School authorities hope that by exposing more and more fruits and vegetables to children that they’re eventually have a taste for it and it would become a habit of they daily lives. Having actual real meat instead of the processed junk we are served is starting to become a real problem “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.” Chicken isn't whole white meat, some of it doesn't even taste like meat. Let’s continue on to unhealthy foods. There is a huge list of unhealthy foods that we have. Desserts such as cookies, shaved ice, or we can call them what other people see them as for example, muffins, frozen
This will result in improved, healthier lunches and breakfasts around the country. Although many healthy, nutritious foods may not be the tastiest, the government should impose restrictions on what kind of foods can be served in cafeterias because they choose foods that are nutritious for children, and more than one in three of children in the United States are obese and need to be healthier. What are the most delicious foods to students? Well, the foods that students enjoy eating the most may not be allowed to be severed at their lunch. This is due to the fact some of the most delicious foods are the unhealthiest.
It is a bad habit not to eat dinner but I pay for it in the morning because I’m starving. In between the normal meals I consume whatever junk food I can get on the go, like ice cream, candy, or cookies. This is no where near what I should have based on a healthy diet. According to the food pyramid I do not get the needed amounts in the various food groups. Based on the food pyramid I am supposed to consume a 2000 calorie diet.
But this will entirely change if these people get a job because they can’t rely on food stamps forever. Roughly 85% of the food stamps recipients are single parent homes so it will be hard to go to your job if you have a young child. But Republicans have proposed to spend 1 billion dollars toward child care. People might say what’s the point of working is if you have food on the table. But there is a point because if people start working they can be independent.
In the book, Bloom said “it’s easier for today’s children to waste food because they are so removed from its origins.” The reason why we waste food easily is we don’t have the chance to plant, water, or nurse the plants by ourselves, so we don’t know how hard it is to plant and grow the food. After reading this book, I feel so sorry for what I did every day by wasting my food and I have decided to do something better such as ordering less amount of food and take any leftovers home and cook them with other ingredients to make them into new dish, instead of throwing them into the trash can. If we can continue doing this, food wastes can be decreased. Also, we should care about our environment by not tossing the food into the trash because wasting food can negatively impact our environment, which will reduce our natural resources. For
The author uses argumentation to try to persuade the reader that many parents do not care what their children eat. He also suggests children are quite frequently allowed to eat unhealthy foods. Crister also states the foods are often from places which do not monitor what the foods contain and just make them attractive to children. Even though the author does make use of language which makes his essay appeal to who ever read it, he fails to address the other sides of the issues. For example he uses analogy when he states that thinness should be a way of life for people in today’s society.
Unfortunately, student and parents rely on these lunches because they do not have the income to be able to afford either full-priced or homemade lunches. The only foreseeable way for American students to receive healthier lunches in their school cafeterias is if someone can create a solution to the cost problems. To fully understand the cost problem behind all of this, one must first understand that processed and pre-made foods are much less expensive than healthier, homemade alternatives. For example, if someone was going to make a lasagna dinner for their family they would be much more likely to want homemade lasagna because homemade is always better tasting and also healthier than pre-made frozen lasagna. However, when looking at the cost of both options,
(www.cnpp.usda.gov) Also, two out of three school children eat what the National School Lunch Programs (NSLP) provides. The school lunches consist of frozen veggies, non-fresh fruit and processed meats. All processed foods are full of chemicals. Parents need to do something about the lunch that is being provided to our children. We need to stand up for them and get the schools to provide healthy foods.
It explains that we as parents not only have to fight against the media advertising the junk food commercials, but now we must fight against the public school system serving the poor choices in the school lunches. The author, Dr. Joseph Esposito is founder and developer of AlignLife Netraceauticals. The audience will most likely be parents concerned with their child’s health and well being. Overall, I like and agree with the information in the article. Galenet.galegroup.com “Health and Fitness Across the Curriculum.” Paperclip Communications (2005).
As a result, his own recommendations include: limiting the consumption of sodas, junk food as well as avoiding a sedentary lifestyle. Weintraub's argument is that parental responsibility in food choices and physical activity over kids will result in combating childhood obesity, rather than only blaming the fast food industry by itself. To concur with Weintraub, it is the parent's responsibility to combat childhood obesity, although fast food industry also shares the responsibility. It is the role of the parents to instill good eating habits and to serve as role models for their children. If the kid has no medical reason for gaining weight then it seems acceptable to blame the parents.
