Healthier School Lunches
A healthier school lunch plan; would this be more beneficial for the students oppose to a better tasting, less nutritious lunch? I'm against a newer more healthier lunch plan due to the reason that we students really don't need it nor want it. In this essay I will state and explain my position on this topic of disagreement. First, the school lunch plan we have now still has nutritional value in it. It just doesn't offer as much nutrition in it compared to the new school lunch menu. For the students that actually need a more nutritious diet we can a establish a special lunch plan for them; but by establishing a completely healthy lunch plan for all the students isn't necessary. Next, the students like the lunches the school offers

    National School Lunch Case Study

    Due to the fact that price exceeds quantity, students are refusing to eat. The National School Lunch Program claims to “provide nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to more than 31 million children each school day,” (National School Lunch Program 1) but do they mean it? Often times the factor of nutrition is questionable in the food provided in school lunches. An example being one day a student who does not possess the benefit of the National School Lunch Program’s free lunch decides to eat the so-called “nutritionally balanced food” (National School Lunch…

    National School Lunch Program Research Paper

    Recently there has been revisions to the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and schools were required to overhaul their entire menus to provide the students with healthy and nutritious foods including fruits and vegetables. The new school lunch rules are part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 which has been implemented this fall. (Post Standard) The Hunger Act allows the USDA the opportunity to make reforms to the school lunch and breakfast programs. With these revisions come strict guidelines from the federal government that each school district must follow in order to receive funding and reimbursement (National School Lunch Program, 2012, August p. 1). In this essay i will be comparing the positive and negative effects of these recent revisions to the NSLP. I will then discuss whether or not these changes are beneficial to the children receiving the meal and whether NSLP is leaving children hungry or helping children make healthy food choices.…

    Explain Why We Should Have A Healthier Lunch Menu

    I agree that me, and everybody else that attend this school. Should have a healthier lunch menu. Some individuals are going to have a problem with that. Because we're going to have to get rid of some of our favorite foods. But I think if we all get together and have a school meeting. And talk about how it's going to help and benefit us. Then the people that disagree. Might have a better understanding, and agree on a healthier lunch menu. The main reason why I want to change to a new, healthier school menu. Is because if we have food that is not good for us, and we keep on eating and eating. Most people are going to gain to much weight. Then eventually become obese. Another reason is if we have healthier food. People like me that have…

    ." The long list of options includes high-fat, low grade meats and cheeses and processed foods like chicken nuggets and pizza."( Walters & Heron). Does that sound good too you? Would you put that in body? If not why put it in ours?. For a fact about 55% peers agreed that’s not want we want our body's. We want food that is actually cooked and made with healthier products instead of just putting it the oven to just reheat. If liberty high school did change the way the lunch meals are made many more kids would actually buy lunch instead of ditching.Which means you would make profit and less weekends being at school for dention and more time for you.…

    Explain Why Students Should Be Given Better School Lunches

    When in the course of life events, students should be served better lunches at school. They sit for and pay attention for almost 8 hours and we’re not even served healthy or good looking food. Usually school lunches look disgusting and makes students not want to eat it. Most students who don’t eat the lunch go the rest of the school day with an empty stomach roaring all the time which causes students to be unfocused. This is why us students should be given better school lunch so we are more concentrated in school and not about how hungry we are.…

    One reason that the school boards should improve our school lunches is because kids get to choose want they want for school. According Mary L. Gavin, MD can choose to eat the green beans or throw them out. A kid also can choose to eat an apple instead of an ice cream sandwich. Another reason is Because they serve junk food everyday. According to Richard J. Codey junk food should be banned at schools because it leads to obesity. It also can affect their future for them. My last reason they should change our school lunch is that during lunch a kid eats half of their calories during lunch in school, because they…

    Better School Lunches Research Paper

    Having better school lunches would improve the eating habits of children. I believe that if schools were informed about the consequences of bad eating habits to the children they would do something to improve the food being served. Children nowadays tend to just eat junk food and call it a “meal.” The school lunches are not exactly a great healthy meal, food that is served is full of sodium and high on saturated fats and is usually low in fiber and lacks all the nutrients that can be found in fruits, vegetables and whole grains. There are other schools that have healthy food options for everyone; without all the unhealthy fats and all of the unnecessary grease on the food.…

    The scent of walking in the cafeteria and smelling the delicious aromas of what will be served in lunch. HAHA NO instead you walk in and hardly smell anything and you have no other option but to eat the horrifying food that was heated up; and not served, but displayed for you to reach and grab. We all know that disappointing part when you have waited in what seemed an endless wait in the lunch line just to eat… OH GREAT!... It just happens to be the same thing you ate yesterday.…

    It is a YouTube sensation. A video made by high school teens titled We Are Hungry is an exaggerated but necessary cry for a change. In the tune of hit song We Are Young the video depicts teens falling asleep during class and slumping to the floor during sports practices. As silly as the video gets at times it boils down to one thing. There needs to be a change. School lunches need to have more calories and bigger portions to support the growing bodies of the children and teens eating them.…

    Healthy Lunches In Public Schools

    School lunches lack healthy nutrients that growing children and teens need. Because, schools lack the proper funding needed to support students with healthy lunches, students have a horrible diet. A lot of people, including myself, believe that if healthy school lunches were provided students at home would make better choices when it came to what snacks they ate between meals. If schools got better funding for healthier lunches it could theoretically save the government more money because the students in turn would have less health problems.…
