30 Minute Meals

Hello families, Amazingly, we are about to start the third week of school. I am really happy to say that the class is getting use to the routines and adjusting great! I am already so proud of them. Since the class is progressing so well, I think it is a great time to introduce the new class pets on Monday. Their names are Sweet-Pig and Piglet; two female guinea pigs. Last year I wrote a grant to fund purchasing most of the items needed. Ongoing supplies are needed for the care of the guinea pigs…

Expect the Unexpected Michael Pollan has been writing books for the past twenty-five years, informing society about his belief in respect to what is considered food and what is not considered food. He believes that nature and culture affect our daily food intake and how we build our eating tendencies. In fact, one of his famous books called, “In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manisfesto” can help the reader fully understand his theory. Pollan’s goal or reason behind writing this book is “to help…

is considering a change in the schedules that we have. They are considering if there should be seven class periods and a longer lunch, but we would take one elective away. If there’s not a change, then we would keep the eight periods and the thirty-minute lunch. My argument is that we should have seven class periods and about an hour long lunch. I believe we should make this change since the extra hour of lunch could benefit the ones who do not eat at lunch. If we do make this change they could…

Summer is a time where we all want our bodies to look their best! As college students don’t always have it easy when it comes to eating the right food. We turn towards food options that are quick to eat so we can continue with our hectic schedules. Now that we are home for the summer, why not refresh our bodies from all that college food and spend some extra time in the morning making something that is quick, healthy, and most importantly delicious! Avocado Toast Such a basic breakfast but…

small part of this activity felt wrong. Nevertheless, for the sake of the adventure, I wanted the experience to feel as real as possible. It took me 40 minutes to grab the groceries on my list and check out. Unfortunately, I did not think to call Uber while I was shopping, so the wait begin again. Luckily, this time the driver arrived within 10 minutes. I browsed the Redbox machine, as I…

My best memory with food is when I used to go over to my grandma and grandpa’s house after every day of school. I would always get my mom to make me a turkey sandwich with mayonnaise, mustard, and cheddar cheese on sweet honey wheat bread. The bread always had a fluffiness to it and it was always soft with a golden brown color. My grandma always had mass amounts of the ingredients that were always better than the ones bought at the grocery store. She always told me that meat and bread freshly…

Better School Lunches School Lunches have gotten worst tasting but better in health. I feel like more students are just throwing lunches away instead of eating them or bringing their own lunch. So why do we make the healthy school lunches if the students don’t eat them? I feel like students should have better school lunches. When Michelle Obama passed the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act in 2012 it started making school lunches healthier and students grumpier. When adult think of their school…

Civil disobedience can be a powerful tool to prove an argument that an individual strongly and respectfully agrees with, although, only when it is done at the right time and place. The most appropriate time to be civilly disobedient is when a person strongly believes in something, yet, violence is not utilized. One example of this peaceful protest was…

At Turlock High School, teenagers are at risk everyday, because of what the food they eat is doing to them. Most teens try to eat healthy, but fail to do so. Most of the teens at THS eat school lunch here, and wish they didn’t. This leaves them to buy fast food, or bring it from home. Even though many try to eat healthy, it’s not enough. There is only one solution to this problem. The school lunch should be replaced, and exchanged with fresh food, cooked from scratch. At Turlock High, teens’…
