What’s for Lunch?
Marcia Amidon Lusted
Zachary Maxwell was tired of trying to explain to his parents why he wanted to bring lunch to school instead of eating hot lunch. They couldn’t understand why he didn’t want to eat the gourmet food described on the school’s online menu, which sounded both nutritious and interesting. Zachary just couldn’t convince them that the food wasn’t as great as it sounded. So in the fall of 2011, he began sneaking a small video camera into the cafeteria at his school, to show his parents what the lunches were really like. Six months and 75 school lunches later, Zachary made a documentary film about his lunch called Yuck: A 4th Grader’s Short Documentary About School Lunch.
Truth in Advertising?
"The city’s Department of Education says that it’s committed to providing ‘delicious and nutritious meals’ through their food service program. But the lunch being served at my school was nothing like what they were advertising on their web site," Zachary, now 11, says in the documentary’s trailer. "I told [my parents] that’s not what they were actually serving me," he said. "But I don’t think they believed me." For example, an "oven-baked pizza bagel with tricolor salad" was really nothing more than a slice of pizza and a wisp of lettuce. Sometimes there was no connection between the menu and what Zachary actually got. "Cheesy lasagna rolls with tomato basil sauce, roasted spinach with garlic and herbs" was, in reality, just a plastic-wrapped grilled cheese sandwich, all alone on a foam plate.
"When I came back home and showed them the footage, they were like, ugh!" Zachary said. His dad, an amateur filmmaker, started helping Zachary transform his video footage into a film. It won several awards, and Zachary also made appearances on television shows like Good Morning America.
Not Perfect, But Better
Let’s face it: many times school lunches just aren’t going to taste as good as they sound. Students also complain that with lunches that follow the new school lunch guidelines, there just isn’t enough food. Smaller portions, more fruits and veggies, and fewer calories leave some kids, especially teenagers, still hungry after eating their lunch. A group of students in Kansas even wrote a music video called "We Are Hungry," where they sing about their stomachs growling after lunch and how they’re collapsing on the sports field because they haven’t eaten enough.
However, the new federal lunch guidelines do mandate meals that are better for students, with less sodium, more whole grains, fewer calories, and more fruits and vegetables, as well as skim or 1 percent milk. These are a definite improvement over school lunches of not that many years ago, which once stuck with fare like burgers, French fries, and chicken nuggets. Some schools even allowed fast food outlets like McDonald’s and Pizza Hut to operate mini-restaurants in their cafeterias, or supply their products for students. Many schools have also reconsidered vending machines filled with sugary sodas, candy, and chips, replacing them with water and healthy snacks.
The Lunch Forecast
The new school lunches are designed to help students eat better, and combat health problems like obesity in kids. Ideally, a healthy school lunch should also taste good ... or at least as good as the description on the menu. It should also keep students from taking a trip to the vending machine or a nearby convenience store as soon as lunch is over, because they’re still hungry. But will the lunches served in your cafeteria ever taste as good as a fast food burger or a gourmet meal cooked at home? You be the judge.
In the text, the author keeps it interesting and engaging whilst telling you a silly story. Her overall goal in writing this was to inform you; the story of Zachary, what schools are doing now for lunches, and what they should do. There is a hint of persuasion in the text as well, in which she goes over the changes schools should make in their cafeterias. An example from the text shows this persuasion, "Ideally, a healthy school lunch should also taste good ... or at least as good as the description on the menu." She does an excellent job in doing this as well, painting a vivid picture for the audience as well as keeping you engaged.
While reading try. What the writer will say as a way of becoming involved in the reading
Answer:
predict
Explanation:
is it right....
The groundwater system can heat the air in the school because the groundwater is warmer
than the air in the school. This means that the molecules in the water have a higher average
kinetic energy than the molecules in the air. When the molecules collide, energy will transfer
from the water to the air, warming the air. This will happen even though the groundwater isn't
all that hot. As long as it is warmer than the air, it will heat the air
Answer: The groundwater system will heat the school more because it uses so much more water than the other system, even though its water is not as warm as in the other system. For things at the same temperature, the thing with more molecules has more total kinetic energy (thermal energy) than the thing with fewer molecules.
Despite the fact that the water used by the groundwater system is not as hot as that used by the other system, because it uses so much more water than that system, the school will be heated more.
What does the groundwater system mean?Every body of water that is directly in contact with the ground or subsoil and is present below the ground's surface in the saturated zone is referred to as groundwater.
The saturated zone is the region where water has accumulated in every fissure in the rock, every crevice between rock grains, and every area of the soil.
Water slowly travels toward lower-lying areas after entering an aquifer, where it finally emerges through springs, seeps into streams, or is pumped out of the earth by wells.
Under pressure, groundwater in aquifers between layers of impermeable rock, such clay or shale, may become restricted.

Explanation:
the young oysters got ready quickly and neatly what does that tell about them
Answer: Excitable and Eager for adventure.
Explanation:
This question relates to the poem recited to Alice when she was in the world beyond the mirror titled, ''The Walrus and the Carpenter''.
In it, a walrus and a carpenter trick oysters into taking a walk with them and then ate them. They tricked them by inviting them for a walk and talk and the oysters horridly agreed and got ready.
This shows that they were excitable characters who were eager for an adventure just like little children.
Write a Personal Narrative that tells the story of an important personal experience. Choose an experience that relates to a news event, or something of wider importance in the world.
Like most people around the world, I had all my plans hindered by the proliferation of coronavirus and the need to stay indoors until it was safe to do my activities again.
This situation made me very sad, because I saw time passing by and my life was not moving forward, my plans were not being realized and my goals were not being reached and I have no deadline that could solve these problems.
In addition to sadness and uncertainty, insecurity overwhelmed me and the fear that I would never have the chance to resume my life and make up for lost time.
This was the biggest experience I had and the most difficult, because I had to learn to deal with my darkest thoughts, without presenting a palpable hope for myself, but having to keep myself healthy, in order to get through this.
Although these thoughts still appear in my daily life, I have learned, with help, to live with them and accept them as something unreal and that is not part of my reality, but they are creations of my conscience in response to the moment of stress that we are living . I believe that I will have good results and that I will be able to beat them soon.
