Cafeteria FoodBy: Digna Patel, Jessica Kusner, Chris Perchinske, and Sean Smith

Introduction

•Most students in high school complain about the cafeteria food. They don't like the food that they serve or they just have never buy lunch, they have always packed lunch throughout their schooling. 

•Most arguments are that the food served is over priced and not healthy. But some are that the students just simply don't like the food.   

•Some also say that cafeteria food serves more unhealthy food than healthy food. 

Summarizing the Group Findings

There were many different ideas that our group found on Cafeteria Food. We had articles, data, and videos on: • The rising cost of lunch in the cafeteria • How healthy are the school lunches• Looking into Solon High Schools own cafeteria • A pole of students on how much they buy or pack

lunch• An interview with the cafeteria ladies • Comparing cafeteria food to fast food chains.

    

Group Thesis

•Although cafeteria food is approved to be sufficient for high school students, portions are

smaller and the food sometimes is less than edible.  

Cafeteria Food vs. Fast Food  http://woodridge.patch.com/articles/video-how-district-68-cafeteria-food-compares-with-its-fast-food-counterparts#video-5742309 This video explains that how the cafeteria food has more nutritions, less calories, and healthier while Mc Donald's, Papa John's, and Subway's  sandwiches contains more calories, less healthier, and expensive. It also compares the ingredients of the cafeteria food and the fast food chain's food and the result shows preferring the cafeteria food.    The Rhetorical Strategies:1. Exposition-it analyze information by presenting an idea of preferring cafeteria food than fast food chain's food.2. Analogies-draws a comparison between cafeteria food vs. fast food.                                          

 

Pole of the Students

1.  Do you buy lunch everyday? • Two people said yes, tweleve people said no

2.  Have you ever bought lunch?• Eight people said yes, six people said no

3.  Did you buy lunch last year but not this year?• Three people said yes, eleven people said no

4.  Have you always packed a lunch?• Seven people said yes, seven people said no 

Conclusion- The results of the survey seems that most of the class is split. People who have always packed lunch will always pack lunch and people who buy lunch will buy. But there was a small handful

of people who changed their opinion on the cafeteria food.   Rhetorical Strategies- Compare and Contrast, appeals to reason, and analogies.

Rising Cost of School Lunches

• Child Nutrition Bill by President Obama.

• Most Students Incurred a 12.5% increase.

• Unrealistic goals.• Financial burden for low income

Families. 

The Interview: 

Questions to ask yourself: • Did the price go up?• Are portions smaller?• Is the food healthy?• What was taken off the menu?
