School cafeterias are one other place for unhealthy foods. Most Schools have fast foods sponsoring them. Some school lunches are not that good or cooked right. Some school lunches are not that healthy either or not that good for the digestive system. Cafeterias should have better selections on the menus. The government has supported the school lunched and have it be in portions that the plate will be healthy. On most school lunches even breakfast have some healthy food choices but not that much. So, the government will say the cafeterias having the same menus. School lunches should have the menu have healthier options.
On school lunch menus, they do not have the calorie count right by it or tells them what we are eating. The foods are not that
On the menus they should have the calories on the menus with the food names on it. The lunch people also should know the calories of all foods. The kids should also how much calories they should eat or ask their parents for how much there supposed to eat. The cafeteria should get the calorie count plate and have them type in on what foods they have on the plate and it will tell you the calories they are eating. As the principle is counting the calories on all the foods. The lunch people should get the food ready and have it set on the counter for everyone. Everyone that is getting their lunches should also know the calories on it and ask if it is good for them.
The school must have all those things in the essay and should keep track of what they are feeding the kids. The principle is somewhat responsible for what they are feeding the kids. The lunch people is also responsible for what they are handing out the food. The scoops they give the children are too much. On the other hand the parents of the kids is also there faults a little. The parents should be watching their kids what they eat. The kids should know what to eat and what not to eat and know what is healthy. In conclusion the kids are at fault and schools also because the school lets what the kids
Bringing awareness to unhealthy lunches are not helping school lunches get healthy says chef ann cooper an author, educator, and chef. But the government is not completely ignoring it the issue. The federal government has a variety of rules and regulations
Unhealthy foods are what make the money for schools and that is why they serve them for students. (Schlafy) Schools feel like they need the extra money in the budget, even though it is at the student’s expense. Data shows that nearly 60% of all middle schools in the US serve soda from vending machines. (Schlafy) Soda is very high in sugar and is not at all good for children, but it is still sold in school vending machines. The ways food in schools is now are way too high in fats and sugars. This is not good for the children and very bad in the long run. Elementary schoolchildren have an estimated $15 billion of their own money that they can use to buy whatever they want in schools, and parents have almost another $160 billion to give students for food money. (Schlafy) Big businesses see this as a big source of profit and therefore encourage children to buy their products, and want them to be offered in school because of th4e likelihood of children buying the business’s product. All in all, obesity in the US is greatly influenced by the foods offered in schools
Allowing healthier school lunches will decrease obesity in children because it will give them the proper nutrition to reduce the risk of health issues. Since obesity causes many health issues, maintaining a proper nutrition will reduce the risk of health issues. According to Star- Telegram, a daily newspaper that serves Fort Worth and areas of North Texas states, “[School lunches that have] a meal of pizza sticks, a banana, raisins and whole milk has given way to whole wheat spaghetti with meat sauce, a whole wheat roll green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, kiwi and low-fat milk … This change will help more than 2.4 million Texas students who receive a free or reduced- price school lunch to lead healthier, more active lives—in and out of the classroom”(Par. 2 and 4). School lunches are supposed to guarantee students a well balance meal, so they can have the energy to proceed with their classes throughout the day. Meanwhile, students who receive a f...
Without being informed and taught how to cook, some students have to rely on eating pre-packed or fast food since they aren’t educated on how to cook. Students will have to resort to these unhealthy foods and takes more money out of their pocket as well as made the overall population more obese.
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
To begin, school meals do not set a solid foundation for children regarding the diet habits they will have for the rest of their lives. For example, they are teaching kids that greasy pizza and corn dogs are a part of a healthy, nutritious diet. One student says, “We think school lunches are healthy because they have all these posters in the cafeteria telling us to eat healthy food and be active; we think the school is doing their part by serving us healthy food too, but they are not” (Jimenez). Not only do children think that this cheap food is a good choice, but schools also think they are benefiting because of how much money they conserve.
Now, some students are underweight and can control what they eat, but others can't. That is not healthy. Healthier foods would help the students focus more, be more energetic and not feel so tired all the time. If the school menu changes to a healthier one then students would become healthy.
Lunch is one of the most important meals of the day and is consumed mostly in school cafeterias for children and adolescence. Wholesome lunches are vital in maintaining a healthy metabolism and give children energy for the rest of the school day. Children are advised to eat healthily but do not always do so because the choices of tastier, fatty foods offered in school cafeterias. The National School Lunch Program, NSLP, which is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools set nutritious guidelines for lunches served in school cafeterias (USDA). However, school campuses still offer foods high in fat as well as selling candy, chips, and soda in their vending machines, as well as their school shops. In order
To conclude, unhealthy foods in the cafeteria and the vending machines are the worst examples for the kids to maintain the healthy eating habits. Us Parents have to step in to make changes for our kids because in doing so would determine what kind of foods our kids are consuming. We do know for facts they are not getting the proper nutrients while in school, although they do spend in average of eight to 12 hours in schools. We, the parents, can start to make a difference, by attending the school meetings and being active in our kids functions in schools.
With the implementation of the “Healthy Kids Hunger-Free Act” schools are not serving as many lunches and participation is decreasing. According to the Government Accountability Office (GOA), “Nationwide, student participation declined by 1.2 million students(or 3.7 percent) from school year 2010-2011 through school year 2012-2013, after having increased steadily for many years”(sec. 1). The school lunches became more distasteful and bland; the combinations of foods did not make sense, and the portion sizes decreased significantly. In order to support the cafeteria
Even though a fear of the cafeteria ladies is that they will not know how much food to make each day, students should bring their own lunch and the teachers can create a system to solve this problem. The staff believes that if students bring sack lunches every day, or change it every other day, then they will not be able to prepare the right amount of food. This problem can be solved in many ways though. At Lost Creek Elementary, we highlighted our names on the attendance sheet if we wanted to eat the school lunch the next day. This could easily be changed a little bit to a high school setting. The first period teacher can take attendance like usual and then ask everyone if they will be eating today’s lunch, or tomorrow's lunch. Whatever choice works better for the cafeteria. That way, the staff knows about how many to cook for. Each day, the teacher can announce what the next lunch is going to be, so students can prepare and decide if they want to eat that lunch or not. Another way to guess how many kids to cook for is to take a count of how many students eat that lunch each time. They can keep track of how many kids eat that meal and use it to estimate the amount for the next time. Hoops exchanged information about how she keeps production records of how many kids she fed that day and how much food she made. That would be similar to what they could
Why is this a problem? Cafeteria food is often cheap, bought in bulk, high in calories, malnutritious, and microwaved. Student polls and opinions prove this. Therefore, this leads to a suggestion: Healthier, tastier foods and a better, more advanced lunch system should be implemented. First of all, students aren’t motivated to eat unhealthy, not-tasty food.
The school is responsible for failing to give the students fresh food. They should take action and be more involved in what they are giving the students and what kind of lifestyle they are giving the students. Schools need to see that the school lunch given is not healthy enough and they need to fight to get more money. They need to start making fresh food and not processed chicken nuggets. In "How to Improve Your School's Lunch Program.", Michelle Stern a mother of two children saw what the school offered her children and she took action and she changed the school lunches for her kids in her school district (Par 1). Kids want better food. Schools need to find more money so the students can have a healthier lunch and they won’t eat the unhealthy processed food that is full of fat.
Some school cafeterias are striving to offer students better lunch options in terms of both nutrition and taste. Do you think eating cafeteria food is unhealthy for you? Nearly 20 percent of children in the U.S. have been diagnosed with obesity. Some of the blame for this comes from cafeteria food and a lack of exercise. Every day millions of students around the world eat lunch that is served at school. Numerous factors lead to unhealthy eating in schools and on campuses. I think that cafeteria food is not safe to eat. Every time you take a bite you are harming your health.
In my personal opinion I think the food should be healthier and less expensive than the restaurants outside the school. “Compared with usual price conditions, price reductions resulted in a four-fold increase in fresh fruit sales and a two-fold increase in baby carrot sales.” (French, 2003). School cafeteria offers understudy a wide range of sorts of nourishment; for instance, pizza, French fries, chicken burger, and so forth. In any case, did you ever imagine that school cafeteria is much excessively costly for understudies? The school cafeteria is taking excessively benefit from understudies; furthermore, the sustenance that they are offering in the cafeteria isn't solid. In the event that there is no cafeteria, understudy could simply go outside school and eat better nourishment and less expensive ones. Since there is school cafeteria in school, they should begin adjusting the cost with understudies. Excessively adjust the value we should discover what number of understudies have employment and what number of understudies don't profit. From this summative, you will discover the normal understudy's benefit and measure of they burn through cash on school cafeteria in more detail and will consequence of understudy with work utilizes more cash one school
