As LUC students, we are very fortunate to have food readily available to us in the dining halls. The food options off campus around LUC are minimal, so it is ideal to have halls on campus that have different foods to choose from. These halls have many different problems surrounding the specific dining experience though, which affects current and prospective students, faculty, and staff. A recent article from the Phoenix reports that the hygiene of the dining hall employees has room for improvement. A student claimed, “he saw dining hall workers go out for a cigarette and come straight back to serving food” (Beckford 1). There have been reports of bugs in the salad bar and mold in the icemakers. Also, the dining halls have received lower levels on food inspections due to temperature problems that could potentially affect anyone who eats there. Although there were reports of roaches at the University of Chicago in 2012, which is worse than any reports at LUC, it is still very important that LUC works to improve the hygiene at their dining halls (Beckford 2).…
How would a student feel if they knew that the USDA allowed the school to provide meals which could make them unhealthy, or even sick? Lunch, as most know, is a very important part of a student’s school day. The food eaten at lunch should provide enough energy to complete the school day as a focused, learning student, and, for some students, to get through after school activities such as athletics and clubs; however, it is being seen more and more often that this is not the case. Chatham County Schools needs to improve its school lunches because the quantity, quality, and cost ratios are inadequate for the success of their students.…

Could you ever imagine going to a school where you wouldn't have to worry about your well being at times?

Exigence: Reports have begun showing up in media accounts of campaigns to reform school lunches. The ‘food police’ have been reported that they want to get rid of sodas and fast foods in schools.…
First, students are not buying these new, healthier lunches because they cannot enjoy them. The lunches from before and the lunches now are so drastically different from before they find it hard to eat. Whether because it’s because of the cooks not being able to make them work or it’s the food itself. These lunches are not being sold. Something must be done or majority of students will either eat home lunches or simply not eat at all, which is bad for their health and will hurt them.…
Did you know that majority of the high schools in California have an open campus lunch. They also get to eat at any restaurant they would like to. Every 3 and 5 high school students complain about what they get served at school. According to Southland College Prep High School students, “ they feel that they don’t have many options to choose from, and that they don’t get fed enough to last their whole 10 hour school day. Letting high school students have an open campus lunch will benefit them in various ways. Students can have a choice of the food they want, also when students leave and come back it shows maturity, last but not least is to show students how college is going to be.…
Lastly, the new school standards are a good idea. Keeping kids healthy and happy is what the cooks would rather do. Not everyone may like the school changes, but you need to keep kids from obtaining diseases, help them try new foods, and try to get them to intake more fruits and vegetables. If you don’t like it, do not blame the cooks, or better yet, don’t eat it. Do you think new school lunches are a good…
Many students push for an open campus lunch to enjoy with their friends. They would like to go eat at a fast food restaurant or even swing by home and say hello to mom or dad. But they have to stay at school and either not eat or eat the ever degrading school food. Starting open campus lunches gives many benefits such as an increase in student happiness, less money needing to be spent on food and electricity by the school, and even lunch running smooth with the decrease in student populous.…
July 5th, 1776 - Our continental congress has officially declared independence from Great Britain yesterday. It is with great sorrow as we read the document written by Thomas Jefferson, 33 years of age, yesterday. A frequent reader of this newspaper would know our strong anti-independence opinion. To elaborate, our protection was highly thought of as Great Britain has the most superior military of our world. Our own security has now been made vulnerable with this declaration. Our now independent country could be ambushed by the savage indians. The crown will no longer be able to give us weapons to defend. As the writer of this newspaper, it is with great fear that we may lose many lives as the colonies attempt to defeat our strong, powerful Britain.…
I’m very sorry that I must do this, but you basically brought us to this. The School lunches are Disgusting! It tastes like it came out of the trash can! I mean it even looks like it’s a piece of trash! I doubt you would know because you and the other staff members of the school get fancy meals! This is an outrage and all of the other students of FHMS agree with me! Also, why would you charge us 2.00 dollars for a lunch! That is ridiculous for this piece of trash! That is why all of the students attending FHMS are going to stop purchasing lunches! Face it, you brought this upon yourself! If you weren’t so cheap and bought us good, tasty, and quality lunches we may have kept purchasing your lunches!…
This low-quality food is why many students would rather not eat. Cedric Bonsol, a junior who attends Bravo high school in Los Angeles said, “’Sometimes, I don't eat because I don't like it’" (Lin). This school meals are not up to par, and that is why so many students do eat the school provided lunches. If the schools started serving better quality food than what they are serving now, more students would likely begin to participate in the National School Lunch…
It is not just this but students are not getting healthy food. We need to get rid of processed food and get organic meals. Most schools are only serving foods that can just be heated up and the served to students. We need to regulate what kids eat they can't be eating a cupcake just for lunch.” The meals can be healthy and still have a good taste to it the cafeteria management of all participating schools open their sources and stop the heat and serve method .…
Throughout the years there have been many significant speeches in regards to freedom of Americans. Two examples are: “I have a Dream” by Martin Luther King about civil rights and equality, and “Toward a More Perfect Union,” by Senator Barack Obama. The baseline of these great speeches is The Declaration of Independence, by Thomas Jefferson and the Continental Congress, and “The Gettysburg Address,” by President Abraham Lincoln. Both speeches are the same when the speeches refer to human rights and the belief that “all men are created equal” (Declaration of Independence, 2011), in 1863 the Americans are engaged in a Civil War. President Lincoln speech was about abolishing slavery, and the “proposition that all men are created equal” (The Gettysburg Address, 2011). However, they are also different because the Gettysburg address did not address a tyrant like King George II, as the Continental Congress and rebellious Americans were fighting for independence to have their own government.…
“Frozen burger patties from California 's Don Lee Farms serve schoolchildren in Fairfax County, Va., and are composed of 26 different ingredients, most of them unpronounceable for the average consumer" (Zhao).We as adults must take note of what is being fed to our children during lunch because the regulations some of these schools have do not regulate some of these unknown substances. Our futures are at stake here, the young kids of today are our future and if we do not take some initiative and help them with this growing epidemic than there is no future to look forward to. Overweight children and adolescents are more likely to be overweight or obese adults and more likely to suffer early heart disease and death. (Gardener) If this problem is not solved when the kids are young, then they are not going to be healthy adults. In the United States, federal statistics estimate that 9 million adolescents (17 percent of the population) are overweight and 80 percent of overweight adolescents grow up to be obese adults. Childhood obesity rates have tripled since 1970. (Gardener) The epidemic of obesity can only be fixed if we educate the public. I also feel that this problem can be resolved by developing a new lunch program. It would be helpful if the federal government helped out. “The reimbursement rate for a reduced-price lunch is $2.17 and 24 cents for a paid meal.…
In 2010, Michelle Obama’s Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act (HHFKA) was passed. The act was passed in order to make school lunches healthier and provide food for kids that can’t afford food or don’t receive food at home. Since the HHFKA was passed, school lunches have been undesirable, displeasing, and unsatisfactory. For instance, in the article ‘No Appetite for Good-for-You School Lunches’, student Malik Barrows claims how “before, there was no taste and no flavor. Now there’s no taste, no flavor and it’s healthy, which makes it taste even worse”. If the healthy food was exceptional quality the students wouldn’t have the mindset that all healthy food is distasteful. Students all over agree that the lunches are substandard and no one wants to buy them.…
