Why Do I Bring My Lunch To School

Improved Essays
Register to read the introduction… I have smelled the things they’re cooking, and they’re toxic, I’ve a hunch.
And the salads are so soggy that you’ll never hear a crunch.
I bring my lunch to school!
I can’t stand the food they serve me!
I can’t stand the food they serve me!
I can’t stand the food they serve me!
I bring my lunch to school!
They torture nose and taste buds with both hamburger and spuds.
There are meatballs in a gravy that’s like iridescent mud.
Mashed potatoes hit both tray and stomach with a sick’ning thud.
I bring my lunch to school!
It’s amazin’ when a raisin starts to crawl across your cake; that was when I first decided the dessert was a mistake.
And I wouldn’t like to guess what’s floating in that chocolate shake.
I bring my lunch to school!

Our Teacher Sings the Beatles
A Poem About Music for Kids
Our teacher sings The Beatles.
She must know every song.
We ask her please to stop but she just sings, "It Won't Be Long."

And then she croons like Elvis.
She clearly thinks it's cool.
And if we beg her not to she just belts out, "Don't be Cruel."

She then does Michael Jackson.
It drives us nearly mad.
We have to cover up our ears because she's singing,

    It is no secret that America is in an obesity epidemic. The majority of public schools are only making this problem worse. The school lunches that are provided to students are unhealthy, lacking in taste and quality, and are extremely underwhelming. This isn’t only a problem with lunches, the food in the vending machines is also very unhealthy. The lunches also do not cater in the slightest to children with food allergies or restrictions such as vegetarian or vegan.…

Yet how can one socialize with their friends, when most of their friends aren’t even in their lunch period?

    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.…

    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 think students should be allowed to eat during class because we have to wake up early to go to school and if you woke up late then you wouldn’t be able to eat, so I would bring it to class. There might be other people who gets hungry before lunch comes and I hate it myself when I get hungry because your stomach starts to hurt. Consuming food gives you energy and helps you focus on what the teacher is presenting in class. I just think a snack should be acceptable not a whole meal but just a snack. I think students don’t eat enough during lunch and they would get hungry before and after lunch.…

    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.…

    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.…
