Most students in New York school loves free lunch I know I do!the pizza, the burgers the chicken the spaghetti and meat balls students love it all but do we know where it comes from who makes it and what kind of people are handling the food behind the doors of the cafeteria that we consume into our bodies.In a article written last year by CBS news states that "McDonald's and other fast food chains may have gotten rid of "pink
slime" from its burgers, but the gooey sounding chemical treatment that
removes bacteria from meat is popping up elsewhere: Kids' school
lunches."The government seems like they're not doing much to make sure that what we put into our bodies is safe or clean, putting young children and teens at risk.I'm pretty sure you didn't know that did you on top of that some student have to pay for school lunch as high as a dollar $1.50 are they paying for their death,why should students pay for something that is harmful to their body!the government needs to step in up don't you think?

First off school lunches are disgusting, and it isn't kosher either. The food should be feed to dogs & they probably would even deny it. School lunch is the way it is because we are only students so I guess they figure were too young to tell when we run into nasty food or maybe because they don't care if we eat but some change needs to occur because its unbearable. Also if the lunch isn't a hazard then why don't teachers eat it. They either buy lunch or they have a teachers lounge. We have no student's lounge and we can't get food delivered so its as if were forced to eat the nasty food.
ReplyDeleteHow can we get our school lunch improved a strike on school lunch maybe?

DeleteFirst off, I'd like to see what article you read to get this information. Secondly, I agree with you, it's sick that something like the lunch at school can actually hurt you. My question is, is there any indication on how the chemical's are getting into school food? We already know the area where the food is prepared isn't sanitary from the article we read in Government. And not to mention that the food is actually pretty unhealthy and that needs to be changed too. The government should make it more of a priority to make the food healthy when "Thirty-five percent of U.S. kids are overweight or obese, according to the Yale Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity."

Deletei totally agree with your post because i have my own personal experience with school lunch of actually getting sick. Now that you given me more information on the extra ''ingredient'' in the school pretty chance i wouldn't want to eat it by any chance or feed it to my children. But thing i could say that is good about ''free free'' is that its good for the kids who aren't able to get a meal outside of school because of lack of income. According to http://www.letsmove.gov/healthy-schools it states that more than 32 million children participating in the National School Lunch Program and more than 12 million participating in the School Breakfast Program. This explains that more students are eating lunch day by day.

ReplyDeleteI entirely agree with you. I am most in agreement with the fact that students in NYC public schools pay for a "meal" that does more harm than it does good. There is no reason that anyone should unknowingly pay for poison while under the impression that they are ingesting something that they entrusted their government to distribute to them. I am not even appalled by the "pink slime" that is in the meat. It's not okay but the saddest part is that this is a known fact!! Yet and still, IT STILL EXISTS IN THE SCHOOL LUNCH MEATS!! It "is being brought in by the tons for the nation's school lunch program," according to the article "Pink Slime For School Lunch: Government Buying 7 Million Pounds Of Ammonia-Treated Meat For Meals" found on http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/05/pink-slime-for-school-lun_n_1322325.html

ReplyDeleteWhat do you suppose the government should do about this?
ReplyDeleteI agree with your thesis statement because based on my own personal experience prior this exhibition I knew that children like myself would rather remain ignorant to the fact that our food isn’t healthy. However, after reading your paper on the affect of children being unaware of what they’re eating and there is a bacteria called “pinkslime” appearing in the school lunch I was completely astonished. School lunch are meant to stimulate the minds of our children to help them have a productive day, but if the lunches aren’t healthy then what are we accomplishing? According to the washingtonpost.com Elizabeth Flock wrote about the Government is buying 7 million pounds worth of pink slime. In the article Flock wrote, “When McDonald’s and other fast-food chains announced last month that the infamous “pink slime” was no longer being used in their burgers, some thought the ammonium hydroxide-treated beef cuts had disappeared from our food supply once and for all.... But a new report in the Daily tablet newspaper suggests the slime will appear in school lunches this spring — 7 million pounds of it.” This is actually really scary because school is suppose to be a safe environment but to find out that even our lunch isn’t safe then what is?
Question : Why is the government buying pinkslime if it isn’t healthy?
First of all YUCK!! I think it's disgusting that this filler, commonly called pink slime, has sneaked it's way into school lunches. During the un-break that our school had we took a tour of the school kitchen and the kitchen manager told us that the filler put in meat is for vitamins because kids don't really eat the vegetables or drink the milk given to them. The USDA-AMS [Agricultural Marketing Service] does allow for the inclusion of BPI Boneless Lean Beef in the ground beef they procure for all their federal food programs and, according to federal labeling requirements, it is not a raw material that is uniquely labeled...The USDA says that no more than 15 percent of each serving will consist of pink slime" (CBS news). Lisa have you ever thought that maybe people are just turned off by the idea of boneless lean beef? Is anything really wrong with it? It can't be all bad if kids have been eating it and surviving right? Chew on that.

I agree with you. Why are students paying money for school when it can get us sick. The government should stop bringing pink slime to the our school !I wonder if they think about our health. I have read that the government brings 7 million pounds of pink slime in the food we eat. "Between 2005 and 2009, E. coli was found three times and salmonella 48 times, according to the Times, including two contaminated batches of 27,000 pounds of meat." The government needs to really step up on that !
