Packed lunch

School meals have become a bit of cliché with regard to poor nutrition. Countless movies and television shows poke fun at the abundance of unidentifiable foods and lack of nutrition that can show up on cafeteria trays across the nation. While school meals have changed significantly in the past few decades, they still have a long way to go before they can truly be considered nutritious and healthy meals. According to McGuire, our school meals are still too narrow and contain more sodium and fat…

charge of Camp, gave everyone time to get settled in their cabins. I chose the top part of a bunk bed. The bunk beds had a light tan color with a long hollow part on where you could put a sleeping bag in. Right after everyone unpacked, we all ate lunch at a tiny brown picnic table. The cabin had six bunk beds, three toilets, three showers and two…

Most of the high schools in U.S. don’t have an open campus during lunch. However, high schools should have open campus lunches for several reasons. The lunches that the high schools provide are really unhealthy, cafeterias are packed, and having the freedom to go wherever you want during lunch would give the students a nice short break from the school day. Open campus lunches would be a great idea for high schools because it would give the students the freedom to decide themselves what they want…

District. She explains: I got involved completely by accident . . .The principal of our middle school wanted to get soda and junk and chips out of our school cafeteria and needed a parent to help. It really wasn’t an issue for me because I packed [my children’s] lunch, but when I saw what was being served, I felt relieved they never asked me for money to buy it and I felt sorry for the kids who did…

cafeteria food will lead to weight gain why buy it then. The kids are usually at fault because they rather buy the unhealthy foods than healthy ones. Also cafeteria food can in some ways be healthier than packed meals because the food prepared at cafeteria may have a higher nutritive valued than those packed from home for children might pack what they want instead of what is…

The word lunch is an abbreviation of the more formal word “lunchentach,” which was from the 1580’s. Over 100,000 schools and institutions serve school lunches to 30.4 million students each day. Many students bring their own lunches because of the long waiting lines for school lunches and also to save money. Not to mention that a home lunch is healthier and more nutritional than an average school lunch. Though there are disadvantages of packing a home lunch, like packing it every day or if the…

The bell rang for lunch time, the students ushered out, and into the cafeteria like wild animals. I stood there watching students fight for spots in the lunch line. The lunchroom was packed, so I sat at the first random table I found. A few minutes later, this group of students approached me and told me that this table was theirs, and I had to move. I got up and attempted to find a new table, but everywhere else appeared to be completely packed. I ended up finishing my lunch in the counseling…

All I hear is birds singing their usual songs in the morning and being able to feel the cold air surrounding my body. It’s winter and it’s the most outrages winter I’ve experienced in my life. I was strolling to my bus stop and as I begin to slow down I see the school bus was already coming up the hill following behind my tail to make a complete stop. There was about 5 other students with me anxiously waiting the bus to stop and then they all got on the bus one by one. All I could do is think…

You would think that students would leave lunch with full stomachs and empty trays, but that is not the case anymore. The government has now imposed restrictions on school lunches that has made the food served unappetizing to many students. These restrictions require limited calories, fats, sugars and sodium while emphasizing fruits, vegetables, whole grains, dairy and proteins. This causes there to be very limited tasty options for school cafeterias to serve. Because of this it has resulted in…
