Lunch

As an ethnographer today’s task will be to observe a diversity of students at the California State University Long Beach. I have gathered my computer as well as a lunch to company me while I observe my surrounding and how students’ interaction and behave at the university. I chose to have a seat outside the student union on a round table by the door where Wells Fargo bank, and Sbarro pizza is located. My surroundings have many round tables where students can seat as well as couches to enjoy a…

These students leave lunch everyday, on an empty stomach. Without the calories of lunch these students become food deprived. As a result, their grades drop and so does their health. Everybody needs food calories everyday and depriving students of vital calories and nutrients poses many issues. Calorie deficiency…

As a result, if the National School Lunch and Breakfast Program were modified to include lower calorie options, such as by implementing lower calorie sweeteners instead of regular sugar and more fruit and vegetables, it would impact a wide variety of students with differences in socioeconomic status and ethnicity. Since the National School Lunch Program was historically established for the purpose of battling hunger in the under fed the impact on children and adolescents of essentially revising…

The HHFKA is putting strict regulations on school lunches. Children are starting not to eat lunch at school because children do not like the change that is taking place. Coming from my own experience with school lunches, changing weird and unusual foods that were not normally served in a school lunchroom is tough on the children. I was the child that refused to eat what was being served that day at lunch. Since children are not eating the new and unusual healthy foods being served, the children…

student’s desk caught my eye, there wasn’t any type of lunch, not a sandwich nor a piece of bread, nothing. The student was Walter Cunningham. My doubts had to be answered “did you forget your lunch this morning?” I said. Since I didn't get an answer I asked one more time, this time Walter answered with a yes. Letting one of my students without a proper meal during school time was not an option so I offered Walter a quarter so he could buy some lunch today and also the alternative to pay me…

safety or health. There is one thing that I think should be changed because I have seen it happen often during lunch time. Each participant has a card with their name and any dietary restrictions on it so the staff could know what and what not to prepare for them. One day I was assisting with the distribution of lunches and they were having pork B-B-Q sandwiches, when I gave one lady her lunch she asked me if it was pork or chicken and I let her know that it was pork, she had then told me that…

stupid jokes that don't make sense and/or on their phones listening to music that should be for their ears only. From my point of view Restaurants and other business should have the right to ban teenagers, not permanently of course, however, during lunch time when the target audience (Adults)…

following the child nutrition law passed by congress in 2010, to improves and transforms school’s foods. Not only they banned unhealthy food, they also provide students alternative healthy foods like organics or need to be cook foods. In the article “No Lunch Left Behind”by Alice Waters and Katrina Heron says,“ But most people don’t realize that very little of this money even goes toward food. Schools have to use it to pay for everything from custodial services to heating in the cafeteria”. Food…

On October 16th, I made my way to a cultural event. The event was called “Home, Memory, and Future”, when I heard the name of it I believed it was based on the beliefs of people in other words their religions or their culture. As I read the introduction I realized it was about Harlem, which is located only a couple stops from home. Then I wondered what kind of cultural events have happened in Harlem, instantly I thought of the word diversity. In New York, there are many people that come from…

It was 5:30 pm and it was time for dinner, but I wasn’t hungry. After all the cafeteria fried food, my stomach hurt so bad bad that I had no appetite. I think that Southern Middle School should not serve lunch to the students. The kids should have to pack their own lunch from home. I think this because it teaches kids responsibility, it saves families money, and it is better for the kids health. It is time to close Southern Middle School’s cafeteria and start packing lunches. Packing…
