Persuasive Speech On Open Campus Lunches

“Between 300 and 500 students are eligible for off- campus lunch at one school “(Good Grades 13). Most students drive with friends or drive to go get food, which puts them at risk for danger. Even though off-campus lunch offers more nutritional options, schools should not offer this because leaving campus can lead to danger, and students gain the opportunity to ditch class and make bad decisions. Students should not be able to leave school for lunch for their own safety. According to Linda Saslow, “Concerns of pedestrian and vehicular safety and the misuse of free time, including drug and alcohol use, have prompted a campaign by parents in the district to close the campus” (3).

As you know, numerous schools sell junk food at lunch. Students may enjoy a sweet treat during the school day, but others are thinking differently, that the junk food should be kicked out and replaced with healthier foods. Even though a healthier lunch program would be expensive and take some time to get used to, schools should use it. Providing students unhealthy foods can lead to obesity, it can cause early unhealthy habits; and students should have enough time to eat these healthy foods at lunch. The surplus of junk food available to students in public schools has the potential to lead to a high rate of obesity in youth which can have very many negative effects on students physical health.

A shorter lunch time can be like binge eating for some people. You eat breakfast in the morning then you go to class and you become really hungry. Then you eat really fast at lunch and become hungry again at the end of the day. This causes your food levels to go up up and down when the are supposed to stay steady, which causes you to take in fat and can also cause a more intense binge eating diet. Also if you have a shorter lunch then you 're most likely to eat something fast like fast food or very quick unhealthy food.

Sure many people such as Michelle Obama have tried to reform the school lunch menu, but the schools don’t seem to follow the regulations posted. The quality and nutrition of lunch at Lawton Community Schools, and many other schools, needs to be improved. With recent changes been made to the nutritional standards in school lunches, it seems that schools are increasing nutrition, but decreasing quality. “A recent USA Today investigation found that the nation’s largest fast-food chains have higher quality and safety standards for the meat … than what the U.S. Department of Agriculture has for the meat used for the National School Lunch Program...” (Buffenbarger). The food we serve our kids across the country has regulations, but all in the wrong places.

Right now there is a lot of buzz going around about whether fast food should be sold in schools. There are reasons for both sides of the argument, but the strongest and best side is that fast food should not be sold in schools. The three main reasons why fast food should not be allowed in school is fast food is one of the main reasons for obesity, fast food is not sanitary and safe, and kids need to make healthy choices young. Fast food is one of the biggest reasons for obesity. Obesity can lead to death, and fast food leads to obesity.

The obesity and our society Obesity is one of the most common problem in our society. This problem can cause some disease in our life. Most of the people like to eat fast-food.

It is because they don’t have more option than go and eat fast-food after they get out school or college, due the lack of food in their house.

Renner incorporates suspenseful and depressing music to bring attention to the fact that obesity can have a negative impact on a child’s life. For example, the US government spends 51 million marketing healthy eating to kids while the food industry spends 1.6 billion on ads promoting foods high in calories and low in nutrition to kids. When this fact was presented, the drums made the audience’s heart race as it shows how many high calorie foods restaurants hold. This is done to reveal how fast food places are fooling customers into buying their foods. Second, Renner includes calming music when showing children that are engaging in physical activity.

Teenage employment has become one of the biggest reasons to why teenagers drop out of high schools and develop a different kind of habits. This statement is really big for there is a lot of a teenager's life when he can lose his focus. The author has encouraged this idea that student who work at fast food restaurants like McDonalds they are more likely to lose their focus since they have now every reason to avoid studies.
