Hot Kid Cuisine Meal

Improved Essays
I never imagined that I would find myself covered in the contents of a steaming hot Kid Cuisine meal, nor did I believe I would be in the shower for two hours after a strict bedtime.

    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.…

    Family mealtime plays a key role in the child's development and upbringing at an early stage of their lives, as well as the years when they are no longer living within their parents. Family mealtime has changed drastically over the years and I will be comparing American's family mealtime to an Asian culture's mealtime on how children have different outcomes due to their routine from a health issue, daily routine, ceremonies, to manners. I will also be reviewing the importance on how family mealtime reflects the child's development which will show aspects of ethnic identity, symbolism, cultural relativism, and sentimental on food.

Those single moments, single experiences, have led me to realize how blessed I was to have what I had in life also taught me the preciousness of life.…
