The question I wanted the answer to was if food was “racist”, with that in mind I did research to see if there were any studies done to see if some races preferred certain food over others. Foods that are easy to get to such as fast food or pre-made meals are popular choice for people especially for those who are college aged. There is a general low intake of healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables and most people, male and female, aren’t meeting the recommend diet and exercise patterns. Studies…
During the week, I enjoyed some meals especially ones that contained fruits and vegetables which made it tasty and delicious. Lunch and Breakfast were usually eating by myself but during dinner my family came and we had the opportunity to eat together. One of my favorite meals of the week was spaghetti in red sauce with artichokes. I love spaghetti and there is a different variety of ingredients that can be added however adding artichokes made it delicious and original. Throughout the week, I tried…
able to relax with their friends over their meal, giving them an energy boost to carry on with the rest of the school day. But have students actually take the time to examine what they are eating? Today in American society, there are many students who are or becoming overweight due to the food that is provided for students at school.

Meal Plans The idea that our team believes would be beneficiary to the university is investing in a meal plan that is affordable for students and accessible to more restaurants surrounding campus. In the past few years, the meal plans offered at ODU were costly along with unappealing. When a student chooses to live on-campus they are required to purchase a meal plan. That is, the students who choose to reside in an on-campus dormitory, and not on-campus apartments. The food options that are offered…
Growing up in an environment that mostly eats meals at home, I was hardly introduced to restaurants. As a result, of mostly eating meals at home, restaurants never really satisfied my taste buds, due to the fact that my mom’s home cooked meals are twice as delicious. Moreover, it was later on in life when I started eating at restaurants, in which have given me a lot of wonderful memories I will never forget. Despite, not eating out a lot when I was younger it has become part of my life style ever…

Eating unhealthy food can cause obesity, diabetes, and heart disease(Annigan 2015).“Some of the main effects of not eating healthy are being obese, feeling tired all the time, having weak bones and/or…
Schools: Provide Healthy Food Awareness Program and Fine Quality Meals Growing up in a small town of New Jersey, for the preliminary academic years my parents had no alternative but to place my siblings and me in the weakly funded public school system. From what I could recall the school system when it came from a financial standpoint relied more upon the contributions made by its residents than the State Government. As a result of this the school system had no other choice but to provide meals…
Autumn Whitefield-Madrano Remembers “Not wanting to participate in any games at the school fair except the cake walk; wanting those cakes so badly that I moved faster than I ever had in my life to repeatedly get the last seat, thus winning five cakes; understanding the implicit humiliation of being the fat kid who wanted five cakes but wanting those cakes more than I wanted my pride; doing my best to be gracious when my parents insisted we give away three of them. Pretending to twist my ankle at…
size it’s probably around 6 to 7 dollars and super small. The history and status of this problem is, it much easier to have access to unhealthy foods than it is to have access to healthy foods. There are so many info ads that you see about healthy meals that you can buy to lose weight but if you look at the cost it’s expensive. It’s hard to be healthy and eat healthy when everything is so expensive. For an example look at the celebrities or athletes, most of them are in great shape and healthy, why…
