INTRODUCTION

Rationale of the Study The function of the feeding program is to give nutritious foods for less fortunate children who are malnourished in a certain area and also to impart knowledge to parents and also for children of what to eat in order to have a healthy body and to be away from any diseases. This requires a lot of preparation in order to deliver education effectively and appropriately in a simple and understandable ways. Because of this, it can help putting the children’s health status to normal. Malnourish is a dangerous condition where it can lead to numbers of illnesses due to low resistance and weak body.

    Under the presidency of S.A.D.D (Students Against Destructive Decisions) in my high school, I've conducted and lead many projects to help many organizations and even planned and coordinated many community service projects. But, out of the many project that the club and I have planned and created, I would have to state that I've projected my leadership role the most while our club and I went to Feeding South Florida for a field trip that I've planned. The reason why I state this is because, Feeding South Florida was a common place that many people knew, especially our members, and so before we got to the warehouse, I've explained the purpose Feeding South Florida stands for and the job that we would have to do there. When we got to the warehouse and began working, I would help the members and other volunteers carry boxes that were a bit heavy for them to carry and to help them understand how to sort the items that were donated to the warehouse into categorized boxes that they had provided to us. The purpose on why I led this project is because of the purpose behind Feeding South Florida, which is to collect, pack and send foods to the many shelters and food kitchens that they have provided in South Florida and working on this project created a positive effect on my life. The reason why I state this is because, while volunteering, it made me feel as if I was privileged.…

    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.…

    Thus, in an attempt to save America's future, congress securitized and developed a permanent lunchtime program that insured that all American children would grow-up nourished. Thus, the aforementioned Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act was formed. While it seems that a more than hefty portion of this essay was dedicated to the history of the aforementioned policy (<1000), I suggest that the history of US School lunch programs leads us to a very logical framework in which to compare lunch program policies…

    “When children don’t get enough to eat, their health, their brain development-their very futures- are imperiled” (Lubrano). Hunger is a very serious obstacle to learning in children. Hunger makes it difficult for the children to concentrate. They often are concentrating more on going to lunch and being able to eat, than what is going on in the classroom. Test scores have also been shown to decrease in hungry children. Many of these students who are hungry tend to show behavioral problems and are often rowdy or disruptive. Hunger is also leading these children to miss class time because they need to go to the nurse for their stomach aches (Felling). These adverse effects have long term consequences as well. “Hunger affects long-term health, academic achievement, and economic prosperity – leading to a less competitive American workforce and higher national health care costs” (Felling). These adverse effects of hunger are greatly affecting the future of…

Malnutrition can happen when someone’s diet does not contain the right amount of nutrients and can either cause undernutrition which may lead to famine, bulimia or anorexia nervosa and can restrict someone from growth and from recovering from a disease or it can lead to the opposite, overnutrition, which may follow to obesity or being overweight which can then lead to chronic heart diseases and diabetes. Both, undernutrition and overnutrition, are very life threatening conditions and should always try to be prevented.…
