...the information given about Lacy Elementary School, there are some concerns about the cafeteria situation. Student characteristics can be affected by their surroundings. At Lacy Elementary School, one main concern is the school is overcrowded. The school was built to hold approximately 500 students but it currently over capacity by approximately 150 students. Even though a lot of students tend to not eat breakfast, at Lacy Elementary, it is just the opposite. The bulk of the students come to eat breakfast which is a great way to start the day. According to Basch, skipping breakfast “has a negative impact on academic achievement by adversely affecting cognition and absenteeism” (Basch, 2011). Students sit quietly, talk and finish their homework during the breakfast session. The majority of the students discard their trash in the appropriate places. When it is time for the students to leave and go to class, students aren’t too noisy and exit the cafeteria appropriately. During lunch shift, the students’ actions are completely different. Since there are only 2 lunch shifts, the cafeteria is over crowded with students. Students walk around from table to table, shout, push students, and some students work on homework instead of eating. When exiting the cafeteria from lunch, some students push other students, they create a bottleneck around the door way, and some students run towards their next destination....

...There has been a huge debate between students and the school board at hatch valley high on the idea of closing the campus off from all students during lunch. This method is not needed nor does it need to be enforced for many reasons . one reason is the school food is not appetizing to the students. Also most of the students want to relax during lunch time and mainly get out if the school and relax. Lastly some students also have to be responsible and maybe run errands for their parents during lunch time . For many students eating the lunch that the school provides its not something they enjoy doing. Students often say that the food that the school provides is nasty and disgusting they also believe that there are not enough food for them to keep a healthy diet. For example an athlete has to consume more food than a regular student and some time the lunches provided at the school don't allow them to do that. Many of the students love to go off campus and eat because they have a wide variety of restaurants...

...just to collect your own small bowl --or tray-- of heaven we call school lunch? SMART lunch should be a time to study, finish homework, or unwind. But how can a person focus with people crashing through the hall in the fashion of a herd of elephants or screeching not unlike chimps fighting for the ripest banana? My only escape is the chorus room, nevertheless, even the brief fifty-foot walk down the hall is unnecessarily difficult and occasionally dangerous. On one occasion, due to the behavior exhibited in the hallway, I was almost provoked into creating a scene of my own. As expected, the cafeteria building was chaos necessitating me to weave and dodge through the crowd, however, this time after paying for my lunch, little did I know, I would be...

...Yummmmmm, school lunches, it includes a variety of rotten pizza, undercooked chicken, and the everyday cold lunch. The lunch ladies should pay us to eat lunch from their cafeteria. The lunch is horrible, disgusting, as well as awful. The school might as well make the meat a mystery, because I bet you, they’re lying. Just bring 100 snacks from home and you would still be eating healthier. Also, school lunches can easily make a young adolescent fall sick. I mean I only fell sick for two weeks, because of school lunches! Pursuing this further, I believe students should take lunch from home. Although you may think buying lunch from cafeteria is more convenient, think about your health. You may save room in your book bag, but its just one lunchbox. Being...

...All schools have rules that in theory sound good, but do not end up working out very well. At Conroe High School, there are lot of rules. A rule that needs to be changed is lunch being only twenty minutes. (Which for athletes who are released late it is even less than that.) Some will say, if lunch is longer, it will leave more time for people to cause trouble. However, that is not actually the case. As it would be more time to do positive things. Having a longer lunch would allow students to get help from teachers, speak, with a counselor, etc. All of which normally take up class time. If those things were to be done in the short lunch time there is now, no one would even have time to actually eat! A problem I, and many other students...

...legislation to have the money to begin with and because I lived in Cleveland my whole life and so know a lot about bad streets and highway and how costly it is to get a bent rim fixed on your car because of problems with crumbling streets and high ways I can see why fixing them would be good side but I believe that the taking the 100 million to increase funds for school lunches to underprivileged is a much better idea. Coming from an underprivileged family I like many other children from my community received free/ discount lunch and when it wasn’t supplied by the school my parents had to use whatever food we had in the house for mem to take to lunch. A lot of time the meals weren’t the healthiest because like many other families we could not afford the health choices this such as fresh fruit and vegetables weren’t always available for me to take to school. If the 100 million were sent to increase funds for school lunches to the underprivileged all students would have the same opportunity to eat the same meal and have the same healthy...

...Build A Healthy Lifestyle Schools in America give fast food to students every day for a meal. How can we build a healthy lifestyle? The United States Department of Agriculture gives to public schools cash for every meal they serve. It is $2.57 and for free lunch, $2.17 for a reduced price lunch, and 24 cents for a paid lunch. In 2007, the program cost around $9 billion to cover food costs. Most people do not realize that very little of this money even goes toward food. Schools have to use it to pay for everything from custodial services to heating in the cafeteria. (Alice and Katrina 2). The national epidemic of childhood obesity is well-recognized, yet the effect of community-based programs and policies on childhood obesity prevention is...

...Most students are complaining about healthy lunch at school. It is a fact, nine out of ten students surveyed don't like the school lunch, when in fact they should. This year is a mush healthier lunch in cafeteria. There are vegetables and you have fat free milk also. I have some ideas how students can live a healthy life by eating healthy, avoiding fast food, and try to make a limit. First, healthy means having or indicating good health in your body, and being healthy is better way to live your life. If students will eat healty they would be able to do or achieve anything in his/her own way. In body person could be strong and healthy. They will have positive thoughts and not negative thoughts. Second, students should eat healthy and...

...of school lunches has sparked an increased interest in providing free meals for all students as New York City has motioned to do. In the city, approximately 75% of students had already qualified for free or reduced meals leaving the majority of food expenses to fall on struggling communities (Piccoli, Sean). Other major cities such as Boston, Chicago, and Detroit have begun subsidizing more of the school lunch programs and entertaining the idea of providing it entirely free of cost (Piccoli, Sean). By utilizing a federal program that enables school districts whose students reach a certain economic threshold the ability to subsidize the entire district as New York City elected to do. The long term stigmas associated with receiving government assistance prompted many students and families...

...INTRODUCTION A sandwich is a food item, typically consisting of two or more slices of bread with one or more fillings between them, or one slice of bread with a topping or toppings, commonly called an open sandwich. Sandwiches are a widely popular type of lunch food, typically taken to work or school, or picnics to be eaten as part of a packed lunch. They generally contain a combination of salad vegetables, meat, cheese, and a variety of sauces or savoury spreads. The bread can be used as it is, or it can be coated with any condiments to enhance flavour and texture. They are widely sold in restaurants and cafes. Bread has been eaten with any meat or vegetables since Neolithic times. For example, the ancient Jewish sage Hillel the Elder is said to have placed meat from the Paschal lamb and bitter herbs between two pieces of matzah (or flat, unleavened bread) during Passover. During the Middle Ages, thick slabs of coarse and usually stale bread, called "trenchers", were used as plates. After a meal, the food-soaked trencher was fed to a dog or to beggars, or eaten by the diner. Trenchers were the precursors of open-face sandwiches. The immediate cultural precursor with a direct connection to the English sandwich was to be found in the Netherlands of the 17th century, where the naturalist John Ray observed that in the taverns beef hung from the rafters "which they cut into thin slices and eat with bread and butter laying the slices upon the butter"— explanatory specifications...

...create the spicy miso broth (personal communication, February 10, 2015). This creation generated an open market for others to open up their own Japanese hot pot restaurant. The Shabu House location on Ocean Avenue is one of the smallest restaurants compared to its other locations. The maximum capacity of this restaurant is 65 people. Shabu House holds about twelve tables, five bar seats, and, if needed, may be transformed into a large table to accommodate larger groups. Shabu House uses every square inch of their restaurant efficiently. Every night 3 servers seat approximately 150 tables. The staff is required to be knowledgeable in their sake selection in order to generate sales. The restaurant is opened every day from 5pm-10pm and open for lunch Friday and Saturday from...

...One afternoon in the school lunch line, Jessica was thinking out loud. “Should I get the brussel sprouts, or the cheetos? I know the cheetos are delicious, but the brussel sprouts are healthier, i'll get those.” Childhood obesity is on the rise in the U.S and many people think that banning cafeterias from selling junk food is the best solution to this problem. However, Public schools should not ban the selling of unhealthy food in cafeterias because, kids will still find a way to get junk food. Plus, it could have a negative effect on the school, and junk food is not the only reason for childhood obesity. Banning junk food will not stop kids from getting their delicious treats. Many kids pack their lunch from home, and can bring whatever food they want. For one thing, kids could just go home and eat even more unhealthy food than they were getting at school, which could lead to even bigger and longer binges. Also, when people define junk food, something different comes to everyone's mind. Some people consider pizza and cheeseburgers junk food. Would they take these away too? I think it's good to allow yourself some pleasurable foods every once in awhile, just don't overdo it....

Breakfast meals varied from cinnamon rolls, to French toast, to burritos, to pizza bagels. Lunch consisted of burritos again, salads, chicken, burgers, macaroni and cheese, chili cheese and beans with crackers or tostadas. And again, any of those meals along with a carton of milk and a juice were only $2.50, of...

...As of today many students are having this issues which didn’t happen in the past which is now having diabetes, overweight, and obesity. It has been said that all over world that school lunch program are serving this healthy meals but in my school its different. Today Corcoran High School has a lunch program that is serving this reused, processed, and unknown ingredients. For this reason, I would like to propose the lunch program that their food are having us be in danger of being obese and having diabetes. For that, I propose the school board that the following changes should be made if the school intends to have a healthier school system and less students with diabetes and obesity. In the “New York Times”, by Lucy Komisar, she stated that “school lunch programs are using their food for unhealthy choices.” My essay will argue why this approach is better than what is currently taking place on our campus because issues such as homemade food, stop serving fatting foods, and unknown ingredient , will not be solved by simply serving unhealthy meals which is increasing obesity....
