When I compare the lunchtime memories of Jennifer, to those of my other friend Mary, the stories turned out to be very similar. Mary said that her lunch was always packed by her mom and usually consisted of a sandwich, some kind of snack food, like goldfish, a fruit or vegetable and some kind of desert. But unlike Jennifer, Mary would usually eat all of her lunch, including all of the fruits and vegetables. Mary said during her elementary school days, her mom was getting her masters degree and during her high school days, her mom was fully employed. When I asked about if her dad was involved in packing of her lunch, she said that the only time he would attempt was when here mom was either ill or out of town. Her stories about her dad packing her lunch were very similar to mine. She would either buy lunch or her dad would pack her a very strange assortment of foods, like leftovers and poorly made sandwiches. I approached the topic of the polite bite, and her answer was fairly similar to that of Jennifer. She said that as a child, the foods she ate were mainly ones that she and her parents liked and to this day, she is also a very …show more content…
The lunch box and its style is a very important thing in the American lunch culture. If you have a nerdy looking lunch box, you are not as popular or cool as the others. When I was in middle school, the Vera Bradley lunch box was the thing to have. It was what classified you as cool and what made you the loser of the group. Of course, since it was middle school, you had to comply with the norm and have exactly the same thing as everyone else, so you did not run the risk of being the social outcast. For the Japanese, the container was more of a way to transport the food in a manner that would not disrupt the design and the work that the mother had put into
On a tedious Thursday afternoon, the body of an extrusive racketeer named Fannin was found at Ernie’s Lunchroom by police officers. A testimony of the only witness, the proprietor and the only employee, Ernie has said “The murderer had leaned against the wall while firing at point-blank range”. There is also one imprint of the supposed homicidal murderer on one of the walls and the cash register had just been rung up at $8.75. The police believe that person C is the murderer from the hand position of the utensils/hand positions, the relation among persons B, D, and E, and the identification of the Y and X footprints. The victim of this heinous crime is also controversial and the media are portraying Fannin as a criminal due to his reputation of racketeering. Maybe Fannin did deserve what came to him but still the public ought to know the real culprit without no prejudices from the media.
Growing up, like any normal child, I had to follow certain rules set by my parents. Both of my parents are very resourceful and economical, and as a result, food is never wasted in our household. From a young age, my sister and I have been taught to take onto our plates only what we can finish; if we fail to do so, we are scolded without fail with one variation or another of the “think about the poor children in Africa who have nowhere near as much food as you do” lecture. My mom always tries to use as many parts of our food as she can, not very much unlike how the Native Americans used every single part of their meat in order to honor the revered spirits of the animals they hunted; when we have watermelon, instead of throwing away the tasteless

Flex lunch — now in its second year — has been a staple of day-to-day student life in Center High School. CHS students have all the convenience in the world to decide which club they want to join during flex lunch. However, compared to its first year, flex lunch has seen a significant dip in the number of clubs available to students.
“More than a third of the county's children are overweight or obese.”(Gustin, 1). As shocking as this is, it's true. One of the big reasons that children and teens are overweight is because of the foods that they eat. They are fed these fattening and unhealthy foods by the school system. Their futures can be changed if we change our choices. Having more nutritious lunches can have a positive impact on the health of American teens.
On February 1st, 1960, in Greensboro, North Carolina, four African-American college students sat down at a whites-only lunch counter. They asked for coffee, and were refused service. Still, the students waited patiently to be served. They were threatened, and intimidated, but they did not leave. This sparked a wave of sit-ins all through the South. Sometimes the students were beaten, and many times they were arrested. Once the students at the lunch counters were arrested, a new group took their place. The SNCC was created in response to this, which stands for the student nonviolent coordinating committee, and they organized sit-ins and other protests all over the country.
Last week, my friend was very hungry late on a thursday night and asked me if I would go with her to get food. I told her I wasn’t too hungry but that I would happily join her. When I got in her car, she asked me where I wanted to go and I told her I would go wherever she wanted because I could eat something small anywhere. Despite the fact that she was the one who was hungry for a full-meal we spent roughly 30 minutes driving the streets of Salem as she calmly asked me: “Would you eat at Chipotle? Would you eat at Mod Pizza?”

Each daycare has their own menu for the children’s breakfast and lunch. Through my observations, I have noticed that the “Don’t Worry Childcare” has a variety of food options throughout the month. For example, the children could either choose from fruit loops cereal, or frosted flakes for breakfast. The snacks eaten varies every day as well. For instance, the children ate milk and cookies one day, and cheese crackers another day. An example of lunch would be, milk, chicken fingers, French fries, green beans, and mixed fruit one day, and spaghetti, corn, peaches, and bread and butter another day. I observed the children eat ham, mashed potatoes, green beans, and peaches one day for lunch. All those food options seemed very delicious. Each meal and snack give the children an option to what they would like to drink. For instance, the children can pick
The research that involved Lunch is in the Bag was quite successful in the child care centers which they were tested in. In the introduction it talked about three main food groups that were focused on throughout the whole research. This was fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

Imagine that you walk into a cafeteria and you see children in line to buy lunch. The lunch is burnt and cold. You see the kids who bought lunch sit down and start asking people for food, they say no. At the end of the lunch period the kids lunch trays still have all the food on them. The children are starving and a lot of food was wasted. You don’t want that right? I believe that our school should get a new lunch menu because many students do not like the food served, there are not many options, and there are many problems with the food.
