Program. The program, funded and regulated by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), has raised many questions among American citizens. One very important question is whether or not the government should be allowed to regulate/ban certain foods in the nation's school system. The government,

When it comes to the topic of schools changing their lunch policies, most of us will readily agree that schools should keep the same lunch periods and bring in off- campus lunches. Where this agreement usually ends however, is on the question of if students will be wasting food, money, and time. Whereas some are convinced that a longer lunch period, and the chance to leave school is the better option, others believe that if they leave campus it will be too congested driving around for lunch. Although students should get the chance to save food, and money, if they stay on campus they can have the opportunity to have off- campus food places catered to them.

We should have longer school lunches for more time to eat, to talk, and to have some time to ourselves. Having time to ourselves will be to prevent stress and so we could also have time to do our homework and study time for test. They need to annihilation 30 minute lunches. Also more time to eat would help because not all people eat super fast. Sometimes you could be waiting in line to get food for at least 10 minutes or more. Also having the doors open where the paras sit by blocking them, they should be open and so we don’t feel trapped in one room. We should be able to walk around the school but not go into other classrooms and disrupt their class going on. The paras are opprobrium for strict criticism. People actually want time to eat

I think that the district should fund school lunches more or this could remain a serious problem. Some kids don’t eat lunch and they don’t get to eat until a few hours later when they arrive home. Several other problems include some of the lunches aren’t healthy, they don’t fill kids and are just plain bad. Some examples of how my solution would impact the kids is that the school can order/make better or fresher food. Also the lunches could have more vitamins and nutrients if it’s made in the kitchen. Therefore if the food was ordered, it would be from a better, more well-known brand for making that specific food, and they would arrive before anything so that lunch is ready for the kids. I believe that if the school district funded school lunches

In her presentation “what’s wrong with school lunches” Ann Copper (2007) stats that school lunches is a social justice issue. In the United Stats there are a series of problems in the food system . only few companies control the most of the commercially produced seeds in America, it makes people’s grocery choose lack. Also there are a lots of chemicals be used in animal husbandry, but government allow these kind thing happened. Further more many companies invested huge amount of money on advertising non-nutrient food, this will mislead our children on their food chooses. Moreover the thing is much more prisoners than farmers, so we do need import food from other countries. These kind things bring out very considerable consequences such as our

Hey! Are you tired of the same old thing in the school lunchroom? What changes would you make? I would change a couple things,and this is what they would be, I would like to have the NFL channel to watch, having a buffet of meats and a share of desserts, the last thing would be true restaurant style including booths and tables.

Kids/teens are getting diagnosed with diabetes every day. Some even end up obese and get bullied about it. I wouldn’t like a life like that. School lunch isn’t really helping out on that situation either. They’re feeding us things that are harming us, just so that they can make money. And it’s wrong! I think that school lunches should be healthier, and it should mean something to the people that we’re getting obese or diabetes. It is their fault we the young generation end up like this. School lunches are a hazard for us, later in our lives we’ll struggle to lose weight. And not just that but some diabetes can kill us, like type 2 diabetes. Oh and no one wants to be made fun of their whole lives, for being overweight. Then there’s the other

Students learn and do their best when they are hungry, and uncomfortable! That makes perfect sense right? If you’re like most Americans, this may be one of the most ridiculous statements you have ever heard. I know I have never done anything better hungry. Many students sit through their lunch time at school because they have no food to eat because they don’t have the money to afford it, or they are not able to bring food from home for various reasons. This is why many schools have free and reduced lunch programs. But not everybody can apply for these programs; even middle class families in today’s economy sometimes can’t give their child cash every day. Times are tough, and every family is different. These are good programs, but they are
