...Business 100 The School board changed the breakfast and lunch programs to help improve nutrition and health of our children. The changes so far seem to be for the best of all the children. There are four major issue dealing with the changes are, economic situations, Health of population being served, process, and the benefits of the program. One of the four major issues is economic situation. The federal government will add six more cents to each lunch to make it meet the new standards. New standards took effect in 2011 for schools breakfast and lunch programs. Also parents are in charge of what their children eat, but kids are in the care of the school a good portion of their life too. From my research on this program, children receive up to half there calories at school in form of school breakfast, lunches, and snacks.( Crawford, 2011) Also with the economic downturn we have been in advocates have proposed some changes, which makes more children eligible for free or assistants on meal prices. Meanwhile, meal providers are having issues with covering program costs. Improving the quality of meals for children is essential, but the hard part is getting the students on board with all the health good food and not all the greasy unhealthy foods. Second issue is the heath of the population being served. There are about 25 million kids that are obese and/or overweight. Obesity rates have skyrocketed by 300% over the last 30 years. (Crawford, 2011) An analysis in 2005 found that...

...Pack-iTS would be a healthy lunch preparation and delivery service, serving elementary schools within the Thames Valley District School Board in London, Ontario. The six-person partnership had$25,000 to invest, but needed to know if additional financing would be required. The Pack-iTS lunch program would provide flexibility for parents and children. Parents would select from a variety of menu options, as well as the regularity. The lunches would be prepared and assembled at a Pack-iTS facility. The lunches would then be marked with the teacher’s name and put into a container for delivery. A consideration for the partners was to position the program as a fundraising initiative, where a portion of the gross sales would be donated to the school. The main objective of Pack-iTS is to promote healthy eating habits and reduce parental stress associated with planning. According to results from a Canadian Community Health Survey, obesity rates among children and adults had increased substantially during the past 25 years. In 1979, three percent of children aged two to 17 were obese. By 2004, eight percent were obese. The partners were looking to gain useful business experience that would help them decide on their future careers. The constraints that were established early on were that all six students would remain full-time students. Because of this, all six girls would limit their involvement to approximately 10 hours per week. Industry Analysis- Porter’s Five Forces ...

... Businesses have a tough enough time making it in this economy. “The policy is that kids aren't allowed to use businesses as a hangout,” as said by Kayleen Schaefer. They don’t need people turning their loyal customers away. Most adults spend more money than teens do. According to the Business Analysis for a restaurant in July and and in October, “ patrons were 80% adults in July and 73% minors in the month of October.” It is stating that during the school month adult patrons haven't been going to because of teenagers being present. While students are on vacation adult patrons take advantage of the time and go have a quiet lunch. Some businesses have made major changes to their business strategies. After identifying a decrease in profits during the school months, Mr. Jones realize that many of his faithful, adult, wealthier, customers mostly business people from the offices that surround his restaurant downtown we're staying away from his business due to the havoc high school students cause every day at lunch. Therefore, he proclaimed the hours between noon and 3 PM “quiet lunch” time, during which students will be banned from the premises. Having those teens out during lunch hours will help businesses tremendously by increasing revenue. Therefore, that is why businesses should have the...

...receive free lunches.” Fig. A USDA (2011) Mortazavi (2011). Millions of children across the United States depend on a well balanced breakfast and lunch. Not only do these meals fuel the body, but it also fuels the minds to enhance comprehension and retaining what they learn. “For many, especially students from lower-income families enrolled in federally subsidized free and reduced-price lunch programs, these are the main meals of the day.” Grainger, Senauer, and Runge (2007). Revamping the National School Lunch program will help meet economic goal, provide healthier choices for pre-school, elementary and high school children across the nation. In 1966 the Child Nutrition Act (CNA) was passed to create a milk program, breakfast program, government funding to start the program and a preschool program (Mortazavi, 2011). Apart of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966, it had to be approved every five years, most recent being scheduled for 2009 but was passed for one year to introduce the current 2010 Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act and the Farm Bill which President Obama signed in December 2010 Fig. B. Somodevilla (2010) (Mortazavi, 2011). This act was introduce to do two things, provide kids sufficient calories and consumes surplus commodities. “The HHFKA makes positive changes to existing legislation. Notably, it increases funding for the School Lunch Program, allows the USDA to regulate competitive foods, requires the USDA's nutritional guidelines be grounded in...

...their health, especially during school lunch. Schools lunches normally consist of quick and easy options like pizza, chips, soda, etc., all foods that when eaten regularly can lead to serious health problems. Children are prone to these eating habits everywhere and have learned from school. It’s for reasons like this that obesity in children has doubled in the last 25 years. What was once known, as Adult-Onset Diabetes is now common within our youth and caused from childhood obesity. An article from USATOADAY titled “Unhealthy Risks for Kids Tip Scale” explains this, also going into detail about the debate between enforcing healthy lunches for students and keeping junk food in schools. Though fattening foods may be easily prepared, is the timing really worth the lives of our kids? Could a healthier diet at school make for a healthier lifestyle? These questions need answers. Let us begin. In order to get something accomplished, you must involve the government. An article from the Washington Post titled “Junk Food Widely Available at U.S Elementary Schools Despite Anti- Obesity Push” explains this and how federal regulation is necessary in order to enforce healthier school lunches. With childhood obesity increasing, more people are witnessing the epidemic and wanting an end to it. A study by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation highlights this and describes their proposal that would set standards for nutrition and food/beverages sold in schools. To begin the process of finding...

...School Breakfast and Lunch Programs The Positive Effects on Students and Families The topic of concern that I am going to address is how school breakfast and lunch programs impact the family in various ways. School meal programs, especially breakfast programs, have gotten a significant amount of attention in recent years due to the many studies that have shown the benefits of having these programs. These studies have shown that students who participate in school breakfast programs have better nutrition, less hunger, more food security, better performance in school, and the program could even improve the likelihood that students will eat breakfast on a regular basis (Bartfeld & Ryu, 2011). School breakfast and lunch programs are moving toward having a 100% participation rate, because when students who participated in the programs were analyzed and compared with the non-participation students, results showed significant differences in the categories listed above. (Moffitt, 1995). Being a Dietetics student, I am extremely aware of the importance of nutritious school meal programs because children spend most of their habit-forming years in school. Students need to develop positive breakfast and lunch choices in order to develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle in the future. As I briefly stated before, there have been studies done to compare the students who participate in school breakfast and lunch programs with the students who choose not to. The findings indicated that...

...Education in the late 1970’s Andrea R. Ferrari Professor Josephine Sarvis Dominican University April 19, 2016 Abstract This paper highlights key features of the development of education at Dominican University comparing 1970’s to today, focusing on how Dominican has been through changes such as name and diversity as well as the overall education during the latest 1970’s. This analysis is based off of an interview and has comparisons to today’s schooling system based off of historical events. Keywords: Education Education in the late 1970’s For my oral history interview I chose to interview my soon to be father in-law about his experience in the late 70’s. The reason I decided to interview him was because he had attended Dominican University back when it was Rosary College and I figured it would be great to see how different the school is now vs back then. During my interview I got to know a lot more about the person I was interviewing as well as their experience in school and the overall experience to education in the 70s’. Throughout this interview I’ve come to notice a couple of things that really stood out to me and one of those would the diversity of students in the 70’s was lacking, although segregation ended it was like there was still and unwritten form of one. Another thing that caught my attention was the advanced in technology from the 70’s to today, it may not seem like much but when compared to how that applies and effects the education systems it’s...

...that on-time graduation rates are still low (Stetser, 2014). Many studies have been conducted to identify the factors that contribute to the high school dropout rate. One of the factors that has been identified is the success or lack of success in Algebra 1. Some educational professionals have proposed that an earlier exposure to Algebra 1 in middle school could assist students with being more successful in high school. Thus those students would have a greater chance of graduating with their cohort and possibly even being accepted into a post-secondary school. This action research project studied the correlation between the use of graphic organizers and concept...

...After an analysis of my 3 days food journal, I believe it represents well my habitual eating habits. For instance, on the weekend I am often waking up later, so I habitually eat a breakfast that is more like a dinner than an actual breakfast and eat snacks as dinner. This reality shows up in my food journal. Moreover, on school days, I often do not take the time to make a full lunch, so I often complete or buy my lunch at the cafeteria or at restaurant. Indeed, in the food journal we can see that I went to the cafeteria purchase foods the two-week days. Another realization with the food journal is that I noticed that on the weekend I do not drink coffee while on the week days I drink coffee. In addition, I do not skipped meals during the food...

...Social Analysis Report Children Obesity Mengtong Huang Holly Lachapelle Jung Ohyeon Professor Fidaa Shehada Global Citizenship (GNED500204) Due date: December 3, 2015 Introduction of children abesity and connected with GNED 500(by Holly Lachapelle) The topic of our social analysis is child obesity. As far as we know, childhood obesity is becoming a growing epidemic in the modern world. According to Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, “The percentage of children aged 6–11 years in the United States who were obese increased from 7% in 1980 to nearly 18% in 2012. Similarly, the percentage of adolescents aged 12–19 years who were obese increased from 5% to nearly 21% over the same period.” (Ogden,2012) These numbers are concerning because childhood obesity leads to long term health risks including diabetes, heart disease and many cancers. As our society becomes increasingly technologically driven, our youth are becoming less and less physically active. Today’s children are more likely to send a friend a text rather than run over to their house and “call on them”. Modern conveniences and entertainment such as videogames, television, the internet, facebook and kid-friendly fast food joints play a major role in the growing rate of childhood obesity. Currently there are many efforts being made to slow down or reverse the negative effects of living in modern day society for our children. Some of these attempts include increased awareness about nutrition and...
