...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...

...Lunch Dilemma | Advanced Composition | Ramon Hernandez | The Midday Meal Dilemma For many years, students, employees and mothers alike have experienced the daily dilemma of what to do for lunch. Most people in the United States are in a hurry for a midday meal that is appealing, nutritious, inexpensive and easy all-around. Bring lunch? Buy lunch? Skip lunch? For certain, this is a daily quandary. The quest to eat healthfully and economically is as current today as it always has been. To meet all criteria for the affordable, portable lunch, planning ahead and shopping accordingly solves the dilemma and reduces costs while satisfying both nutrition and satisfaction; planning for a five day work or school week is a worthwhile investment. Today’s economy has surely put pressure on this dilemma. In the working world, people frequently go out for lunch or run down to a food truck. In an attempt to save money, many people have realized that the costs of eating out may outweigh the ease and allure of buying lunch each day. Reeling in out-of-pocket expenses has become a necessary trend and people are more often than not making and bringing their lunches each day, investing in lunch containers, shopping for groceries and in general doing more cooking at home. Planning this meal helps to keep costs under control and also helps to plan and prepare other meals as well. For students, the challenge may be that they do not have lockers to store lunch containers, so they are forced...

...Do You Want Longer Lunch? Are you tired of having stomach aches after lunch from having to eat too fast? Trust me I know you are I feel your pain. I have had to throw away my food one time before I could finish it so having a short lunch is wasting money. So I think we should have a longer lunch! I will tell you why in the next paragraph’s. One reason is, Most average schools have 30 minutes for lunch but we only have 25 minutes and we don’t have recess after or anything. So it’s kinda like our only break besides 5 minutes between classes. And you might only have 10 minutes to eat by the time you sit down somewhere. Another reason is, When I did my research I found that even 30 minutes is to short for lunch. And here at SJMS we only have...

...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...

...One school rule that the principal should change is allowing students to leave campus for lunch because the school food can have a lot of of grease and sugar and could get a student sick. Students can get sick from school food because the lunch ladies does not know what the food came from or have inside. Many students in the world get sick of the food because the food might not be cook right and raw. Or the lunch ladies could still cook the food even though it could be bad.

The recent changes in the breakfast and lunch programs to improve nutrition and health have had an economic impact on individuals, have served much of the population, and there are many benefits of the change. The recent changes in the breakfast and lunch programs to improve nutrition and health have had an economic impact on individuals. Economically, the United States has been through a recession, which has caused difficulties for a lot of families trying to keep up with life’s necessities, food being one of them. By making changes to the breakfast and lunch programs at schools, more children are afforded the opportunity of having meals at schools.

...Luckily, there are many healthy lunch ideas for kids and a good majority of them do not require moms to spend an hour cooking in the kitchen or busy buying rare vegetables at the Sunday grocery store. To give kids a boost, here is a look at some healthy lunch ideas for kids: Kids are always hyper active and at a young age they need an extra dose of healthy snacks and meals to provide the energy they need. Without healthy kids snacks and lunches they'll quickly get exhausted, feel stressed both physically and emotionally, and they'll quickly lose their fuel to stay up and active. #1 BLTA Wraps You can't go wrong with bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, and avocados. Properly prepared bacon is very healthy because of its high content of protein but for...

...Is School Lunch Really That Bad? During my early school years, the school lunch was very tasty, but not always healthy. In my younger years there was no act for nutrients at school, then later our present president made it a law to where all schools have to make the food healthier. I noticed the food was not as tasty as it used to be. School lunch will never be the same, but I still like the school’s food anyway. School lunch can be good for certain things; it is good for our health. Pizza, before the act our president made, was full of grease and fat, now there is less grease and little fat. Yet the trash cans are overflowing with untouched food now because people do not like that there is not fat or grease. Unlike me, who tends not...

...Lunch school programs are trying to become healthier across our nation. This initiative is becoming more common at each school due to economic and student needs. In this paper, we will look at meeting the needs of the students with a planned process. There will be two charts to show progress of the effects the changes have done to the student’s food choices. These choices were derived from the guides given by the USDA (“National School Lunch Program”, 2013). Recent changes to the schools lunch and breakfast menus has helped in keeping students more healthy and driving school cost to more efficient levels (“National School Lunch Program”, 2013). Most schools give students choices to choose their lunch or breakfast choices. While this is a common practice in most schools, students do not always choose healthy meals. The goal is to give only healthy choices to students so that they may increase their nutrition level intake. The guidelines set forth by the USDA, on the student meal index, is what will be used to assess the changes in students nutrition levels (Kay & Condon, 2012 pg 9). The first major change that needs to be done is re-asses the snack machines in the schools. Each school more than likely has one or two snack machines that are accessed by the students. The contents of the snack machines need to be changed to more health conscious items. An example is replacing sodas, or high sugar drinks, with water and low sugar juices. Each school needs to replace candy...

...2.1 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...
