School Lunches

My project is going to be about school lunches. There are many things that you don't known about school lunches like in the first paragraph I am going to use a Sirs Discoverer and, in the second paragraph Sirs Knowledge Source and, in the third one I am going to use the New York Times Newspaper.

To begin, what the school menu says like an oven baked pizza bagel with tricolor salad, but it is really a slice of pizza and a wisp of lettuce. There are many problems like ….they serve too little food and they have come up with solution like they write a song about how their stomach are growling after lunch and how they were falling to the ground because they got too little food. Another problem is that kids are getting obese and now they have a solution that they fixed it by having food the food has to have 1% of milk and has to have more whole grain and fewer calories. Did you know the chicken nuggets are half chicken and half filter. This is all the information that I got from my first website.

Another problem is that the kids don't like the food in the cafeteria and they don't want to bring their own,so on the way to school they stop and junk food teachers donated time, food and money to get more food and better food for the school. Another problem that ties into the first one is that their are not many snacks and so, the staff donated in first $600 and now is $1000 for the store that they put in the school for the students and maybe them. That are all the problems that I got from that

    The food that teens and children are served every day is bought from a factory and shipped to the school. What goes on in that factory is a mystery to most. How the food is made and breaded is a good question but all the cafeteria workers know is that it is easy to put in the oven. More information should be provided on where the food that students eat at school comes from. Another problem for teens and kids is the time crunch.…

    It has come to my attention that the recent obesity epidemic will soon be addressed during next week’s combined town meeting. Students from Algonquin have demanded policy change regarding the requirements for our school lunches. The food currently being offered to adolescents in the cafeteria, school store, café area, and are filled with sugars and carbohydrates, that likely promote an unhealthy diet and continued obesity. Upon watching the documentary FED UP in Health, a coalition of students will be asking for policy change, citing the movie as their evidence. FED UP argues that the worldwide epidemic of obesity is endangering our children as a result of the increased sugar consumption.…

    When a student buys around three to four items, the lunch already costs over $10. After the week, if $10 are spent every day, the end price is around $50.

    Many times, half the menu is already consumed by other people, if you could not get in line early enough. The school runs out of food, still charging full price for what is left to serve: one side item and a milk. The food served is also disgusting, processed, and chemical-filled, even my dog would refuse to eat; not to mention the ground beef served here was once green. The school ends up shoving these appalling substances down our throats, leaving us no other options for food. Even some teachers are on my side saying the food served to us is nothing but a mockery.…

    Around sixty-seven percent of the people across the country believe schools should offer only nutritious drinks, such as white milk, water, and natural fruit juice, to students. I strongly agree that adding nutritious beverages to school lunches is a logical and reasonable idea. To begin with, when products are locally sourced, the local economy around the school will also receive a boost. Also, when a parent of a school student sends their child, or children, to school, they should not have the need to worry about the things that their kid may drink.…

    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.…

    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.…

    While this is important, the learning needs to start at school. Students spend a large majority of their day in school, with that, having healthy meals during this time is imperative to the children’s learning process. In addition, not every family is capable to provide their children with a bagged lunch every day. Therefore, the student could be getting their main source of food through the free and reduced lunches. Even with a healthy home, young kids need a guiding hand at school to help them to continue to make healthy choices during the school day.…

    While my brother feels like healthy eating is being shoved down his throat and sometimes resorts to bringing food from home to school. As of last year, one million students stopped buying school lunch and this number of students seems to be increasing. As food costs and labor costs rise, the schools are losing money on the cafeteria programs, and consequently have to dip into the general fund, the fund that supports classrooms. As the standards for school lunches increase, so do the costs and consequently the classroom budget. By dipping into funds for classrooms, schools are forced to put more emphasis on nutrition than in academic resources.…
