Well I think that an way we could eat healthier is by one serving lunches that aren't half frozen. Another is maybe by giving us more time to eat our lunch so we don't feel rushed to eat
"They already know the rules: sit down and take your time, because food is serious business." This is crazy. "Food is serious business"? Since when? I think obestity may be helped if we did this but I think that it has something to do with those certain people, not where they live or how long they have to eat. I'm not obese and I eat alot. I think it has more to do with the U.S. does exersice or walk as much as France. That's my thoughts.
I think this article made alot of great points. For instance, the whole banning snack machines from school grounds and teaching kids that when they come to a table that's when they can be fed. That's teaching them to be proportional and not to over due such nasty US food chain habits. We gotta face the facts that America is falling down the tubes rapidly with our laziness. Maybe we should stop complaining about how bad Americans physic is and actully start doing somthing about it. In my opinion the French are setting pretty great examples and ideas out there. -Charlotte Greer (AKA Macartney Greer)
I think that they are eating healthy and we could do that but they focus alot on what they eat and not what their childern are doing in school.I think that we should have more time to eat and we could stop being lazy and we should take are time and not quickly stuff are faces and go back to class.
I agree with them when they bann snack machines from school. However I don't think that food should be called "serious business", you sit at a table and eat. Also I agree with you H13H I think that it seems like the parents are more focused on there childs eating habits than they are there school work. There are some things I like ,like they eat healthy and dont eat the same food over and over every week and eat healthier than the US but i dont like that they think food is so serious... Juliette W.
Of course food is serious! I hate stuffing my face when I'm "hungry". Unless I'm really really hungry. :} But thats just my opinion. I mean, I view food differently than most people, so I think I would prefer this. {You should be in my mind when I eat steak:} But the whole thing of getting upset when the child goes to his house for lunch?! I mean really if a parent wants to eat lunch with their 3 year old then let them!!! I gotta say that I don't really know why they would want this... Hey though I sure wish our food was good like that. School food sucks. That's why I always make myself a sandwich! {And a very nice one at that... usually} :} I really agree with liveforever by the way. {Jaineba Phelps}
I think we should have more time to eat lunches,so during lunch we don't stuff our faces with the little time we have to eat trying to finish our food.Most of our food is frozen and just recooked which also can't be as healthy so they should offer more choices that are healthier.Even so,food isn't so much as "serious buisness" but is still important. (Chelea Hitzler)
I don't think food is as big as a deal as French people make it out to be. The food the little kids are eating, is stuff I wouldn't eat now. Though I agree with having more time, and banning pop and snack machines at school. It definitely would help with obesity here in America.
Yeah, i mean really, whats the point of all the extra snack machines and stuff? really, its school. we dont need all the extra stuff. we come to school to learn not eat.
I think that we should be allowed to have more time at lunch because we eat dont get enough time to eat our food. Also, I think that the snack machines and the frozen foods should be replaced. Most of the foods are unhealthy and should be changed.
I like food. It is good. But I don't think that it is that big of a deal as French people pretend it is. And I don't think that they should have banned the pop and snack machines from the schools. That's just mean.
I think there should be a lot of different lunch periods where you can eat when you are hungry. That's what you are supposed to do, right? I also think that there should be a lot more variety in the lunch food. I don't think it is healthy to eat the same thing every week. I also think that the lunch periods should be longer because it seems that we are rushing ourselves.
I completely agree with everyone else. The reason french people are relatively healthy is because they dont have to rush to eat their food. Also when they sit down to eat, they have a variety of different foods.
And we wonder why Americans are "bigger boned" than other countrys. If we took the time to have more fun we friends outside then maybe we would be "smaller boned." I wonder what are food is really made. What we are really putting in our bodies.
I THINK FOOD IS GOOD AND IT SHOULD BE EATIN EVERY WHERE.AND I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE POP SO KIDS SHOULD HAVE ICE COLD DRINKS AFTER SCHOOL.I THINK THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO EAT AT A TABLE I MEAN HAVENT YOU EVR HEARD OF THOSE PORTABLE HOT POCKET BUNS WITH CHEESE AND HAM AND STUFF OH MAN NOW IM HUNGY.THIS IS WHAT I HAVE TOP SAY ABOUT THIS.
I wish we can do this, there food sounds way healthier than our lunches that we eat. Two things I think we should have for our lunches are grilled asparagus and some atlantic salmon. Those will be very healthy for us. We should do this more often but with different healthy foods.
I completely agree with what koobisntcool01 was saying!! I understand that they are trying to do a good thing and trying to cut down obesity.. And I'm all for that.. But that doesn't mean that they can just dictate what the parents want their kids to do!!..But their lunches are 100% better than ours!!.. ours suck!! :D ha
I think that we could improve our school lunches by replacing a lot of the unhealthy foods with snacks that could help improve our health. We have so many foods that aren't good for are bodies more than we have the healthy foods. Are school lunches should also be extended because it seems as if we have to stuff are faces and not get to take are time. We could try to avoid or lower the amount of obesity in America by persuading people to at least try something healthy. people make their own decisions...
people in america are fat. they need to stop eating so much crap!If we had healthier school lunches and no vending machines we could be healthier people! i think that we need a longer time to eat too. ~Juliette Behrmann~
Their food sounds so much better than ours we have here at school, most of our foods here are unhealthy. Also, I totally agree with LeAnn about food becoming "serious buisness." It's crazy!
I agree. I think that vending machines should be banned from schools because it would prevent needless eating. I am confused though, since when has food become "serious business"? Not everybody has a kitchen big enough for their family to eat in though. Sometimes you just want to sit down and relax while eating dinner. I think we should replace our lunches with healthier food, but make it food that actually tastes good. Our pizza tastes like cardboard and our hamburgers can bounce sometimes. This is kind of making me want to move to France sometimes.
Ok well banning vending machines if a little over board. Why ban them if they are not operational or not able to get to them during school hours.If at was at an after school event maybe i would get it. But during our lunch hours we can not get to them. so why ban them if half the school a year does not get to use it. It is there just incase some one does not want to drink water out of a fountain and the drink has a little more flavor than water. We should also have better school lunches. Why do we never have a hot lunch. the portions are very small too sometimes. We could have a more healthy foods. So i think we are going a little over board when they say banning vending machines would help when they don't affect at least half the people at school. and yes healthier food would be nice
