ReplyDelete1.Some schools are hesitant to drop the federal school lunch program, because they would not be able to afford those who have free or reduced lunches.

4.Chris Burkhardt is a food service director and he feels that the new federal food standards are a good thing, because they address childhood obesity.

3. According to the USDA only 146 schools have dropped the federal lunch program.
4. Chris Burkhardt is the food service director of the Lakota school district. He is considering dropping the program but right now it is not worth it economically. He doesn't agree with how even if a student doesn't want an apple they still have to take one even though its just going to be wasted.
5. I don't think they government should be able to control what schools serve and what the students eat. The government has no right to control what people eat, it is up to the student to make the right choices; to eat healthy or not and to deal with the consequences of their decision. People cant live their whole lives with the government telling them what to do, they have to learn to do make their own decisions.

5. The government should be able to control it to an extent. The states should have some leeway. For example, if they require fruits and vegetables it may be easier for a state like Alabama to get more local produce, while in NYC local produce may not be an option making foods more expensive. Lunch should be equal across the nation no matter the socioeconomics of the schools.

Karen Otts
ReplyDelete1. The schools are hesitant to drop out because the government is providing money for the schools in the programs and without the money they won’t be able to afford to pay for the students who have reduced or free lunches
2. the main evidence schools are using to justify dropping out of the program are children are required to get certain foods to meet the criteria and they are wasting money because most students are throwing the food away and are only eating what they want to eat
3. Approximately 146 schools have dropped out of the program
4. Chris Burkhardt is the Food Service Director. He feels that if they drop the federal lunch program it likely would raise prices even more.
5. In some cases yes, because they shouldn’t have only unhealthy foods in the lunchrooms because that’s what the students want, they should have a variety of both healthy foods and foods people want to eat but, I do disagree that students should have to have one of everything, that they should be able to eat what they want and not have a requirement of what they have to have on their plates.
Will Larsen
ReplyDelete1. They will lose the federal funding of 260,000, and some schools cannot afford to drop it.
2. They are seeing that a lot of their students are either bring lunches from home or not eating lunch at all because the students say the food tastes bad.
3. It says that 146 schools or .15% of the schools that took their survey have dropped the program.
4. He is a food service director and he thinks that the standards are a good thing to prevent childhood obesity.
5. If it is their money then yes. However since their is evidence that tax money that people pay are used to fund public schools, then each household at each school should have a vote. Personally I believe that you should just add a bit more of the ingredients you are excluding because of nutrition. This would allow for the food to edible and people would not bring lunches because their school would have food that tasted good. You see that private schools oftentimes have better food than public schools. This is because of the focus more on the actual taste than not going on a strict limit of nutrition.
Lizzie Walker
ReplyDelete1. They are hesitant because many schools have a high free/reduced lunch amount of students, and without funding they would not be able to afford the lunches for that many students.
2. They are using the fact that many gets are skipping lunch, getting fast food, or wasting food by throwing it away.
3. Around 146 schools have dropped the program.
4. He is the Food Service Director and he feels that the new standards are wasting food and money.
5. The government should be able to control what schools serve if they are providing the funding because they are the ones paying for it. If the school wants to fund lunch from their own budget, however, I think it is fair to allow them to cook whatever they want for lunch and have free control over it.
Jessica Lewis
ReplyDelete1. Some schools are hesitant to drop out because they might not have the money to provide lunches without the program.

4. Chris Burkhardt is a Food Service Director who feels the standards are not fair to students.
5. No. If a student decides to eat unhealthy foods, it's his/her problem. Students should be educated enough to make healthy choices without being forced to do so.
Tyler Poe
ReplyDelete1. The schools are hesitant to drop the federal lunch program because if they got rid of it then in turn they'd forfeit their federal school funding.

3. .15 percent or 146 schools have dropped the program
4. Chris Burkhardt is the Food Service Director and he believes that it will become negative to the economy on down the line
5. I believe there should be no interference between the government and the food served in schools. Students are generally active with their constant walking to and from classes. So the question is, why inhibit the calorie intake while kids still have the same time in class and go hungry through the day?
Angel Wynn
ReplyDelete1. The district would lose money.
2. Many kids aren't eating. Either they throw away their food, bring food from home, or don't eat at all.
3. 146 schools have dropped out of the program.

3.146 schools have dropped out of the program so far.
4.Burkhardt is the food service director. He believes that they are not a good economic choice, but the kids should have a choice eventually.
5.No. Students should have the right to choose what foods they want for lunch but allow the cafeteria to put a healthy twist on it.
Melody Ashcraft
ReplyDelete1. Some schools are hesitant to drop the federal school lunch program because they would lose money as a result of having a large percentage of the student population that qualify for free or reduced lunches.
2. Schools are saying that the kids are refusing the lunches and are going hungry. They are either buying it and throwing it away, or they are not buying it and the school is losing money.
3.146 schools have dropped the program.
4. Chris Burkhardt is the Food Service Director. He said that they have considered dropping the program every year because they see kids throwing food away.
5. I do not think the government should decide what schools serve in the lunchroom. If we are paying for it, it should at least be something we will eat.
Drew Forrester
ReplyDelete1st period
1.) Some schools are hesitant on dropping their federally funded lunches because their district wouldn't be able to afford buying lunch foods otherwise.
2.) Schools are using the fact that there are numerous amounts of kids throwing the fruits and vegetables away because they were forced to take one of each to justify their desire to drop the federally funded lunches.
3.) Only about .15% of schools surveyed had actually dropped out of the federal lunch funding program.
4.) Chris Burkhardt is the Food Service Director and feels that forcing the kids isn't going to make any progress.
5.) In my opinion, the government can't control all of what foods are served in the lunchrooms and definitely can't force people to take a fruit. It seemes cliché, but our basic rights play a role here. We have the choice of what we do and don't want to eat.
Addie Melchior
ReplyDelete1. The schools that were hesitant to drop the program were hesitant because they did not want to lose the federal funding.
2. The main evidence is that when the schools served healthy mandatory lunch, the kids would throw away the lunch or not even get it at all.
3. Out of the schools the US Department of Agriculture surveyed, 146 of them dropped the program.
4. Chris Burkhardt is the Food Service Director. He thinks that kids should be able to take what they think they will eat at lunch and not have to have a fruit or vegetable on their tray that they won't eat.
5. I do not think they should be able to control what schools serve because right now they are wasting money and that would not happen if they gave kids the freedom to choose what they want to eat.
Jordan Smalley
ReplyDelete1. they are hesitant to drop the program because of the indigent districts the school is in. also most of the students in the schools that wont drop the program have free or reduced lunches and they will buy them. if they dropped the program they wont have enough money to pay for any of the food.
2. that kids are not eating the food, they are throwing it away or not buying it at all which puts the school into a financial drop, instead of paying for textbooks they are paying for food that no one will eat.
3. 2,800 across the country, the number is also growing.
4. the food director of Lakota school, he feels like they should drop it and they have overlooked it every year, he feels like the kids should have the freedom to choose what they eat instead of forcing them to eat something that they don't want to.
5.No, because of my own experience I never eat from our lunchroom, I forget to pack my own lunch or don't have enough time to pack it. When I go hungry I am not able to focus and Im more worried about when I will be getting home to eat rather than worried about my schoolwork. I would like the freedom to choose what I want to eat instead of being forced to pay for something that I wont eat or not eat at all.
Kalee Jones
ReplyDelete1. Some schools are hesitant because of financial problems. They fear that there will not be enough money for food and textbooks.

4. Chris Burkhardt is the Food Service Director. He does not agree with the food standards, and the fact that kids are forced to get foods they do not want.

Abigail Long
ReplyDelete1. Some schools are hesitant to drop the lunch program because they would be unable to pay for the school lunches without federal assistance.
2. The main reason for schools dropping the program is because students are just throwing away the healthy food instead of eating it.
3. Approximately 146 schools of the ones surveyed have dropped the program but more stories of schools dropping it have surfaced.
4. He is the Food Service Director and he does not believe that students should take food they know that they are not going to eat, he believes it is wasteful.
5. No, from a students perspective i believe the government should not force students to eat a certain way, especially at a high school level students are aware of the unhealthy or healthy food choices they make and they should have the right to make those choices themselves.
Harrison Armour
ReplyDelete1. Because they do not want to lose federal funding.
2. Kids are not eating and the school is losing money because of it.
3. 146
4.He is a Food Service Director. He feels that they are a good thing, but would have liked some more time.
5. No, because students have no national representation or say in the matter, and they should at least have a voice.
Carrie-Grace Gardino
ReplyDelete1. Some schools are hesitant to drop the federal school lunch program because over half of their school population use the free and reduced lunch program, and they can not afford to drop it.
2. Many students are not eating the food being served and are either throwing the food away, bringing their own lunch, or not eating at all.
3. According to the US Department of Agriculture 146 schools have dropped the program due to stricter food standards.
4. Christ Burkhardt is the Food Service Director and said he has looked at dropping the program, but it does not make economic sense to drop the program right now. Many of his students throw away the food, which cost them money, but the students are required to take it the food that is served.
5. In my opinion, I do think the government should be able to control what schools serve, but not as strictly as they are right now. I believe that you should have to serve certain foods, but the students are not required to take it if they do not want it. Also, I think that if schools are noticing certain foods being thrown away they should offer other food choices to choose from.

2. Children are throwing away the food and not eating lunch.
3. About 146 schools dropped out of the program.
4. He is a Food Service Director, and he think the new federal food standards are unfair.
5. The government shouldn't be able to control what schools serve in the lunchroom because they're not being forced to eat things that they don't want to eat so why should they force others to eat healthy.
Sidnie O"Neal
ReplyDelete1. The school that is mentioned within the article suggests that the superintendent and many other administrators believe that the money they are spending on the "less pleasant" yet more healthy federal lunches is just a waste. They believe that instead of just throwing all of the money away, they could invest into more usable items such as textbooks and other classroom necessities while still providing the kids with a "more pleasant" lunch that requires junk food and unhealthy portions and items.
2. The schools are justifying their beliefs by applying that the kids won't eat the lunches provided or they decide to just throw away full portions. Some students will even go through the lunch line and say "I'm not going to eat that". The superintendent believes that this is wasting the money they are spending on these lunches.
3. According to the US Department of Agriculture 0.15 percent left the program.
4. Chris Burkhardt is the Food Service Director. He feels as if the program should stay so that it teaches kids to understand the value of healthy eating.
5. I do believe that the government should be able to control what schools serve in the lunchroom because the obesity rate in this country has sky rocketed in the last few years especially for younger adults. Because of this, students become more lethargic and lazy resulting in a decrease in grades and test scores because some students rather sleep or just sit at their desks due to laziness. I believe that if you want the freedom to bring whatever you desire, or if you do not like the school lunches then bring your own from home. For those students with reduced lunches and those who are unable to pack a lunch and bring it to school, stop complaining because there are people who are paying for your lunch instead of letting you starve.
Josh Smalley
ReplyDelete1. Some schools are scarred because they would might not have enough money to be able to allocate for their losses that would be suffering from not receiving federal funding
2. School Districts are saying that students are no longer eating lunch and are using alternative choices like eating out or bringing a lunch
3.Around 146 opted out
4.Food Service Director and he does not like them and deems them as unfair
5. No, I do not agree that the Government goes into the cafeteria business, those liberal crooks in Washington are already going into the Health Care Industry and forcing people into their flawed product (Which is Illegal). I believe that this serves proof that Michelle Obama fails at her job too, Just like her husband. Students should not be forced to eat carcinogen-like food, This is simply another bowl that the Government has stuck their hand into. And quite frankly I'm tired of the Liberal agenda trying to be shoved down the throats of American citizens.
Anna Williams
ReplyDelete1. Some school are afraid to drop the federal paid lunches because they will have to use their own money to pay for lunches and some can't afford that.
2. Schools are noticing that students are throwing there lunches away or not eating at all.
3. 146 schools have dropped out of the program due to the strict food standards.
4. Chris Burkhdart is the Food Service Director. He feels dropping the program does not make sense, that the schools should "Try to educate," the students on what to eat and to get them to stop throwing their food in the trash.
5. No, they should not be able to control what schools feed their students. First of all they do not serve food that looks appetizing and if this is a free country why can we not eat what we want. We all have control over our bodies, or we should, so therefore if we want to harm our bodies by putting unhealthy food in it we should be able to.
Shakira Kennedy
ReplyDelete1.Some schools are afraid to drop the program because they cant afford to forfeit the money.
2.The main evidence they are using to drop the program is that more students are throwing away food rather eating it because of how healthy it is.
3. According the US Department of Agriculture, 146 schools have dropped out of the program.
4.Chris Burkhardt is the Food Service Director and he feels that the program is unfair because they're forcing students to take vegetables they do not want.
5.Yes, because the government can still control what is served to a certain extent, but also keep in mind what kids like and pay attention to what we like opposed to what they try and force us to do.
1) Some schools don't want to drop the federal funding because the amount of money that is given to them to pay for the food the kids are eating at lunch.
ReplyDelete2) The evidence they are using is that kids are either 1) not eating lunch at all, 2) kids are bringing lunch from home, or 3)kids are getting there food from close by restaurants
3) 146 schools left the program says the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
4) Chris Burkhardt is the Food Service Director. He thinks the standards are a good idea because it is addressing and trying to prevent child obesity.
5) Yes, because child obesity is a major thing in this era that we are in. Trying to prevent it would be the best thing to do. So having a control of what goes in a lunchroom should be controlled by the government; but having good lunch ladies and cooks do need to be there too.

ReplyDelete1. They don't want to lose money from the lunch program, which would require them to dig money from elsewhere.
2. Kids are not eating the "healthy" meals because they do not taste very good.
3. 146 schools dropped the program.
4. He is the Food Service Director: he does not think the food standards are just.
5. The government, while trying to make childhood obesity rates decline, should not be able to control what types of lunches are served in schools nationwide, but rather should encourage other ways to remain in the normal BMI (Body Mass Index) range, such as exercise, which they are doing through multiples initiatives such as NFL Play 60 or LetsMove.gov. The government should be more "hands-off" in their approach on obesity in America today.

4. A food service director in Lakota. He thinks economically it doesn't make any sense and he knows it's going to be tough to change a mindset that's been around for years.
5. I think the government should be able to provide healthier lunches in the school but I don't think they should force you to take a fruit or vegetable if you eat lunch, I think it should be your choice but the option should be there.

5. I personally believe that the government should not be able to control what schools serve in the lunchroom because children are picky eaters. In their households they are forced by their parents to eat fruits and vegetables. Children should be allowed to eat what they choose at school.

ReplyDelete1. Certain school districts have higher poverty rates, allowing students to apply for free or reduced lunches. Schools like this are hesitant to drop the federal government program because these duct rictus cannot find themselves.
2. The main reason schools opt out of the federal government program is because students do not enjoy the food that is served under the government.
3. 146 schools dropped out of the federal lunch system
4. Chris Burkhardt, Food Service Director, says that this topic is present every year. Burkhardt does not favor the government lunches because he thinks it is not fair.
5. I agree and disagree. I agree that the health standard should be set high. A healthy meal keeps students focused, and nutritionally balanced. In contrast, at least one product with no calory limit should be served each day.

ReplyDelete1. They can not to lose the federal funding.
2.That kids are throwing away lunches or not eating at all.
3.About 146 schools or 0.15% have dropped the program.
4.He is the Food Service Director and he would like to drop the program but sees that it is not economically possible.
5.I think that they should not because nobody likes the food that they serve now. We only eat it because most of us don't eat breakfast and are so hungry by lunch time! The "a la carte" idea is also really good because not everyone always wants a fruit or vegetable.
1. Some schools are hesitant to drop the federal school lunch program because it can cause a financial problem and they could use the money they are entitled to.
ReplyDelete2. Food is getting thrown away and children aren't actually eating lunch or they bring a lunch and instead of a meal they will bring snacks.
3. Around 146 schools dropped the program due to the new, stricter food standards.
4. Chris Burkhardt is the Food Service Director and he believes that the new federal food standards are not fair.
5. No, I believe children should not be forced to eat things they do not like, they should be allowed to eat whatever they want as long as there are not medical problems being caused from what they are eating. If the food the child wants to eat is not making them sick or potentially harming their heath then I don't see the big deal about not letting them eat what they want.

3.146 schools have dropped out of the program or .15 percent because of the new standards.
4. The Food Service Director who finds the program is not economically smart and that the program can be wasteful.
5.No, I think that the school should not manage a child's obesity that they can manage that in their own time. Kids should have a right to choose what they eat, and make that decision on their own rather than being forced to get something they will waste.

ReplyDelete1. Schools are hesitant to drop the program because they cannot afford it.
2.The main evidence to drop the federal school lunch program is the kids not eating their lunch. Students buy their lunch and end up throwing half of it away in the trash can.
3.Fifteen percent of schools have dropped the program according to the US Department of Agriculture.
4.Chris Burkhardt is the Food Service director, and he agrees that the food should be healthy. Although he states that it is hard to change a mindset that is already engraved.
5. I do not think that the government should be able to control what is served in our lunchrooms. Each state is different culturally with the food that we eat. In the South we tend to fry more foods than up north. I do not believe it is fair because not every kid is going to eat health. The government is not guaranteed that every child is going to eat these healthier meals. By law we are required a school lunch, and i feel like with the healthier meals students are not eating; technically we are not getting a lunch. It is hard to start eating better when you have never ate well in the first place.

ReplyDelete1. The schools that are hesitant to drop the federal school lunch program are hesitant because if they don't get money from that program then they would have to pay for the lunches from their own money.
2. The main evidence that the schools are using to justify dropping the lunch program are the many complaints of the students and all of the food that adults find in the garbage that the kids don't eat.
3. 146
4. Burkhardt is the Food Service Director for Lakota in Butler county. He says, financially, that dropping the program just doesn't make sense for his district.
5. I think that the government should make two programs a) the same as the existing program where the schools don't get to choose what they have to eat b) the government should make another program where the schools get to choose what they want to eat but the government only gives 50% of the money that they give the people in the other program. With these two programs, each school district would get to either choose to save 50% more money on lunches but not get to choose what they get, or to spend the extra 50% on lunches to make their kids happier.

ReplyDelete1. Some schools are hesitant to drop the program because they can not afford to lose the federal reimbursement that they receive when they use the program.
2. The main evidence that schools are using to justify dropping the program is that more and more kids have stopped eating school lunches since the program began and schools lose money when kids do not eat school lunches.
3. According to the US Department of Agriculture, 146 schools have dropped the program due to the stricter food standards.
4. Chris Burkhardt is the Food Service Director and he feels that the standards are good because they address child obesity, but he thinks they were implemented incorrectly over time.
5. I believe that the government should have some control over what schools serve for lunch, but I do not think they should have complete control over what schools serve. In other words, I agree with the original restrictions for school lunches but not the newer stricter standards.
