Interview
The person who I had interviewed is Calvin:
• Q: Do you like our school lunch? Why or why not.
A: I don’t like our school lunch because it’s taste bad, not healthy
food and always same food.
• Q: Do you like school lunch in China better or in America?
A: I didn’t have school lunch in China, but I heard from my friend in
China that their school lunch is good.
• Q: Do you want to have outside lunch?
A: Yeah! Why not? That I wonder for a long time.
School lunch is not healthy for students
• “Nutrition is important it helps our bodies and brains grow and develop into the
way that they are supposed to. Schools claim that they offer the right nutrients in
foods. But according to an online study 15 percent of 13-15 year old girls are
obese and 14 percent of 13-15 year old boys are obese and schools can be at
blame for this epidemic. According to Physicians Committee for Responsible
Medicine and the Healthy School Lunch Campaign "school foods are too rich in
saturated fat and cholesterol." Schools claims that teens are better off getting a
lunch at school than to bring their own because they offer healthier choices but
according to a article that was written in the times about school lunches a
chocolate chip cookie that is sold at school has 300 calories. That’s about 1/8 of
the calories most people are supposed to have a day. The nachos that are also
offerd at school have 408 calories and that’s more than a third of our daily fat
allowance.”

The issue of school lunch
• However, it is very clear that offering students better lunch is very important as it promotes
academic, physical and social fitness in students at the same time reducing obesity rates. Benefits
of better school lunch. There are a lot of benefits that is associated with the provision of better
school lunch which meet all the nutritional standards as opposed to one which does not. The
provision of better school lunch has several advantages that provide the student with the ability
to school and excel in every sphere of their life. With better lunch being offered in schools, it is
less likely that students will be given food which has high levels of starch and fat. The food offered
will therefore ensure that students are not exposed to obesity can be of great harm to them. Acs
et al (2007) confirm that nutritious food versus non-nutritious food has become a determinant
factor regarding the attainment of good health and reduction of obesity. Reduction of obesity is
thus achievable through the use of better lunch which has all the requirement nutrients in it. In
this way, student will be able to participate well in their school activities and program without the
fear of the body size. It has been found that obese student undergo a stigma that tends to make
them isolate themselves from other students while in school (Poppendieck, 2008).
