School campus lunch is disgusting because it is all slobbery and it is not made homemade. It is not even fresh! The food is so bitter from coming from the freezer and when you take a bite, it feels hard like a rock where it just can break your teeth. The food is so bland it does not taste like anything and one time I found a piece of hair on my food that was obviously not mine. The food is so fake to the point where it is not even made properly. The hamburgers are literally deformed.
The food is really hot from overheating it and then students burn their mouth which is so painful! School lunch is really intriguing since foreign objects are found. The Summit staff must think we are animals to eat this kind of food. School lunch is a controversial topic because the Summit Shasta staff is getting complaints from students that the food is not appetizing which is discouraging them from eating. Students believe that Summit Shasta should allow students to decide what they want to eat.
Students with eating disorders would benefit from this because what every their problem is they will find food that they can eat that would not cause them any health symptoms. If the students want to go for a healthier option or just want to buy snacks from vending machines or eat at a fast food establishment or restaurant, they should be allowed to make that decision. Students need to learn how to be responsible due to the fact that one day these teenagers will be adults and they will have to do stuff on their own that is why if Summit Shasta students were given this opportunity it would help them excel in the future.
Students are not eating their lunches which leads to decreased academic performance in the classroom. In order to id students productivity, students should be allowed to eat lunch off-campus. If students are allowed to eat lunch off campus, they will be able to concentrate better during PLT and project time because students are not eating due to the fact that students choices of food are limited. Additionally, this would aid the local economy due to the fact that students are purchasing goods from the businesses in Daly City.
If we do not develop good eating habits at this impressionable time in our lives, then we will lack these necessary skills for the future. One eason our school, Summit Shasta, needs to have off-campus school lunch is because students will focus better in class because eating food helps boost students’ metabolism. In 2017 the article Healthy Kids Eat Better, The Alliance for a Healthier Generation found that students should have access to healthy foods throughout the day for they can get proper nutrition in order to succeed.
The article Healthy Kids Eat Better states that “Kids who eat healthier and move more perform better in school. Studies show that healthy kids get better grades, attend school more often and behave better in class. We now know hat making time for physical activity and nutrition in school is not a break from academics; it’s an investment in higher academic performance” (American Heart Association).
Allowing off campus lunch involves physical activity since students are getting exercise as they are walking to a certain food establishment. Students would be able to eat food during lunch time and to exercise, which will improve students academic performance in class, help them complete more work. Giving students permission to have off campus gives students a break from the school environment and a chance for them to get fresh ir and stretch since they have been sitting down for long periods of time.
Even though lunch on school campus has a basketball court and an area where to walk sometimes students want to go somewhere new which is why students at Summit Shasta should be allowed to have off-campus lunch. In addition to aiding a healthier lifestyle. The article Health And Academic Achievement did research from many references and they witnessed the students behavior and actions after eating nutritional food and they realized that it reduced negative behaviors.
The article Health And Academic Achievement states Student participation in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) School Breakfast Program (SBP) is associated with increased academic grades and standardized test scores, reduced absenteeism, and improved cognitive performance (e. g. , memory)” (Psychiatric Bulletin Page 2). Students who eat during lunch time increase their academic performance however this article Health And Academic Achievement talks about eating breakfast not lunch.
No matter if you are eating breakfast, lunch or dinner this still applies to improve your lifestyle especially at school or work. In conclusion eating in general is really important such as it impacts your everyday life for example your health and academic performance. Another reason that Summit Shasta should allow students to have off- campus lunch is because students are limited by food choices during lunch time. Therefore students are not interested buying school food and that is a concern that students are not eating lunch.
The article Health And Academic Achievement lists the effects that may occur if you do not eat during lunch time. The article Health and Academic Achievement states “Hunger due to nsufficient food intake is associated with lower grades, higher rates of absenteeism, repeating a grade, and an inability to focus among students. “If students do not eat they will lose the ability to succeed in their work. Students are prone to distractions which lowers their grade because it causes short attention span due to the lack of food in the body.
Skipping a meal has its consequences that can impact your education and prevent you from reaching your goal of getting stuff done. Furthermore to succeeding in school and work. The University of Washington of Public Health Nutritional Sciences Program ublished an article in March 2015 that stated, “In all schools, the vast majority of students placed the recommended amount of food from each food group on their lunch tray, however, on average, students wasted 70% of vegetables, 50% of fruits, 39% of protein, 20% of starches, 38% of grains, and 55% of dairy. Many students acquire food but end up getting rid of it because it is not appealing. Students rather have more options to choose from. Since Summit Shasta does not have a variety of lunchtime foods students want to be able pick up their own lunch with their friends. Students are provided with healthy options at school such as carrots but the way it is put together is not appealing. Due to students not eating during lunchtime students are constantly complaining that they have hunger pains and are prone to distracting their classmates.
In conclusion students are wasting food since students are limited on options but to buy what is available. However students do not find the food good enough to consume. if students had the opportunity to go buy food that is appealing to them it will benefit their academic and health performance which is why Summit Shasta hould allow students to have off-campus lunch. Additionally, eating lunch off-campus helps contribute to boost the economy as people purchase food.
In a 2009 article from the Washington Post, Jane Black investigated that every time local food establishments exchange money from consumers when people buy food it helps increase the business’s income. The Economics Of Local Food states “Local food strengthens the economy. It keeps money in local communities and helps create jobs, which in turn can help reduce crime. “During lunch time students who would leave campus to purchase food would be contributing to he economy.
As the economy keeps increasing, managers would need to hire more staff which would help people with poverty by creating new job opportunities. keeps increasing, managers would need to hire more staff which would help people with poverty by creating new job opportunities. Finally this leads to expansion of new local businesses. In a 2016 article The Economic Benefits of Buying Local studies on how buying locally helps boost the economy and helps to circulate money throughout each local business which helps with the creation of new jobs.
