Mrs. Obama is specifically influential due to her heart and compassion for the fate of children everywhere, and the amount of time she gives to help make others’ lives better. For her country, she has greatly decreased the rates of child obesity through all of her movements, and for the world she has increased the amount of girls who are able to earn a good quality education for themselves. I chose Michelle Obama for this paper because since 2008, I have seen the effects of all the work she has done for our nation. Being in the public school system, I witnessed first-hand the elimination of unhealthy foods from my school’s cafeteria and saw the onset of several new healthier options for myself and my classmates. It has also been drilled into our minds that it is essential that children our age exercise and eat the right foods so we can fight childhood obesity, all thanks to Mrs. Obama.…
Every time a new president takes office the first lady often takes on a project of her own that she believes is a benefit for the country. Mamie Eisenhower took on the Heart fund which raised money for heart disease, and Eleanor Roosevelt invested a lot of time and money into programs like the Salvation Army and the Red Cross. In the Obama Administration, First Lady Michele Obama has under taken the role of decreasing childhood hunger and obesity by making school lunches healthier and free for those who can 't afford them. However, This has been a very controversial social change because many people don 't like to be told what they need to eat in order to be healthy. In an article by Julie Kelly and Jeff Stier critiquing the Healthy, Hunger…
While kids love sugary, processed foods, most adults do not appreciate the amount of junk food children consume. Therefore, many parents were happy to hear that schools banned junk food from being sold anywhere at school. From vending machines, to the cafeteria, to even clubs, no one is allowed to sell junk food in schools. Michelle Obama, the former first lady, decided that she wanted to see more fresh foods playing a role in the lives of kids, instead of the processed foods that are currently overtaking kids’ lives. “Michelle Obama praised the guidelines, which align with the first lady’s ‘Let’s Move’ campaign against childhood obesity,” says the U.S. News website, in the article, “Junk Food Axed From School Vending Machines.”…
With the help of her husband, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama created and passed the Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act. The Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act was put in place by the Obama’s to regulate the amount of salt, sugar, fat in different types of food that the schools on their program feeds the students. Today this is known as the national school lunch program. The national school lunch program supplies the food and regulates what the schools serve the students. The HHFKA was passed and intended to decrease the rate of childhood obesity,which could in the long run lead to adult obesity.…
But the problem is who is willing to give so much money to all schools to improve each one their school lunches? Not only will that be the problem but also each school have different guidelines that they need to follow to feed more than 50.1 million public schools and secondary schools. Lastly are the students willing to eat food that they are not use to consuming? The answer is yes. Research by the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at the University of Connecticut states that "Childhood Obesity" showed children in schools were eating more fruit, and throwing away less of their lunch.…
While the school lunch program is very convenient and helpful for children who need it, but it can definitely be improved. Contemporary Situation Today, the lunches provided at schools are mediocre and unhealthy. Ever since the Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act was passed, schools have made efforts to make the school lunches healthier for the children. Students, however, are not responding well to these healthier lunches. This is causing schools to lose money because students are bringing their lunches from home more and more.…
As you know, The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) has come under critical examinations due to increase in the cost of public schools around the whole country. The National School Lunch Program is promoted by Michelle Obama, who is the first lady of the United States of America. This research will cover areas of this topic like how the National School Lunch Program affects a school’s budget, benefits of the National School Lunch Program, some concerns with the National School Lunch Program, and if the benefits outweigh the cost. There will also be material about my own opinion on this topic.…
My major is nutrition and I decided to focus on school lunches because I think it has been an issue of whether they are good for children or not. The debate if whether school lunches give children all the nutrient needs is everywhere, from the parents to the presidents and the first lady of the United States. This issue applies to all individuals because we need to care about children since they are the future of this world. Children are a very important part and the future of our society’s work force and economy. Children are the ones who are very vital for deciding how the world is going to be after some years.…
Argument Paper II The quality of school lunches has been a debated topic throughout this past decade. While some are advocating for healthier lunch options for students, others would prefer that lunch options stay fairly the same to offer a more diverse selection of foods. The opinion article “Healthy School Lunches Under Attack: Our View” written in 2015 by USA Today is a prime example of those in favor of healthier school lunches, and on the opposing side, “Provide Flexibility in the Lunchroom: Opposing View” written by the president of the School Nutrition Association Jean Ronnei in 2015, is an article discussing the possibility of school lunch mandates going too far. The articles provide interesting points on both sides of the argument, however, after reading both articles…
The Boys and Girls Club has three primary modes of rhetorical strategy which is evident on their national and local levels. The Boys and Girls collaboration with Nestle, Partnership for a Healthier America/Let’s Move, and Triple Play. I consider these as the primary modes of rhetoric because they are the largest, published ways the Club has communicated the reasons behind why children should live a healthy lifestyle. The Boys and Girls Club collaboration with Nestle started in 2015. In the Spring of 2015, Nestle announced a three-year partnership with the national club (“Nestle and …”).…
Federal Government 's Involvement with School Lunches Ever since President Obama was elected into office in 2008, his wife, Michelle Obama has been the forefront of nutrition. One of her main focuses has been the health and wellbeing of children. She has helped to change school lunches around the nation to tend to a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle. Mrs. Obama has also helped pass laws through the federal government that have improved the lives of millions.…
Cafeteria directors respond with this frivolous answer “brand name fast foods are a necessity to keeping their programs running. First lady Michelle Obama is enthusiastically trying to encourage healthy eating in schools as well as at home. Her campaign “Let’s Move” endorses activeness in children around the world. However, 17% of children reported are obese; it looked to drop significantly but increased rapidly yet again.…
Certain kids have different experiences with their school’s lunches, but it’s safe to assume that the majority of children do not enjoy them one bit. At a school in LA, one child says “The healthier it gets the more disgusting it is” which is just another reason why healthy school lunches are not a good idea. Some children at the school can barely describe what “it” is. Kids want to eat what tastes good, not what tastes like garbage, no matter how good it is for them. It’s not just the taste though; it’s the serving size as well.…
As most of us know, Michelle Obama has made a huge impact on the school lunches around the United states. She had the right idea in mind, to help those children whom i mentioned prior, that only get fed fast- food from their parents, to get a more nutritious meal. But her school lunch control regulations have been an utter failure. Students are completely against these limited calorie lunches. Not only are the children upset, but schools are losing millions of dollars due to the uneaten food being served and made.…
