Time+Increase+For+Lunch

By Conner Hendrick Kids in America are becoming more obese. Part of it is because kids are not having enough time for lunch. So that is why I think Middle School kids are not having enough time for lunch. So we need to make it longer. Schools, basically, have some epic nutritional problems as well as obesity, eating their food to fast, and wasting their food.

Instead of the countries minimum amount of lunchtime being 20 minutes, it’s actually 30 minutes. The average right now is 20 minutes, less then the minimum. One chart shows that kids are getting two minutes less every year, so in ten years, we won’t even have lunch! Well, we are wasting more food then you can imagine. In the long run, middle school kids waste as much as we eat. That’s not helping global warming either, so face it America, we don’t want this, do we? Kids are refusing more and more food, and just throwing it away.

In addition to that INCREDIBLE news, kids are more obese because of the lack of nutritional value, and kids have a shorter life span because of this. That makes America look bad people, atrocious really. Middle School kids have no choice, because the school is feeding them crap, chemicals and frozen imitation gruel, well, maybe not that bad. The food doesn’t even taste that good either. Gross food is gross for the body(most likely). The kids wouldn’t be able to play sports and excel in life if the were obese because of this. Instead, kids are scarfing down on pizza and fake Mac n’ cheese.

In the long run, the most important reason is because kids are hurrying their food. More and more kids are choking and eat so fast that their little bodies don’t know what to do with the food. Then the kids go frolic outside for half an hour, what a waste of time, why can’t we eat outside and enjoy lunch for an hour or so? Use that extra recess time to eat, I’m not here to solve the problem, YOU are, America. Kids just eat the sweets, which just sit in their miniscule bellies and rot. They hurry their food because they want to talk with friends, as if they have any time anyways.

So let’s face it, kids truly don’t have enough time to eat and digest, and that is part of the reason why kids are becoming more obese. Kids also don’t have enough time to eat or even finish their food, and that is a major problem. It would make some people live a lot longer and they would be able to eat their food without choking. Kids are also doing worse in class because of this, and adults don’t realize this, and that doesn’t make any sense. So we have to step up and face it America, kids and adults, elders and teens, c’mon! So we have to fix this problem together!!!
