Canady 1 Taylor Canady Mrs. Freeman 7th Period 28 April 2015 Healthier School Lunches School lunches around the world need to be healthier for our body’s health. The things the world needs to work on is that kids are not eating the fruits, vegetables, and grains they need to eat in a day. The people in this world need to help the kids break their habit of eating junk food all the time. The world need to start by taking away some of the junk food in schools and exchange it with fruits and vegetables. School lunch ladies need to give the kids the nutrients they need so they do not gain weight.
The recent changes to the School Breakfast Program (SBP) and National School Lunch Program (NSLP) have had a significant impact on the nutritional and health status of public and non-profit private schools in the state of Maryland, with the hope of fighting childhood obesity and hunger. The federal and state government, along with the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) have issued regulations and guidelines to improve healthier eating in the United States school system. The economic situation of the state of Maryland is an issue related with the recent change in the school lunch and breakfast programs. The government increased 6 cents per meal reimbursement for the School Breakfast Program and National School Lunch Program, if the participants
Dear Minister Of Health, My name is DArcy and I’m a current grade 11 high school student. To us students, one of the most important parts of our day is lunchtime. Schools are serving us unhealthy lunches that are affecting our obesity rates, increase in disease and are lowering our school performance scores. Lunch programs in place across the nation are not serving us proper foods and are lacking nutrients. Please take some time to read this letter and really think about the effects of children eating unhealthy school lunches.
Comment: I would like to submit my comment on the proposed rule related to changes in National School Lunch Program. I believe that FFVP is beneficial for children’s growth, development and building future healthy eating habits, as well as decreases risk of health problems. Most children do not achieve recommended intake of fresh fruit and vegetables. This food group provides a variety of micronutrients and fiber; it is also emphasized by 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans to maintain excellent health and fight obesity and eating disorders. In my opinion, proposed 15 % of founds for non-food supplies and operations may not be enough, maybe something could be done to reduce administrative cost, to ensure the resources get to the right group.

Both very valid arguments and we will begin to see why during this passage. The first major aspect of this article is why it would be a wise choice to remove unhealthy drinks and snacks from school vending machines. Tom Vilsack states in school is where these children consume half of their daily calorie intake. Schools are promoting unhealthy lifestyles to our younger generation. Vilsack feels by reforming and changing the school meal menu into healthier choices that it will in fact ensure a more nutritious and healthy effect on children.
Introduction Health and Physical education in elementary children is very important in society today. From rainbow parachutes in elementary school to watching videos of pancakes models of the reproductive system in sixth grade, health and physical education teaches children very important aspects on how to live a healthy and active life style. Physical and Health education affects elementary and middle school children in several different ways. More than nine million adolescents are categorized as obese to this day and a lot of this has to do with health and physical education being cut out of schools. Physical education has been shown to not only to make children physically healthier, but mentally as well.
Obese children also obtain lower academic grades as well. Dr. Adshead has been heavily involved with the Public Service Agreement in creating six themes to prevent/treat childhood obesity. These themes are: change in attitude, help children be active and eat healthy, local targeted awareness, raise awareness, work with local partners, and develop knowledge. Along with promoting these themes, Adshead has been involved in a 10 year program targeting children 2-10 years old to encourage healthier eating styles and more active lifestyles. Their program also aims to educate mothers (Top Tips for Top Mums) and promote healthier family lifestyles as a whole.
That is why I strongly believe uniforms should be enforced in every school whether public or private. I think that wearing school uniforms would help students do better in school for mainly three reasons. One is because they save valuable time, they can make school a lot safer for everyone, and they save money. First, school uniforms can save time because students, especially girls, don’t have to spend a lot of time trying to choose clothes to wear. In eliminating this time consuming task, students would have a lot more time to do more important things such as eating breakfast in the morning or doing homework.
