The Importance Of Object Loathing

Improved Essays
Humans are prone to sin. A simple truth that dates back to the garden of Eden. Since then, humans arrogated a mandate to fortify their societies from sins: lust, greed, envy, pride, wrath, laziness and gluttony. Yet is society today not full of sin? How can one eradicate the terrors to unearth the angelic roots of humanity? 33% of all Americans are obese. It has become impossible to deny that gluttony does not exist in America, and more importantly, in the children. Food is America 's addiction. Everyone harbors and hides addictions; these dependencies can be something to fear, or something to respect. In order to bring back the world to the roots of decency the sins must be chipped away. The only way to better ourselves is to overcome poisonous …show more content…
The students at Cherokee High School need to use the law of the few and start a lunch room student incentive program to promote healthy diets, and need to apply the Stickiness Factor by giving children freedom of choice in their government mandated physical activity. It is not a hidden fact the abject loathing students feel for their daily gym period. Through a transitive property that abject loathing becomes directed on exercise in general. The gym period has become a prerequisite to promote fitness. But how will it evoke a health epidemic when it creates an aura of anxiety and revulsion? Providing students with alternative choices to physical education will promote an innate want to exercise through the Stickiness Factor. It has been proven seven times over that sedentary people wish to stay as they are. In fact, “Sedentary people [pushed] beyond their intrinsic range when they try to exercise too quickly or intensely, [this makes] them hate the activity and want to stop, says Dr. Ekkekakis.” In an abstract application it is blatant that forcing sedentary people, or the 21% of overweight teens, are then psychologically hardwired to hate any calisthenics. However, “Researchers have found several other psychological …show more content…
But how can such a place be salubrious when the food served is...well, not? The atrocities of the lunch room collations are a prevailing cause in the spike of childhood obesity. In response, the government decided to increase nutritional requirements in the lunchroom, to increase the vegetable and fruit servings to two times what it once was. On average the nation is spending an extra $5.4 million on vegetables and fruits every day, of that $3.8 million is jettisoned into the waste. How can the children be influenced to consume these de rigeur foods in wake of the inimical junk? “Cornell 's David Just and Price, conducted a second study to examine the effect small rewards had on fruits and vegetable consumption in the lunchroom....Fruit and vegetable consumption increased by 80 percent while the amount of total food wasted declined by 33 percent.” Heeding these figures, it is deemed that Cherokee High School needs to implement a student incentive program to promote healthy eating. As an incentive to the students for taking advantage of the healthy foods presented in the cafeteria they will be presented with the opportunity to sit at tables with electronic device chargers. For every three days a student purchases a healthy lunch the students can use the charger for one day, a like to a banking system, the student gains credits for healthy eating and in return can

    It has come to my attention that the recent obesity epidemic will soon be addressed during next week’s combined town meeting. Students from Algonquin have demanded policy change regarding the requirements for our school lunches. The food currently being offered to adolescents in the cafeteria, school store, café area, and are filled with sugars and carbohydrates, that likely promote an unhealthy diet and continued obesity. Upon watching the documentary FED UP in Health, a coalition of students will be asking for policy change, citing the movie as their evidence. FED UP argues that the worldwide epidemic of obesity is endangering our children as a result of the increased sugar consumption.…

    The management needs to emphasize on the need of making healthy foods available such as whole grains, proteins from natural sources such as eggs and poultry and fruits to enable the students to make the right choice on the foods that they ought to undertake. Additionally, the management of the institutions needs to contract suppliers of the healthy foods to enable them to supply the institutions at a relatively lower price. Buying the foods cheaper would result in relatively more reasonable costs to the students when they buy the healthy foods. According to research, the preference of many youth and millennial on the fast moving consumer goods and binge foods is based on the relatively low costs and the affordability of the said products (Johnson 21). Therefore, making the healthy foods exclusively available and the relatively low prices would lead to a change in food preferences by the student and facilitate them in making decisions to have the healthy…

    The Chicago Public School system (CPS) is like a second home for many students. Many of the students who attend these schools are usually from low income and middle class families. Unfortunately sometimes the meals that these kids receive at school are the only meals they get during the day. During the 2011-2012 school year the Chicago Public School system fed over 400,000 students more than 900,000 meals. These students have the option to receive breakfast and/or lunch during the school day.…

    Keeping Students on Campus: Students’ Lives Matter Imagine three senior girls piling into a small tan beat up car. It’s just like any other day, the sun is shining and they are all laughing and having a good time. They are just going out to get something to eat during their lunch break at school because their school allows off campus lunches. One out of the three girls buckle, the other two did not even think about buckling. They pull out of the parking lot on their way to Dairy Queen, the music was cranked up to loud and the sun was shining right into the drivers eyes.…

    Students in Chicago Public Schools were not pleased with their free lunchroom food- not that they are being too picky but because the food is outright "disgusting, unhealthy, unappetizing and overly processed. " When these kids' palate cannot take it anymore, they did something revolutionary; they took the issue of school cafeteria food in the internet. Every meal in nearly every CPS lunchroom is made by the district and are given free to every student. With the federally subsidized program's intention of having kids coming from low-income families benefit from free meals, ending mountains of sometimes fraudulent lunch paperwork, moving lunch lines faster, and making it easier for everyone to get a school meal, officials expected to see an…

    Today schools offer school lunches to all students attending public school. Many students can decide whether or not to eat it, but many decide not to eat at all during lunch. They wait until they get home to eat whatever they want. There are many ways to encourage students to eat a good lunch at school. One way that can really help change this issue of students not eating at school is to remove the price of buying lunch at school.…

    A machine cannot run on bad fuel; likewise, people cannot perform at their best on a poor diet. Similar to most lifestyle habits, our eating pattern begins at a young age. Considering that over five billion school meals are served annually, there is a reason for concern on its impact on our future society's health and eating habits. Currently, America's public school lunch program is failing to meet the potential our upcoming generations deserve.…

    Protection of the people’s opinions, something that sounds beneficial for the people but, what if that was changed to the protection of the people’s opinion of the loathing of the people that support our companies. Immigrants, a term Americans all know, the people that work in factories to maintain the company's powers. Is this the right choice for america? Is it fair for the immigrants to be treated with poor working conditions and low wages?Although they sustain our country’s economy, the citizens still treat them like lesser beings. Immigrants, such a vague concept in America but yet we treat it like nothing.…

    The first point is why there is unhealthy food in school lunches. a) The main reason for this is because unhealthy foods are a huge source of revenue to schools. b) The amount of money a school makes from federal reimbursements and fundraising isn’t enough to suffice their financial costs. Therefore they must rely on competitive foods, which are foods that are sold outside of school lunches.…

    When picturing school lunches, many people may think of greasy and oily food that is unappealing and unhealthy. Is this a reality, or just a fiction? There is large controversy over whether this view should be altered or not. About 19,000 schools in the United States currently serve fast food in their cafeteria. Since this food is cheaper to make, many schools may find it a better option than healthier lunches.…

    I enjoyed reading the story from Uh-Oh: Some Observations from Both Sides of the Refrigerator Door by Robert Fulghum since it was an interesting narrative with eloquent language that teaches a valuable and powerful lesson about daily inconveniences. In the story, Fulghum is a hotel front desk clerk who is aggravated after his employer serves him sausage wieners and sauerkraut for lunch 7 days in a row (the horror). As a result he articulates his anger into a lengthy rant to his coworker, a wise old man named Sigmund Wollman. Sigmund thinks that his discontent is ridiculous, and enlightens Fulghum with an important lesson.…

    The term “school lunch,” has had a negative connotation ever since I can remember. There’s much more to school lunch than gourmet salads or mystery meat. All over the United States schools serve lunch to a variety of different students, with different backgrounds, age groups and income. Just in one school the systematic arrangement of the lunch ladies and the policies set in place are just tiny specs of a much larger picture. The fact of the matter is, as children are developing they are being programmed and prepped for the rest of their lives.…

    Childhood Obesity. “The percentage of overweight and obese children in the United States quadrupled during the past 25 years”(Junk Food… Obesity). I do not believe that School Lunch Programs encourage poor nutrition. Yes, most school lunches aren’t desirable and may look like globs of inedible items that is pureed, heated and served with sour milk, nevertheless they are not at fault for atrocious eating habits. Children don’t live at school.…

    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.…
