2. The Problem
The food that we are served now In the cafeteria is run by
overpowered corporations and they are telling the school
what they can buy and what they can serve.
This is not healthy most of the time because the
corporations are just worried about how to feed people
more efficiently and cheaper than how healthy the food is
for the students.
This has to change because the obesity rates are going up
and they are not about to change at the rate we are going.
3. The Food
The food is high in fats and low in protein and
essential nutrients that we actually need.
It is bland and not appetizing most days which does
not make kids want to eat this food.
These school lunches could not only make kids eat
healthier at school but influence them to make better
choices in life as well.
4. My Solution
My solution is to home cook the meals and stop
feeding kids sugar packed food that is addicting and
making corporations money because if we starve
them for money they will be forced to change or go
out of business.
The money is not an issue if we get this government
approved and not rely on corporations within the
government to feed our kids unhealthy fat packed
foods.
5. My Solution Cont.
This would not be easy to do because government is
always looking for ways to cut their budget due to
their horrible money management skills and their
enormous debt to other countries.
I don’t think the government should be able to say
what kids eat at school because their parents are
paying the taxes on the school to operate.
6. The New Food
The food that I suggested would be high in nutrients that
we need and low in fats and oils.
The food should be home made from scratch, the only
reason the schools don’t do it is because the workers don’t
want to.
This new policy would require the workers to start earlier
shifts and actually work more which is not that bad.
But they are so used to not working that this is not an
option to most of them which is sad.
7. The New Food Cont.
We should have fresh fruit and vegetables everyday.
We should almost never see fried food or greasy food.
We should bake more and use low fat oil for cooking.
We should have fresh bread for sandwiches.
No more slushies or sugar packed drinks.
Water and all natural fruit juice as well as sports drinks
should be the only options unless they bring their own.
12. Conclusion
This should be implemented to save our future youth
of America from heart disease and obesity.
This is a growing epidemic and should be taken
seriously.
