Lack Of School Lunches

Improved Essays
When we're released from study hall, countless students get scolded for running to lunch. Why is the rush for food so important to us? Even students who pack their lunch have been affected by our long lines. Seemingly endless lunch lines will continue to inch away at our valuable eating time unless we raise money to build another line.

Without another lunch line, students will not have enough time to eat. This spawns numerous other issues. First of all, it wastes food. Without time to finish it, many end up disposing of their excess food. It's unreasonable for this to happen, considering many children our age have a lack of food initially. Those who do finish their food may be rushed to eat quickly. As scientifically proven, this causes us to take in too many calories before our brains can send signals of fullness. Lastly, while we do have the opportunity to stay late, many students opt out for recess time. While this is in our control, it's a decision that we make simply because recess is normally our only unorganized physical activity throughout the school day. For kids, it seems impossible to abandon.

Predominantly, we must present the problem to authority figures who can fix it. Obviously, another lunch line can't be incorporated unless they know about the issue. This would include our principal and vice principal. Next, we must collaborate to plan out its location and functionality. Finally, once we have decided to build it, we must raise money for the new lunch line. While estimations of the cost must be made first, I believe that with everyone's help, we can end the "endless" lunch

    In School Revisits High School Open Lunch Policy for 2013, Catherine Martin also mentioned that by students having this opportunity they will be better prepared for later life. With students having a very limited time to get their food and return to the school they will have to take many factors into consideration. The students will first have to think about how long it will take them to get out of the parking lot, since it will be relatively slow with everyone trying to leave at once. Next they will have to find out how long it will take to reach the desired restaurant or convenience store, and once they are there, how long it will take the restaurant to prepare and serve the food. Their last step would be to figure out how long it would take to eat the food and return to school.…

Now in middle school, they have to rush to the lunchroom and engulf their food in 25 minutes to get back to class on time.

    The cause of failure in the National School Lunch Program has been a highly contentious topic since modern reporting of nutritional standards have been implemented. Most research points to the lack of student opportunity to access of healthy food as the main cause of failure, however, who is at fault for this is much more debatable. Some, including Julian, cited inconsistency in regulation and oversight as the biggest challenge. He noted that a lot of poor menu options for students in middle and high schools come from the school run and regulated “a la carte” vending. He explained that this practice is not regulated in any way and considers it “a bizarre freedom that leads to the composition of disturbing menus; in school cafeterias across…

    First of all, eating unhealthy food, like sandwich, pizza and burger, will cost less time for kids to finish it. Secondly, less lunch time may cause kids to increase their stress during eating, which could also be a reason for the correlation. Because study has demonstrated that sugar and fat, which is rich in soft drink and fast food, could help people to clam down, eating unhealthier food may help kids lower the level of their anxiety. Thirdly, shorter length of lunch period may cause more students to be in the cafeteria in the same time, and it will take more time to get both fruits and entrees. If the lunch period is limited, they may not have enough time to get…

    From what I have experienced in my community of Warren County, the breakfast and lunch provided by the schools are inadequate. These meals are often undersized, ill-prepared, or are non-existent. Though all Warren County schools students do receive free lunch, people still choose to pay for the prepackaged goods sold by the school to substitute the lunch offered. In the mornings, the breakfasts that I have seen have been continuously dismal. They are often small, sugary items such as Pop Tarts or cereal.…

    These students will stand in the lunch lines to get this revolting lunch that was introduced to wheat half bread and 0% milk and 95% water or some other weird thought to be healthy concoction said to be food. Though they get it doesn 't mean they eat it guys. I personally have gotten lunches that seemed to be a common everyday lunch and it was burnt and disgusting as the noodles were changed to accommodate the new restrictions on healthy in schools I throw it away as fast as I could. That 's not all some kids will do. Some go to the snack line, and wait just to get something that tastes like food not paper.…
