Why is needed? 1) We looked around the community in our school and noticed the amount of fast-food restaurants versus healthy options in our neighboring community. We only found one eatery establishment offering healthy food options that most students in our school and community cannot afford or had not noticed. 2) According to the Heart Association, nearly 1 in 3 kids or teens in the U.S. are overweight or obese, nearly three times the number in 1963. 3) Students that are not eating healthy will have a harder time learning and retaining information. A 2002 research study conducted by Project Bread, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Harvard Medical School, show that children who eat a good breakfast every day learn better, behave better, and perform better in class than children who struggle with hunger. Food directly affects students’ health, learning, and lifetime wellness habits according to the Healthy Schools Campaign. Healthy kids have higher attendance rates, higher test scores and behave better in class. 4) Sometimes the only meals students have are at school. Low-income children rely on school meals for more than half of their daily nutrients and calories, these meals need to be of highest nutritional quality according to an investigation on how school food environments and practices affect dietary behaviors of US public school children. 5) We see our classmates eating chips (especially the spicy chips) for breakfast. Students are eating junk food and least likely to eat healthy if they do not know any difference. School meals are an opportunity to teach lifelong healthy eating habits. According to Project Bread introducing children to a wide range of healthy options during the thirteen years they spend in school, is an opportunity to affect a child’s health for years to come even through to adulthood. 6) Students complain about their PE classess and many we talked to were afraid of engaging in physical activity, especially running.
