He goes on to say that the children themselves will be sold to be cooked and eaten. However, not all the children produced will be sold, in fact only 100,000 Irish children out of the population will be set aside to be sold. The author goes on to suggest various ways to cook the children, such as stewing, roasting, baking, and boiling them. In addition to this, he calculates exactly how much a child should weigh in order to be served for dinner and how many guests the child will be able to feed. In addition to providing food for the wealthy and an income for the poor, Swift says that raising children for food will give the Irish economy a substantial boost.
A “young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food… upon a medium that a child just born will weigh 12 pounds…increased to 28 pounds” were they shall “contribute to the feeding, and partly to the clothing, of many thousands.” (3,2) He compares children of a year old to animals, where they will be used as food and even clothing. The meat of course will be “somewhat dear”, which will be “very proper” for the rich. Swift also “recommends” buying the children alive and “dressing them hot from a knife,” as they do when “roasting pigs”. He also offers that “of the hundred and twenty thousand children already computed, twenty thousand may be reserved for breed, whereof only one-fourth part to be males; which is more than [they] allow sheep, black cattle, or swine.” (3) Here Swift proposes that they use some of the children only for breeding and brings in the fact that it is “more than [they] allow” animals, showing that these lower class children are not much better than swine, cattle, and sheep. The “remaining hundred thousand may, at a year old, be offered in the sale to the persons of quality and fortune through the kingdom… so as to render them plump and fat for a good table.” (3) He refers to selling the children like they are animals, not caring of how they are treated, only that they are to be eaten

Only 25 percent of schools say they've reduced fats and oils in recipes.” Majority of students eat school lunch 5 days a week. That means that most of their food is coming from the cafeteria. Although, the schools do tend to offer healthy choices such as salads, subs, reduced fat milk, and unlimited fruits and vegetables.

'Which is the name people usually give to their prejudices,' rejoined Kay.” “Life, for Colin, was one long brace against pain and disappointment, and everybody apart from his wife was an enemy until proven otherwise.” “You want to draw a line neatly between the home-owning middle classes and the lower—’ ‘Pagford’s full of working-class people, Kay; the difference is, most of them work. D’you know what proportion of the Fields lives off benefits? Responsibility, you say: what happened to personal responsibility? We’ve had them through the local school for years: kids who haven’t got a single worker in the family; the concept of earning a living is completely foreign to them; generations of non-workers, and we’re expected to subsidize them...” “He was trying to rid himself of his own acquired middle-class reliance on words, but it was difficult to forgo a sport at which he excelled, and as he trod the polished tiles of the shopping centre forecourt, he found himself turning phrases that would blow Cubby’s self-important pretensions apart and strip him naked before a jeering public …” “He wondered whether he imagined a trace of amusement in her voice; because Skye was the soft, safe option, the place the middle-class kids went.” “‘Your birth mother,’ she said, looking at him as she had never done before,
A caring family, a loving environment and clear direction, as military school provides, and the ways different people deal with poverty, can easily be the factors that made Wes Moore the author pursue a positive lifestyle while his counterpart ended up in prison for life.

He started to act up missing school, doing petty crimes like graffiti, and started up with his sister. His mom decided that she had to send him to military school to get his act together, so with the help of his grandparents his mother was able to send him away.

The daycare has a large playroom with attached changing area, a children dining room and an outdoor area. For infants around 11 months old, they should be cruising around while holding onto the furniture. They should be feeding himself by now or put things into his own mouth.
The article is also based on an observation by journalist Harriet Sergeant, who spent 1 year discussing with gang members and found out that those who lack a male figure in the family whilst growing up had more conflicts and chaos at home meaning that most of them were misled and not warned about consequences of any actions. This again links to explaining why the summer riots has occurred: the fact the main members who were part of the chaos were the ones who lacked being led by a father figure, helping them to grow up “to do better”, being told what is acceptable in society and what to avoid doing. This is why they are less aware of the consequences and the effects of their actions, leading them to be part of events such as the riots of 2011, causing harm to the
Whereas, in the poem Chimney Sweeper, the subject of the poem is about little children around five to ten year old who go and climb up to the chimney to clean it. The children don’t want to clean the chimney but they have to because their family is very poor and they rely on him to earn money. Secondly, the poem You’re shows positivism about the child. The poem also shows that the mother loves him a lot. “A clean slate with your own face on.” The word ‘clean slate’ shows that the child will be fine.
