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.
He insists they would not eat as much if they knew that it was bad for them or if the industry put nutrition labels on their food. My outlook on this topic varied significantly from that of Zinczenko’s. I feel that it is not the fault of the fast food company. Neither would I put blame on the younger children who eat fast food. I would put most of the culpability on the parents who do not teach their kids how to maintain a healthy lifestyle and buy their children unhealthy food. I disagree completely that we as Americans suffer from lack of information about nutrition in fast food.
Although many people may not like natural food because it do not have not flavor, natural food does provide enough nutrients, so people can have more energy in their daily life performance. For instance, when I eat homemade food, I have sufficient energy to be able to study, play soccer, and go to work. Therefore, I enjoy more to eat homemade food than eating processing food. Pollen believes Cooking is one of the most important health consequences of buying food from local farmers” (Pollen539) I agree, because I feel so different when I do not eat homemade food. As a result, eating homemade food with natural ingredients, it would help me out to do better of my daily activities.
In fact, it is more so a problem than in other countries. Francine Prose tries to decipher the various reasons why obesity has grown to the forefront of problems associated with today. The author explains that society gives too much to people in terms of different variety of food. There is food around us all the time and it is very tempting not to eat it, “schools and employers might forbid the sale of junk food on campus and in offices” (Prose 212), which is hard to image that this can be done. The author suggests that society should stop giving people junk food and it can help stop obesity.
We could even lower the cost of health care in the future as well. Unhealthy eating habits contribute to health problems such as diabetes, Madden 3 Obesity and heart problems. The eating habits that cause these problems are our negligence in every way and we must control them at all costs. We have to hold ourselves accountable rather than blaming some fast food place and take control of our lives. We can’t sue Wal Mart for selling us an unlimited amount of chocolates, so why can we consider suing due to the fact that we have consumed too many calories from a meal we purchased at some fast food establishment?
They decided not to upgrade the fast food standers. They feel that if a consumer feels it is far too unhealthy for them they won’t eat it. They claim that if eaten in moderation fast food is not unhealthy at all. If a person exercises regularly like they should an occasional fast food visit won’t hurt them at all. They thought it wasn’t there place to tell the company to make better healthier food, they feel that’s like telling each individual to eat healthier, this is basically telling them what to eat.
If someone eats junk food all the time and that person’s mother or friend told him/her to eat healthy, it’s less likely that he/she will listen to them, but if he/she admires Jamie Oliver and he suggests to eat healthy, then there is more possibility for that person to follow what he says. If we do not have a good role model then we will not learn any behaviours and it can make our self esteem low . Humanism
Showing them how to obtain a healthy lifestyle will benefit them for the future. It's very important that kids will be able to keep themselves away from obesity when they're older and on their own. Although parents can't completely put a stop to this solely, fast food restaurant's cheap and convenient food takes a big part in this issue as well. Every day that comes people have the control to eat what they want. After a hard day of work most people want a quick and easy dinner so they automatically think of eating out for the night.
Also, buying healthier snacks may not taste as sweet as donuts or cakes but they do cost less. Students who decide to buy apples and oranges will save a few dollars, compared to those students who are buying donuts and cakes, because the money will start to add up more than they think it will. Making decisions such as eating healthier will also keep students healthy thus providing them with the nutrients to think and perform better during class. My aunt introduced an idea to me which makes sense and also saves money. The idea is called “Pot-lucking”, this is where people from the same dorm or floor puts money together and buys food for all students on the floor one week, and then the next week a different room has the same plan.
Nothing worse can hurt a company’s reputation than a headline in the local newspaper that states “Company Q refuses to offer food to the local area food bank, due to employee trust.” The public knows this is not a valid excuse, and could start purchasing their products elsewhere. Working with the local food bank is not only the ethical thing to do, but will also demonstrate their commitment to the general welfare of the public. Company Q could also take this a step further and have a local food drive during the holiday’s and offer discounts to consumers who donate over a certain amount. Pretty soon, word of mouth will spread, and Company Q’s grocery chains will be a major player in the community. Consumers will be more likely to spend their money at Company Q’s grocery store chains over others because they will feel involved as well in the contribution of their
