Happy Meal

Most parents don’t even know what is given to their child for lunch. The simple fact that it is free makes them happy. This problem is a major issue for the health of children and students because most of them will eat chips and candy instead. Apparently, the government only focuses on its economy and not on the heath of its citizens. As long as they are making money, they are happy. They rather make money and have children suffering of obesity and diabetes then putting the economy at risk. As…

These regulations were put in place to ensure the wellbeing of all students. One guidance counselor at BRMS, Mr. Tesch, believes the new idea is “not a change from the children's regular diet.” If students aren’t greatly changing how their day to day meal routine goes, there’s no risk of…

Food is our common ground, a universal experience. -James Beard Growing up a meal at the dinner table was something that was always guaranteed to bring my family together. Everyone in my household had a very busy schedule. Whether it be soccer practice, basketball games, my parents working long hours, and mountains of homework that even as a small child I would receive on a nightly basis. Dinner was something I could always look forward to. It didn't matter if it was 4pm or 9:30 at night, my…

Breakfast isn’t referred to as being the most important meal of the day because supermarkets and restaurants are looking to sell more oatmeal or pancakes, it is called the most important meal of the day because that is exactly what it is. Most of us will eat, or perhaps take a casein protein shake, and will go to bed around one hour later, where we will hopefully sleep for around 8 hours. That means that, as soon as we wake up, we will have gone for around 9 hours with no food whatsoever, we…

a cultural influence I would have to say I eat an American influence because of how our society is built around the fast food industry. I say this because I can’t cook so when my wife is working I tend to go straight to somewhere I can just buy a meal, that being fast food. I wish I could say my family history of diabetes and gout would influence how I eat but it doesn’t. Though it is something I really need to consider as I get…

Pathos Pathos, is a persuasive quality that provokes pity or sadness. It is uses in many ads, newspapers, magazines, etc. to demonstrate positive and negative emotions, such as frustration, anger, love, or respect. My advertisement of my choice, goes above and beyond to set a thought provoking scene, that seems to lift your spirit, while also making you tear up a little. This emotional technique makes the advertisement hit home, and relates with everyone’s life, and family matters. This…

Schools are reducing fried foods, fat, calories and sugar content; and increasing the amount of fruits and vegetables in school lunches. Although this sounds like a great way to fight childhood obesity it might not give Americans the result that we are all hoping for. School lunches are supposed to be healthy, nutritious, and filling, but they aren’t. Due to the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act students aren’t getting enough nutritious food on their trays. Lunches are not filling. Most high school…

Dear diary: The Hunger Games are coming really soon and I'm afraid that Katniss,will get chosen as a female tribute this year. As I'm writing this she's out with Gale hunting for today's meals, I hope they are able to catch a good supper for tonight. I might get milk from Lady and make some cheese and afterwards when Gale and Katniss comes back, I will give them the milk and cheese to trade at the Hob. I don't like the fact that the Capitol put each district into poverty. Why can't they use…

resourceful, these are the attributes that define me. These attributes are heavily influenced from my experiences and habits with food. A few of my eating habits consists of drowning my meals in hot sauce, reviewing the nutrition facts if available before digging in, and multi-tasking while eating. Drowning my meals in hot sauce, I didn’t always like it. I’m a competitive person due to my childhood. It all started back in third grade. Boys during at the time were often obsessed with proving…

food the schools serve. Another issue is the amount that they are serving. I know you have to have enough for everyone but what are they doing with the leftovers? Throwing them away right? Wasting Food? Wasting Money? Breakfast is the most important meal of the day we all were told. However, if the students do not eat then they will most likely do not so good in school. Food gives us energy and the students are not getting any…
