Would restricting the foods served in cafeterias benefit our students? “The great majority of US secondary schools sell items a la carte in the cafeteria and through vending machines ....commonly referred to as junk food’’ (Pediatrics). Because of evidence that children and teenagers have become more and more obese over the years and that they are not receiving the proper nutrients, certain countries and/or states (provinces) have considered placing restrictions on the foods served at their…
A high school teacher, a professional educator at the high school level, is a career that I wish to pursue because they help students, they are involved in the community, and they learn new thing every day. I have been interested in being a high school teacher since we started this essay, but I haven 't ever thought about what I wanted to do until yesterday when we had to choose one occupation. A high school teacher just sounded fun and rewarding, and I could coach baseball which I love to play.…
I was driving to Oklahoma City Community College one afternoon with a good friend of mine. We had gotten out of school early and stopped at Mazzio’s to eat lunch before going to the college. During that drive we were doing what normal teenagers do while driving somewhere: listening to the radio as loud as we could and singing at the top of our lungs. My friend was videoing as we were singing. Later that night after we had returned home I watched the video, and my eyes were opened. In that video…
communicate with moment feels; bringing an image of the “macaroni and cheese” smell and taste like. Grayson purposely said “macaroni and cheese” because he knows that everyone likes it, therefore, they can relate to him; he did not say he likes a cheeseburger to not give people’s intention of assuming he is a zombie, thus he must just eat meat. This shows he is a “smart” zombie and has…
entered this giant empty tan room with 3 large tables and decorations everywhere, it smelled exactly like a Mc Donald’s. We both sat down at the first table and it was filled with just about every Mc Donald’s item imaginable, we ate at least 3 cheeseburgers and then we proceeded to go to the next…
It has only struck me now how important McDonald’s has truly been in my short lived life. In general, fast food restaurant’s are always thought of as the place everybody congregates to when they need to eat something that is quick and inexpensive. But when nearly everybody in this country will go at least once in their life, it gives you the opportunity to see all the types of people in this world, good and bad. I’m fortunate, or unfortunate enough to have gone to one many times in my life, and…
Malnourishment, It Exists If you had one dollar in your pocket where would you go buy food? Many people would respond with a cheeseburger from the dollar menu at McDonalds, or a piece of candy at the closest convenient store. What can you buy that is HEALTHY to eat with one dollar? Most people would not be able to come up with an answer. Everyone knows that world hunger is a problem, but many people don’t know that malnourishment goes along with hunger and it is just as much a problem as hunger…
It was just another day; getting ready for school and trying to finish up homework but today was different. On Tuesday April 20, 1999 Columbine school shooting happen by Dylan Klebold 17 and Eric Harris 18 (west). I was running late like usual trying to gather up all my papers for school. I got to school at 8:10. I walked in and went to my first three classes of the day. Eric and Dylan arrive at different times, in different cars parking close to the exit/ entrance of the cafeteria (West).…
“Hello, may I take your order?”, spoke the lady through the drive through speaker. “Yes, I would like a small Cheeseburger please.” “Would you like a side of cholesterol and a large cup of a sugar induced coma to go with that?” Essentially when ordering food from a branch of the fast food industry, this is what we are ordering.“The rise in the fast food industry has been linked to rising cases of obesity. The CDC estimates that 248,000 Americans die prematurely due to obesity and considers…
Throughout the various levels of social status, there are different goals and ideas that are expected and pursued throughout the education system. Our nation is simply set up into three social classes: the lower, the middle, and the upper. The hierarchy of social rank is often correlated with stereotypes. People who are homeless, lacking in skills or knowledge, and unemployed are perceived to be the lower class. Individuals in the middle class, are made up of well off people with a decent income…
