Chocolate milk and a cafeteria don't go together like frosting on a cupcake, so don’t put them together. Schools should not serve chocolate milk to students. It’s easy to think that chocolate milk is just as healthy as white milk, but when you look at the facts, it is very clear that we should not serve chocolate milk in schools. It has been found that our bodies don’t need chocolate milk, there is too much sugar, and chocolate milk can cause illnesses and diseases. Chocolate milk should not be served in schools now or ever again. One reason we should not serve chocolate milk is there is too much sugar. For example, Chloe Baker, from the Australian Investigative Reporter, says, “That one carton of milk has 30 grams of added sugar, white milk to start has 12 grams of sugar already, that is more than soda!” Many people think that chocolate milk is healthy but, it really is not healthy at all. Also, “When kids drink just …show more content…
For example, according to PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) short term diseases can cause high levels of cholesterol, and saturated fat leads to obesity, most people say this isn’t true but studies show it is. Why have your kids get sick when there are other things waiting, this is important for parents to know and avoid this drink. In addition, PETA says “In long term conditions it causes cholesterol and saturated fat leads to heart disease and cancer.” This shows that chocolate milk can cause illnesses or diseases to kids or adults. To conclude, Dr.Frank A. Oski Director at the Department of Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University says that chocolate milk can cause cramps, diarrhea, and allergies, all things that can be short or long term effects. This supports my claim because, it shows that children or adults could get this from this harmful drink in disguise. As one can see, we need to stop serving chocolate milk because of the illnesses and diseases it
Adverts often mask foods that are unhealthy by emphasising its positive nutritional features – such as dietary fibre and protein. While at the same time ignoring its negative features – including the high amounts of saturated fat and sugar contents. In some cases, even products that mention any alleged health benefits are usually are outweighed by the health risks associated with consuming the product, that they just fail to
Just like the kid that buys a sugary cereal just because it has Spongebob Squarepants on it, or like the person that goes to Disneyland to have fun but at end of that day, they can buy a churro. Parents also need to take a action in this too, just because you kid gives you a temper tantrum doesn’t mean that you need to buy them the candy they want in order for them to stop crying, and parents should also be informed of the things that their kids are consuming at their schools. Food companies should market or promote the TINY WORDS on the back of their product that informs all of the substances they used to make the product, to the consumer. Just like they would promote their food products to get consumers. Think about these following questions: What will you do to be informed of the chemicals used on the products you and your family consumes? Is it worth buying just because it has your favorite characters, movie, or games on
People are not prone to agree with one another. If you gather a dozen people together for a dinner party and the subject turns to politics or religion, then there is inevitably going to be an argument. There is one thing, however, that there is a near universal consensus on: chocolate is a wonderful and delicious thing.
According to clinical research at the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), chocolate milk has little or no benefit for bones. This teaches us that chocolate milk is not needed in the cafeteria. Chocolate milk also doesn’t have the same 9 essential nutrients as white milk. And, Ann Cooper, the head of the nutrition services for Boulder Valley School district says, “ It works as a treat for home, but it doesn't belong in schools.” All of this shows that chocolate milk has little or no benefit for children's
In addition, the USDA is exposed for promoting products such as cheese, milk, and high fructose corn syrup in a fictional way. They provided no information that they were unhealthy in the
Starting with the dark chocolate; this type of chocolate has a natural source of antioxidants. Then in 2008, Hershey began making chocolate with vegetable oil instead of cocoa butter (Hershey, n.d.). No milk chocolate is not a healthy snack but popping one in your mouth is only 25 calories (Sun-Sentinel, 2007). These improvements modified the chocolate recipe to attract more clientele (Hershey, n.d.).
It is thought that food is a symbolic representation of emotions in Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquirel. In the novel, the youngest daughter of the family, Tita is forbidden to marry her one true love, Pedro. This is due to the family tradition that she must live by which mandates Tita to care Mama Elena, until death; and forbids her to marry. To correct this, Pedro ends up marrying Tita’s sister Rosaura in order to remain close to Tita. This causes a great deal of issues within the family. In the novel, food and its preparation is used as a central organizing metaphor. In her novel, like water for chocolate, Laura Esquirel uses the preparation of food symbolically over the course of the book in order to display the emotions of Tita,
“The Institute of Medicine,” a branch of the National Academy of Sciences, last summer confirmed that trans fat is directly associated with heart disease and increases in LDL cholesterol, the kind that can clog arteries” (Severson). Trans fat has proved time and again that it is the worst type of fat because it just sits in your body causing potential clogging of the arteries. Furthermore, multiple sources claim that Oreos are actually addictive. In a new study by Connecticut college, students researched the effects of Oreos on lab rats under the direction of Professor Joseph Schroeder. They found that Oreos activate the same “pleasure center” of the brain as morphine and cocaine. A later study by the same people found that the rats’ behavior towards Oreo cookies was the same as their behavior towards cocaine and morphine and even found that Oreos “triggered more neurons in the brain than cocaine or morphine” (Berry). In addition, one ingredient, HFCS, (High Fructose Corn Syrup), is known to cause problems such as obesity, increased insulin resistance, belly fat, and heart disease. What’s more important is that there are multiple types of HFCSs that have different amounts of fructose in them, and producers like Nabisco don’t have to identify which kind they are using
This proves that chocolate milk does not cause obesity but colas and sport drinks According to Melissa Dobbins a nutritionist,¨ At schools the kids will drink six or seven crates of chocolate milk for every one crate of white milk. By saying that it proves that chocolate milk is preferred more than white milk Which means they will get needed nutrients. Secondly, when schools switch to only white milk the milk consumption drops by thirty-five percent, according to the Western Dairy Association. This shows that kids will prefer no milk over plain milk, and once again they won´t get their needed nutrients.
In Lee Ann Fisher Baron’s “Junk Science,” she claims that the “food industry with the help of federal regulators” sometimes use “[a science that] bypasses [the] system of peer review. Presented directly to the public by…‘experts’ or ‘activists,’ often with little or no supporting evidence, this ‘junk science’ undermines the ability…[for] everyday consumers to make rational decisions” (921). Yet Americans still have a lot of faith in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). According to a 2013 Pew Research study, 65% of Americans are “very favorable” or “mostly favorable” of the FDA. When it comes to what people put in their bodies, the FDA has a moral obligation to be truthful and transparent. The bottom line of the FDA’s myriad of responsibilities is to help protect the health of Americans. Deciding what to eat is a critical part of living healthily, and consumers must be able to trust that this massive government agency is informing them properly of the contents of food. While the FDA does an excellent job in many areas, it has flaws in other areas. One of its flaws is allowing the food industry to print food labels that are deceptive, unclear, or simply not true (known as misbranding). This is quite the hot topic because a Google search for “Should I trust food labels” returns well over 20 million results, many of which are blog posts from online writers begging their readers not to trust food labels. HowStuffWorks, a division of Discovery Communications, published an online article whose author claims that “[the food industry] will put what they want on labels. They know the game….” While the food industry is partially at blame for misbranding, the FDA is allowing it to happen. If a mother tells her children that it is oka...
... in food in the cafeteria lead to clogging the arteries that eventually lead to heart diseases (Ardis). Nevertheless, artificial sweeteners have not been tested in humans and show kids they are healthier, rather than real sugar and real sweeteners, when in reality they contain ingredients that can cause cancer.
The Chocolate War is a novel about a teenage boy named Jerry that attends an all-boys school named Trinity. Every year they sell chocolates and all of the boy are meant to sell fifty boxes of chocolates. They all do except for Jerry. All because of the Vigils (a school gang). Some people may have enjoyed The Chocolate War however there is some things to avoid. The Chocolate War may end up with arguments between schools and parents because of the things that are talked about in this book. Some parents may not like there child reading this book in school. The Chocolate War should be banned from school because of its sexual content, profane language, and horrific violence.
“Would You Eat Breast Milk Cheese?” (Hamm, 2010). I have shown this headline to multiple people and have received the same reaction from everyone. Most of these people I work with at a daycare. We all handle and serve breast milk on a daily basis. Also we watch mothers nurse their infants. Yet, the reaction did not surprise me, even with this comfort level with human breast milk. This reaction falls along the line of disgust and shock. One person even reacted with a sharp reply of “I DID NOT NEED TO SEE THAT!” There is something about the thought of consuming human breast milk that makes people squirm.
More and More people are becoming concerned about what they eat, especially if they consume food products that are manufactured in food industries. However, it is hard to know what exactly you are consuming if food industries provide false nutrition content and mislead consumers by placing false advertisements on the packaging. When a company produces a product that contains misleading label, consumers are not receiving complete information about the food they are eating which could lead to health issues including allergies and problems with diabetes.
“At a time when an alarming number of teenagers are overweight and out of shape, these advocates say the last thing America’s schoolchildren need is a cola war that stations more vending machines in hallways and makes it easier for kids to buy soda.” (Kaufman) Like Mare Kaufman said, there is an alarming number of teenagers overweight and out of shape. Being overweight often leads to obesity which can cause serious health issues. Schoolchildren should not have sweet sugary soda available to them during school hours. This is the kind of drink that is fattening America’s children and making them become obese. Sugar is jam packed with empty calories that do nothing but make kids have poor health. “In Huntington, West Virginia one half of adults are obese.” (Pilot) One half of a population being not just overweight, but obese, is outrageous. Although this is only a city in a small state, if this pattern continues all of America could be obese. Being obese is being twenty percent over your ideal body weight. “One out of three children are obese.” (Harris) Junk food being sold in schools contributes to childhood obesity. Since various schools teach the subject health, and about healthy living in general, they should not be hypocritical. Saying to eat healthy, then selling junk food is contradictory, ironic, and perverse. Overall, completely banning junk food from being sold in
