My name is Sahil Sharma, and I have
been to Taylor for the past 2 years and I dislike the food that is served to
students at Taylor. This letter is on behalf of me and why I think the school
menu should be changed.
My first reason is that the school food is
really unhealthy and it is not nutrious. Around 12.5 million kids in
America that are from the ages of 2-19 are obese, and according to figures from
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Another 16 percent or so are
overweight and at risk of becoming obese. Obama said,” That for some students school food is the only
thing they get” so if it’s the only food they are going to get then why can’t
you improve it so it is healthier?
And at last third reason is that in the past three years, the
government has provided the nation’s schools with millions of pounds of beef
and chicken that wouldn’t meet the quality or safety standards of many
fast-food restaurants, from Jack in the Box and other burger places to chicken
chains such as KFC.
In conclusion I would like to state
that each year 53 million American student eat the food served at school.
School cafeterias violate a lot of school health issues. Because of this, this
is one of the main reasons why students in America get sick easily. And health
issues like diabetes, blood pressure and cardiac problems are rising in younger
kids. At last but not least I also want to mention that food poisonings is
common among school children. Proper food handling like
temperature setting would help to lower this incident.
Thank You
From, Sahil Sharma
