NLC 1301, Blog Post 5: 10/31/2013

     In this generation, most people at one point, want to dine in to something delicious and fast. The problem with that is, people have to eat in moderation when it comes to semi-unhealthy meals. With school and parents working, it is sometimes hard to find time to cook a hearty meal that is also good for you.
Since students from kindergarten to twelfth grade have an advantage in school to consume a healthy meal, they should take it, not alter it. Typical lunch meals include vegetables, proteins, and vitamin milks.
     Relating to this, removing soda, ice cream, and other junk food should be banned from school vending machines. During school lunch, every student of all ages should receive a healthy, nutritious meal. I don't believe a person should add a bag of takis, kettle chips,or rice crispies, which has over 200 calories in 1 bar to that meal. Eating these junk foods not only is bad for you, but it defiets the whole purpose of a attempt to eat a nutritious meal. Many teenagers, including myself, will still eat junk foods daily. I just believe that, we should take a time out of the day to have a good, nutritious meal if we know we will consume "McDonalds" or "Original Lays Chips" later that day.
