The food that is served at Beaver Falls Middle School should be replaced with better options. Beaver Falls Middle School’s food is, in fact, inedible. If the food is inedible, then what’s the point in even making the food? Food at a school should be checked to see if it is fully cooked and has a clean appearance.The students should be able to eat the food without having the need to gag or refuse to eat it at all.
The food is usually leftover from previous meals. Students usually get cold food that isn't cooked. Not only is the food cold, but it’s processed as well. Schools teach us to be healthy, but processed food isn't healthy at all. Think about it...do you really want the students at school eating unhealthy and cold food. Leftover processed

    “More than 76 percent of schools sell soft drinks and sweetened fruit drinks, but fewer than half offered bottles water. Fewer than 15 percent sell low-fat or nonfat yogurt, and fewer than one third order skim milk. Only 25 percent of schools say they've reduced fats and oils in recipes.”(Spake, 2). Choices at lunch range from greasy to unidentifiable. Most students eat school lunches five days a week. So most of the food they eat throughout the week comes from the school cafeteria. Although, the schools do tend to offer healthy choices such as salads, subs, skim milk, and unlimited fruits and vegetables. “Each week Phoenix students are served a variety of fruits and vegetables from guava to grapes and jicima to red peppers. School officials hope that by exposing children to fruits and vegetable they may develop a taste for them and request their parents to buy them.”(Bailey, 1). Real meat is becoming an issue in schools. “According to reports issued by the Physicians Committee for responsible Medicine (PCRM) the USDA dumps hundreds of millions of pounds of surplus beef, chicken, cheese, and pork on the National School lunch Program.”(Lord, 42). Chicken isn't whole white meat; some of it doesn't even taste like meat! Let’s move on to unhealthy foods. There are unlimited amounts of un...

    The regulations passed by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act make it harder than ever for schools to provide adequate nutrition to students by having such rigorous guidelines. While some schools have had no issue following guidelines, not every school is able to source viable food while staying in budget. It is vital that cafeterias are able to successfully meet guidelines, but it is also important that they provide food that students will eagerly consume as well as help them become better students.

  • Lunch Ladies Research Paper

    966 Words  | 2 Pages

    At school we have food that seems appealing to the eye and to our taste. According to Lucy Komisar, The Center for Science in the Public Interest said that, “...sending food to be processed often means lower nutritional value...” (Lucy Komisar. Par.6) What they consider healthy is obviously not as healthy as it could be if food was actually cooked and not processed. All day I see our lunch ladies pulling out different processed food items everyday from those food heaters. We have foods like Chinese food, hamburgers, and chicken sandwiches that are thrown in and out of those food heaters, but how do the lunch ladies know when they are cooked to their full potential? Obviously they do not because many times I have eaten the Chinese food and the rice was uncooked. I have also had many hamburgers and chicken sandwiches that were a pink color because they were not completely done. “The beef and poultry used in schools are held to lower standards than the standards used in fast-food chains like Mcdonald's.”(Amy Kalafa. Par.3) I believe that a lot of that had to do with how these meals are prepared and what they are being prepared in. I feel that if your would not eat the food being served at school at home then it should not be served at all. I think it is best that the government put an end to instant cooking and bring back the classic cooking method into our schools

    Having different food can affect a child health. There are milky ways, cake, cookies, pizza and lets just add some French fries in there and call that lunch. Don’t forget the drink sweet tea, pop and milk that one doesn’t choose to drink it. The students would go back to the class rooms after twenty minutes and be hungry at the end of the da. Garland said, “Instead, we allow school cafeterias to dispense the same junk food that kids could buy in any mall” (621). There has been so much junk food and soft drinks in schools that makes the student health unsafe and a distraction to their education. Garland mentioned that the students are filling up with fat, salt and sugar rather than filling up with fruit, whole grains and vegetables. Schools should be about healthiness, and well balanced diets. With having Students eat healthy can boost up their energy and ability to learn. With that being said when I was in high school it was nothing but junk food for three years. When Michele Obama changed the law on the school lunches my senior lunches have changed. It was nothing but healthy food like whole grain, no sweets, two scoops of fruits and vegetables. At Odessa they had a school store loaded with junk food that would be sold out by forth period. When the law came to the school there was nothing but baked chip and replaced with other baked nutrition food or we had nothing at all. The drink machines were changed out

    But, if they do not like the food served, they won’t eat so they starve for the rest of the school day, which can lead to not focusing on class, feeling sick, and eating too much at dinner. The final reason our school should get a new lunch menu is because there are many problems with the food. For example, many students say the food is cold, fake, and disgusting.
