Persuasive Essay 9 - Cafeteria Food

Persuasive Essay 9 – Some people think that school cafeterias should be required to provide low-fat and/or vegetarian lunch options to accommodate the eating habits of all students. Do you agree or disagree? Explain your position and use specific reasons and examples as support.

Everybody has a different eating habit. If people liked the same thing, everybody would be eating the same type of food. It is not like that though because there are skinny people, fat, vegans, vegetarians, meat lovers etc. everybody has different types of taste buds. Some people may hate fruits but then they might love vegetables and vice versa. You cannot think that every person in this world has the same likes when it comes to food. I think that cafeterias should offer different types of food to please everybody.
When it comes to kids and lunch, which is the time where you cannot think that they might like the same type of food. Kids are so picky that they do not just eat anything because they are given it. They do not know how to settle for what they have. Kids want what they desire not what other people think is best for them. A lot off kids do not like the type of food that cafeterias offer because the food does not appeal to them. The smell does not smell right to them, it does not look right to them, and then they do not believe that it is going to be good because they think that cafeteria food is county food and it is nasty.
In school, every kid has a different type of like when it comes to food. Some kids love having meant in their food, like me. I have to have meat in all of my meals. I do not feel satisfied if I do not have meat. I love to eat fruit but I do not like all types of vegetables. I like to have a fruit on the side when I am eating lunch. I hate it when they do not have fruit and I have to eat a vegetable. When I do not have what I like, sometimes I do not even eat the lunch because I think that it is nasty. When I do not eat, I get mad because I stay hungry and I have to go to class that way.
Besides the people that like to eat meat, there are also people that are vegetarians. Vegetarians hate meat and do not like any of their foods to even be made with meat. I think that cafeterias have to respect the eating decisions of all of the kids. They need to have vegetarian food to please those types of kids because if they do not, the kids will not eat. It is bad when kids do not eat because then the kids get sleepy and are not able to pay attention and then they start slipping in class. When they start slipping, their grades start falling and then that is when the parent gets involved because they are getting mad that their child’s grades are falling. Cafeterias need to respect that kids do not like to eat fat foods. Some kids hate greasy foods. They like to eat low fat yogurt. They might be the type that loves to work out and love to keep their body fit. When they try to keep their body fit, they are big when it comes to eating healthy. If they do not eat healthy, it throws off their whole lifestyle.
I think that everybody has a different eating habit and that they all should be respected. Everybody needs to eat something different because they like different things. Cafeterias need to respect it and they need to give out different types of foods to satisfy the needs of the different students.

Settings - My Living Room

The place that I chose was my living room. I chose my living room because I did everything in my living room. We had a big screen TV that I used everyday. I watched so many moves, it’s insane. I had my toys in the living room. My toy chest took a whole corner of the living room. I had books, toys, and different supplies. I had so many toys that my friends would come to my apartment so we can play. The sun shines in the living room. The living room was the brightest room in the house. My mom kept it clean with the windows open because the sun hit our house since we were on the second floor. We had wooden floors and furniture. We had my toy chest in one corner, the TV in the other corner, the couches on the other two corners and then a coffee table in the middle of the living room.

Persuasive Essay #8

Many People immigrate to the U.S. because they believe that it is better than their native country. In fact, many people believe that the United States is the best country in the world. Do you agree? Why or why not?

Over the years, my family from another country always tells me how lucky I am to be living in the United States. At first, I thought that I was lucky, but now I am starting to believe that they are the lucky ones. The United States has changed a great deal in the past twenty years. I think that right now, the United States is not the best country in the world because of chaos that we are in.
The united states are in a depression. We have been trying to come up from this economic depression for years now. There is a great abundance of people that have lost their jobs because of this depression. Jobs are harder to find now because of the budget cuts. Teachers are not being paid what their salary consists of. The price of gas changes every couple of months. The price goes up and down then up and down again. A lot of businesses have closed down because they are not making enough money. There are barely any banks left because a lot of them have filed bankruptcy. Everything in the United States is going down the drain because the government cannot fix the crisis that Americans are gong through right now.
Education is very different very different in the united states as well. Public schools have suffered greatly. The government does not give the needed funding for the schools to provide books, computer labs, and different supplies. A lot of teachers have been laid off by budget cuts, so that means that the students rarely learn because they lack the teacher. A lot of kids do not even go to school anymore because they find it pointless. Schools have evolved to something different now. Colleges are suffering a lot too. They have to lower the amount of people that they accept into their schools because they do not have the proper funding to support these students.
This is not a good country to live in because if you are in the middle class, you are struggling. If you do not have money saved up already, you are going to struggle. This country is a lot about money. Poor people have become worst than they already were. Everybody is struggling. People that immigrate would have a very hard time to get on their feet if they come here. The United States is also going into a war too. The Americans never know when somebody might try to hurt us again like 9/11.
I think that at this point in time, the way that the Americans are struggling, the United States is not a good country to live in or to even think about coming to. I think that there are better countries to migrate to. People can make better choices and the United States is not the better choice right now.
