...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...

...master, assistant head master, teachers and students. I'm delighted to have the honour to be here on this special event The School Entrepreneurship Day. It is my privilege to stand here and share with you about “Why Breakfast Is The Most Important Meal of The Day?” How many of you want to be healthy? How many of you find it a challenge to eat healthily because you are always running late!When I was a kid, my mom always told me that breakfast was the most important meal of the day. It turns out she was right. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, not just for nutritional benefits, but for mental benefits as well, and there is no excuse not to eat it. You would be shocked at how many people skip their first meal. According to Adirondack Sports and Fitness, nearly one fifth of adults don't eat at all in the morning and many students don't eat breakfast either. Twenty percent of elementary students skip breakfast and sixty percent of students ages between 9 to 15 skip breakfast. A lot of people, especially children, go through the day without having breakfast. Many people believe that it is not necessary, or they say that they are not hungry or don’t have time for that and begin their day with no meal. I believe that everyone especially children should eat breakfast before going to school. The purpose of this talk is to show the importance of breakfast, especially for school children. Studies show that eating breakfast everyday is important in maintaining a healthy...

...Foreign Literature According to Susan Markel M.D. (2008) that a child’s brain would not able to function well without all of the nine necessary amino acids with a diet that is well balanced. Feeding breakfast, lunch, and two healthy snacks a day to the children in an outreach program would make them learn so much more when their minds were not alert on their stomach alone. It was stated in an article that there are factors are inclined with overweight that can influence the child’s readiness to learn and achievement. “Children’s basic nutritional and fitness needs are met and they attain higher achievement levels”. According to this article if children who are not nutritious during in their brain’s formative years score lower in the areas of vocabulary, reading comprehension, arithmetic and general knowledge. When fasting in morning it would have a negative effect on the cognitive performance even if the children are healthy and well-nourished. Proper nutrition has positive effects in enhancing academic performance. It relieves hunger as well as it improves the school performance of the students. It also increases the math and reading skills and student behavior.

...attract teens into participating because it is a quick and easy way of getting detailed replies. We also decided to use observation as our second research method in order to see how many student within our college actually made time for breakfast. All the results we collected were counted up and tallied and placed in graphs that showed us that the majority of students skip breakfast because they spend their time travelling to college. In our literacy research we used the Internet to search for information that relates to our research project ‘Teenagers and breakfast before college’, which is a form of secondary research. I found that using the Internet helped me find information on the importance of breakfast, as the information was detailed and straightforward. I felt that reading books didn’t give me the information I was looking for as it has already been researched and written about, besides it only spoke about specific facts as I was searching for ‘Teenagers and breakfast before college’. Questionnaires are a set of written questions, which allows an individual to make their own choice of answers. The main purposes of questionnaires are for statistical studies or surveys. This relates to our chosen topic because we have our own statistical study of why we feel teenagers in our college skip breakfast and what the majority of them do when they reach the college’s canteen. In order to get results and turn them into graphs (statistical) we must get a...

Consider the following introductory paragraphs, written for a nutrition class (the title and author’s name have been changed: 1) Should students eat breakfast? by Richard Lee You may wonder if all meals are created equal. I used to too. A lot of people, especially young people, go through the day without having breakfast. Many people believe that it is not necessary, or they say that they don’t have time for that, and begin their day with no meal. I now believe that everyone should eat breakfast before going to their activities. The purpose of this paper is to show the importance of breakfast, especially for students. One reason for eating breakfast is because you need food for to do well in your classes. Your body and your brain are not going to function as well as they could without breakfast because you will have no energy and no strength. When you try to learn something and have nothing in your stomach, you are going to have a lot of trouble succeeding. Now compare the above with the following introduction from a peer-reviewed scientific article published in 2010:...

There is evidence that school breakfast and lunch programs are not up to par with current United States Department of Agriculture standards and that USDA standards may not be utilizing the latest research about nutrition. Studies have shown that proper nutrition has a direct effect on student performance and behavior in school. Much of the literature I reviewed confirmed that nutrition has a direct effect on neurotransmitters which are important in sending messages from the body to the brain. Specific dietary components were shown to have negative effects on this system, many of which are...
