Packed lunch

No doubt, that more children don’t eat healthier because they have no “official” time to eat at lunch. Children need to have time to eat a whole meal within less than 40 minutes. According to the text, article Want Kids to Eat Healthier? Give Them Time, paragraph 1 states “Many kids would likely argue that their lunch periods are too short. While the precious breaks from classwork are used to relax and chat with their friends, students also need to scarf down a full meal to fuel them through the…

Both my parents are Buddhist so they tend to go to a (Vietnamese) temple mostly around Buddhist and Vietnamese holidays which gives me an opportunity to observe a Buddhist temple. I actually visited two temples, one called “Chua Dieu Phap" (located in San Gabriel, California) and one called “Vietnamese Buddhist Zen Meditation” (located in Renton, Washington). I first attended “Chua Dieu Phap”, it’s strictly a Vietnamese temple so everything was in Vietnamese (obviously). Everyone at the temple…

start going into labor. So we get to school and Courtney stayed home because she was “sick”. It gets to around lunch time and people in my school were asking about the baby horse i didn't know what they were talking about. So i looked on facebook and Courtney had posted pictures of the new baby. Shelby and my cousin Kylee were so thrilled they couldn't wait to see the little filly. The lunch lady at the time had been a parent of one of the girls in are 4-H so she took Shelby and Kylee to go see…

The older we get, the higher the percentage was raised of fast food being distributed to our schools lunch program. This means that most high schools in California are being fed lunches that were bought from fast food places and have a high amount of calories causing more of the students to eat unhealthy meals and possibly causing obesity in young adults…

Prison is the same as school Prison is a place you go to serve a sentence, School is where you go to learn. If this is true why are they so alike? They separate us at lunch like prisoners at yard time, Put us in classes like prison cells, and surround us with gates and security guards like animals. You are put in there to serve your sentence assigned to you in a court of law. First your name is given, assigned uniform, and given a cell plus a cell mate. In school you give your name and get and…

Lynna Hong Amy Dickinson English 99 13 September 2016 Go Get It. Period. “[They say] if you want something go get it. Period.” Growing up I was quite the introvert. I was a shy girl who didn’t have many friends and I didn’t go out of my way to make any either. In fact, I actually found myself to be really sad and lonely. I always assumed it was always going to stay like that and there was nothing I could possibly do to change it. I had this mindset that I was just suppose to stick through it…

students work hard. However it is hard for them to do their best on an empty stomach. An Indian Land student’s tray at lunch typically features one fruit, one vegetable, a large portion of French fries, and a reasonable amount of the main food item of the day. Students find themselves starving as soon as they get home from school because they are not getting enough nutrients at lunch to keep them going. Students are able to grab more food but must pay extra for this. Restaurants provide healthy…

over half of all infants in the US has participated in WIC. This program is only meant for low-income women who have children that are up to the age of five. Another program is the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act which gives schools six cents per lunch reimbursement. If schools choose not to participate in Healthy Hunger-Free KIds Act they could choose to join the Special Milk Program (SMP). SMP provides 1% or lower milk to children in schools and that…

serve students at lunch? Well many schools serve ordinary lunches such as sandwiches, salads, pizzas, a milk or juice and a fruit. But have you ever wondered if schools served fast food instead, like a hamburger with fries and a soda and not your ordinary pizza with milk with a fruit. Most students today in school recieve served ordinary lunches they don’t eat or they want because of how it tastes and they end up throwing it away. Most of the students end up throwing their lunch or food…

Dear, Dr. Westfall I have been participating as a student in Keller Middle School, and I have noticed a problem. The unhealthy food in school has been an ignored situation that needs to be recognized. In this letter I am going to be explaining to you why we should add more healthy options in the school lunchroom. There needs to be a change in the choices we eat at school. As said in Nation Center for Biotechnology, children with in-school availability of junk foods consume less milk,…
