Lunch

hated the most, It was standing up and giving the “I’m blah, and I’m in blah grade” The one thing I dreaded was lunch. I had not made a single friend and I had read enough books to know what being the kid who-sits-alone-at-lunch was like. The dreaded lunch bell rang and I trudged up the stairs to the cafeteria. I sat down, alone, at the table in the corner and began to eat my lunch. It was the most mortifying 20 minutes of my life. I hated this school and I hated Hong Kong more. I missed…

not able to afford the fruits and vegetables needed to maintain a healthy diet. “obesity is a symptom of poverty. It 's not a lifestyle choice where people are just eating and not exercising. It 's because kids - and this is the problem with school lunch right now - are getting sugar, fat, empty calories - lots of calories - but no nutrition.” (Colicchio) These reasons help to possibly explain why there are 72 million obese people in the United States while only 9.5 million are considered…

you want out of a super fun lunch period with your friends, but you don 't know how to get out if it, you could always get a referral. But how would one get a referral? Referrals aren 't the hardest thing to get, their pretty simple if you 're willing to break the rules. Three simple steps that always get me referrals are being tardy, using my phone, and mouthing off to Mr. Burke. If you do any of these three or all three at once you will surely find yourself in lunch detention. Being tardy on a…

It is not a necessity to have sugerfull snacks during lunch in the slightest. Millions of children and teenagers suffer from obesity and eating healthy food would unequivocally help. Also these students in the passages crash from all the ridiculous unhealthy sugar they take in. They say they need it to be happy, but there is no way that happiness depends on the flavor of snacks eaten. It is definitely much more momentous to have a healthy and alert life. Schooling is one of the most important…

child does not have to say anything at all. The mother of the young boy from the poem realizes something is wrong so, the next day she packs a lunch similar to the lunches of the other children. The young boy is so happy to have a sandwich, chips, and fruit for lunch; therefore, he does not feel like he is so different anymore. Eating the same kind of lunch helps the little boy feel confident. Food is a very big part of any culture and society. All around the world, people are learning what…

Child hunger is a growing problem all over the world, but right here in the United States it is probably a bigger problem than you might think. “According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) 15.3 million children under eighteen in the United States live in households where they are unable to consistently access enough nutritious food necessary for a healthy life” (“Child Hunger”). These children are in every community and could be sitting beside your child in their classrooms.…

healthy, did they go about it in the right way? Well if you asked the staff present at the school they may argue that the school lunches are in fact healthy, but you don 't see them often going in to get there own lunches. Most bring a cold lunch to work with them. Even though the lunches are as available to them as they are to the students. Why don 't they get hot lunches? Is it because they rather bring there own from home, or is it just because the healthier they…

I start off almost every lunch the same way. I anxiously await for block 3B to come so I can leave class, and go down to the lunchroom. Once the clock strikes 12:05, my friends and I throw our books in our schoolbags, grab our lunch bags, and run down to the cafeteria. The three floors down never feel longer than when I am running to lunch. As we run down the stairs, I am most curious about what soup Brock will serve today. Brock is Nazareth Academy’s food service. Every day they act as mothers…

One of the bullies said “Pshhhh...No” Carmen questioned “Ok so what are you going to do then huh?” Another bully yelled “WE WILL STEAL YOUR LUNCH MONEY SO YOU CAN’T EAT LUNCH AHAHA!” Carmen said “Oh no you’re not!” The bullies grabbed him and took him outside of school in an alley. Then the kids started punching him. Then the kids steel Carmen’s lunch money! They run all around the whole neighborhood! The kids are too fast…
