Food for the Future

We can all remember waiting for Friday’s to get our rectangular shaped piece of pizza just like it says in the article We call all remember waiting for lunch on Friday’s and get our rectangular shaped piece of pizza just like the article Editorial: Texas moving wrong direction on school lunches, so it's up to the feds, “That time gave way to the age of the french fry and the vending machine in the cafeteria. Pizza Fridays became pizza every day. And if kids washed it all down with a can of soda, well, at least they were eating their lunch.”

The audience that is obviously being targeted is the group of parents who send their children to school where they buy a lunch there every day. Parents send their children to school all day and expect that they are being educated well and taken care of-meals included. Also, voters who vote for these laws are being targeted. At the end of the article the author lists a few reasons why the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act should be supported. All very good, healthy reasons.

The author is trying to get the readers to see their point of view, which is to massively support the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act. The author gives many good reasons why you as a reader should support this Act and vote for it. The way it is written it makes you feel almost a little guilty for not being aware of such a thing and that you should want to change this ASAP. The author uses statistics to show how much the food for lunch has changed the weight in youth across America, and uses Dallas as a prime example as what the rest of the country should aim for.

I can completely see what the author is getting at in fact, I pretty much agree with what they are saying. I would agree that the foods that are being put into your body should be healthy choices that are beneficial for healthy growth. Our bodies at such young ages need the nutrients and proteins and the vitamins that healthy foods provides for us.
