A Message From The Food Department.
This is Ashley, Head of the Food Department. Today I’m going to talk about the food waste that happens at my school. MY school has a lot of children who eat breakfast and lunch every day. There is a lot of food and most of the kids don't eat all of the food. What happens to all the food that they don't eat? It gets thrown in the trash.
The other day we were working in the new garden area and I looked in the trash can behind the cafeteria. What I saw was a bunch of milk and granola on the ground and some in the trash. I made everyone look at the waste. All that un-eaten food was sad.
I am the only person who eats breakfast daily in my classroom. Four other people might eat if they did not eat at home. So every morning I pick up the cart and take it to the eat area. Sometimes others in my class might eat the food. But our teacher told the cafeteria that we were getting too much and she change the total we received. Now the cafeteria only gives us about five meals each day. So if my friend don't want to eat, we only have a few meals that might end up in the trash. Most morning all of our food gets eaten by someone in the room. Before it was 30 meals given to us and most of it was thrown out. We are doing something about food waste in Classtopia. We hope that other classes can do the same.
The students are not the only ones throwing the food away. The lunch ladies also throw away all the extra food. I have seen then with my own eyes
Lunchtime waste is another big gigantic problem. That is the biggest waste of all. When the lunch is yucky everyone throws it away. Some people take a bite and then they are done with it.
I highly recommend the school district find a solution to the problem. They need to find a way to stop children from throwing food away. Maybe they can make better lunches.

I also recommend all students to eat the school breakfast and lunch even if they don't like it that much. It is a meal and is good for their brains and bodies. We don’t want our school to waste food anymore. I want my school to be the cleanest place in the neighborhood.
One thing our school should do is that we can donate the food to poor people. We can also give the milk to the parent center so that the milk doesn’t become wasted milk.The parents can take it home and use it to make something delicious that their kids might want to eat.

This is a picture of the food waste when students don’t eat the breakfast.
It saddens me to see milk in this picture knowing that many children in the world have nothing to eat or drink.
ReplyDeletevery true so sad
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad. So much food wasted
ReplyDeleteWhat i learned is that if you waste food one day you will need it.
ReplyDeleteWhat I learned from this entry is that if you throw away food that you don't like you are BASICALLY throwing away food that you like because food is food and if you are hungry and you are starving and there is a Humus Sandwich and you dont like Humus you will still have to eat it.
ReplyDeletein this blog i have learned that food you throw away and it is still good to eat you will need it more in the future and you are going to wish you never had throw it away. 'x'
ReplyDeleteI have learned that you should not waste food because there are some people that do not have any food to eat.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is good that we only get a few breakfasts, so less goes in the trash.
