Smart Lunch In High School

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.

The National School Lunch Program is a federally funded meal program operating in over 100,000 public. It provides nutritionally balanced, low‐cost or free lunches to more than 31 million children each school day in 2012 based on the child's household income (USDA). The program is managed by the Food and Nutrition Service at the Federal level and by a State education agency at the state level. We will be looking at the statistics of the National Lunch Program for five local schools, and compare the number of students enrolled in the districts and the percentage that are receiving free or discounted meals at school. Additionally, the requirements to be eligible to participate in the program, as well as the reimbursement the school

The National School Lunch Program is a great resource for schools to use, to help provide children whom may not be able to afford their own lunches. The problem with the program though is that the recent changes to the requirements schools must follow make it difficult to provide lunches that are appealing and fulfilling to students. Schools also find that it is costing them more to try and follow these requirements and there is a lot more waste because students are not happy. The NSLP needs to change some of its requirements so schools can have some freedom in how lunches are prepared so students will be more likely to eat them. They also need to take in consideration that not every student should follow the same calorie count and how not have enough can affect a student, and too much creates waste. With certain changes the NSLP can be successful once again.

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) is one of the largest food and nutrition assistance programs in the United States. (Moore, Gothro, Conway, Kyler, 2014). The NSLP provides nutritionally balanced lunches free or reduced- prices meals to income-eligible children each school day. The program is federally funded but administered through State and individual school districts. Federal government establishes the program rules and guidelines. States monitor funding and compliance of the federal guidelines.

Why would you choose something the students will most likely disagree on when you can keep what you have now. Why would you change the menu to healthier food when they are reason why you should not. It is a bad choice to change the school lunch because the students might not eat the food the type of food you are switching it to.

November 12th, 2015 at 12:13pm at Windham Middle School, students were coming out of the cafeteria like animals loud, pushing, an shoving in the hallway. All the students happened to be sixth graders. Some of the students were dangerously pushing, shoving, and running. Most of the student were extremely loud. Teachers noticed that this has become a problem because it is distracting to some students. This is a really big problem because it distracts students from their work. This is a problem that can be resolved easily by teachers watching and discussing with students on how to behave in the

Marc F. Bernstein’s comment in The Sunday Review portion of The New York Times states that there are “a large number of highly under scheduled high school seniors.” Bernstein implies that the last year of high school for some students is a waste of time. Even though most seniors may be under scheduled by having multiple lunches or only two or three classes, being a senior is more about the classes you take. Most of the students that only have three classes most likely have duel enrolment classes in addition to their high school courses. Not only are they getting credits for college and high school, they are also getting free college classes and books. Even though these students are under scheduled they have an advantage to take college classes and or go to work during the time that they are not at high school. Only having two or three classes in a day could be used as an advantage to many students. I myself, a senior at Pace High School, only have three classes then I can leave. I get out of school at twelve every day. During this time that I am not at school I am taking two duel enrolment classes, working twice a week, finishing homework, and helping

The target users of our database are persons working for a school district cafeteria. These employees create the menus for several local elementary through high school campuses, and need to create menus for those schools based on many various factors. Due to the way public school cafeterias function, employees need to be wary of several obstacles when creating menus such as; cost, allergens, waste reduction, and calorie/nutrient status. We have indexed ingredients, allergens, cost, and calories for various sandwiches that have been approved by the school district. This index helps cafeteria staff search for the perfect sandwich combo based around the specific campus criteria.

I want to start eating healthier this year because i want to be as healthy as can be. I do worry my health and I am now being cautious over what I eat. I do NOT want the risk of any health condition such as diabetes, heart failure, cholesterol, etc. Another reason why I want to start eating healthier is because I have been gaining weight again, now that the soccer season is over. To achieve this goal, I will choose the healthier lunches at school, like a salad. At home I can eat lots of fruit and vegetables. I can also limit the amount the food I eat. I will avoid any junk food and anything with lots of sugar like candy, soda, cookies, etc. The time I eat is also important, which will be no later than 8
