One out of the three girls buckles their seatbelt, the other two did not even think about buckling. They pull out of the parking and start heading to Dairy Queen, the music was cranked up too loud and the sun was shining directly into the drivers eyes.…

Some latchkey kids feel that they are not loved because their parents leave them at home alone. Some children do not understand that the parents have to work in order to provide them with the basic necessities.

The National School Lunch Program provides students with “healthy” and “nutritional” meals to consume during their lunch period, however, how can a meal that needs to be unwrapped and heated be at all good for us? Most of us don’t know what exactly we are taking into our body. Many students including myself sometimes get ill from these meals. If a healthy and nutritional meal gets you sick then there is something wrong. In order for school lunches to improve we must have an alternative and that is going to our local farmers to receive fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats.…
School lunches have the pro’s and con’s about the amount of food they receive or about how much they can have per lunch days. School lunches need to have more improvement on their meat .Also they need to make school lunches more fulfilling and schools need to lower the price of how much you pay just to get a little portion.

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.…
