    The determination of children’s health outcomes and their precursors such as healthy eating, is a difficult process in which individuals must consider various academic resources to develop an appropriate perspective. However, it is in determining the value of these resources, regarding their impact on our understanding of early childhood health, where the problem lies. This review will critically assess the articles; ‘Food consumption patterns in preschool children,’ (Pabayo, Spence, Casey & Storey, 2012) and ‘Advertising and fictional media effects on healthy eating choices in early and later childhood,’ (Ferguson, Contreras & Kilburn, 2014) as well as the report, ‘Munch & Move: Evidence and Evaluation Summary,’ (Lockeridge, Innes-Hughes,…

    Household and school dietary choices will improve the performance of students at the charter school. Creating healthy dietary habits in children through the school system is a salient objective in our country; seeing over 1 in 6 children in America are considered obese according to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services data collected in 2010. This shockingly high number displays that obesity is not simply a condition that only adults live with. Malnutrition deprives a child of their daily nutritional needs; however, this does not mean that the child does not over eat. Eating over processed foods can create an excess amount of calorie intake without the needed nutrition of the child.…

    As a result, if the National School Lunch and Breakfast Program were modified to include lower calorie options, such as by implementing lower calorie sweeteners instead of regular sugar and more fruit and vegetables, it would impact a wide variety of students with differences in socioeconomic status and ethnicity. Since the National School Lunch Program was historically established for the purpose of battling hunger in the under fed the impact on children and adolescents of essentially revising the purpose of the program must be considered. One possible concern with modifying the National School Lunch Program to address the issues of obesity is that there could be a rise seen in the percentage of underweight children as a result. One proposed method to prevent this incidence was to encourage underweight children to enroll in the school breakfast program.…

    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.

    Many schoolchildren throw away their half-eaten cafeteria lunches so that they can run outside to play. Recess is often held after lunch so children hurry to finish so that they can go play. This results in wasted fruits, vegetables, entrees, milk, and students not meeting their nutritional needs. However, it has been found that if recess is held before lunch, students come to lunch with healthy appetites and less urgency and are more likely to eat their fruits, vegetables, entree, and milk. Poor nutritional intake is linked to children’s difficulty to learn, and increased discipline problems.4…
