-------------------- 征得宝的同意,附上原文。 June 2013 Dear Principal Mrs. Boyce and Vice Principal Mrs. Duarte,
When you receive this letter, we may not be attending Stocklmeir anymore, but our love for the school that helped us grow and learn for six years hasn't faded. We hope that we can make a difference for the future students by improving the hot lunches. From the childrens' and parents' point of view some things that would help if they are improved are: unhealthy food choices, small portions, and hot lunch price.
First of all, some of the hot lunch choices are unhealthy. For example, the kids have a choice between an apple and cookie. Most kids will choose the cookie against the apple. This adds to America’s already rising obesity rate. Making these types of decisions are what we want to solve, but a little treat once in awhile is good. Holiday cookies, yogurt, etc. can be in the menu occasionally. Fruits and veggies must be fresh and sweet to make them tempting and better than sugary foods like cookies. Putting in a little twist to the menu can help the childrens taste healthy, nourishing foods that help them develop and grow. Eating the proper and filling foods is a great help in supporting their academic achievement and help our school’s rating. Also, many parents don’t let their children get hot lunch because it has too much oil and grease in it. With healthier foods, more parents will allow their children to get hot lunch, raising the profit.
In addition to bad choices, another problem leading up to this hot lunch crisis is the portion of food each child is given. Sometimes the students are left with an empty stomach after lunch and cannot focus on their class work or not put as much effort as they should. Many students rely on the lunch to fill them up until 6 or7 pm. If they don't get enough to eat, they might complain to their parent and bring their own meal instead.
Money is a large factor in school hot lunches. If they are too expensive, then no one will buy them. But if they are too cheap, the foods are not as fresh and are lower quality. It is important that the prices are just right, and they are worth their nutritious is why some parents do not let their students get hot lunch; the foods are not healthy enough for the price of $2.75 for milk, a main course, and two or more side dishes. More students will buy more hot lunches because their parents approve of it and the school will make more money too. Another recommendation is to grow an orchard for fruits. Also, the school can grow veggies in the garden instead of flowers, and put the fresh into the lunches.
Though fresh produce is not as cheap as processed foods, and adding more food costs more money, improving the hot lunches will make the school a happier, healthier community. Overall, we, five Stocklmeir students, think that the hot lunches can be improved to raise customer satisfaction. The fattening, tiny, and overpriced foods,replaced with nutritious, filling, and reasonably priced foods for everyday lunches. If these requests were fulfilled, it would make lunchtime a more joyous place
