They were gross: high fat, high calories, no fresh vegetables or fruit. Basically, they were designed to be as cheap as possible and as filling as possible. Teachers always complained that students were so sluggish after lunch. I think this sluggishness was a result of the food they were eating. 

Also, the image with the fighting broccoli and chocolate bar made me think about the problem. The problem isn't just availability it's also education. For example, in the garden project that Michelle Obama spearheaded, students actually planted their own vegetables, harvested them, and prepared them to eat. Everyone was excited to eat the vegetable that they help grow and prepare. ]]> 2021-03-23 21:46:58 UTC https://padlet.com/GlobalLaunch/4dpqu9ouwj8fw1vo/wish/1345321168 wliu159 https://padlet.com/GlobalLaunch/4dpqu9ouwj8fw1vo/wish/1380263384 We can learn from the book that Nigeria is the country that spent with the highest percentages of income on food. I think the problem is caused by the very low per capita income in the area. People don't have enough money to buy some nutritionally balanced or delicious food because their per capita income is not high. And as we can see from the picture, the quality of the food is not very high either.]]> 2021-04-04 04:38:30 UTC https://padlet.com/GlobalLaunch/4dpqu9ouwj8fw1vo/wish/1380263384 jlee638 https://padlet.com/GlobalLaunch/4dpqu9ouwj8fw1vo/wish/1385870529 Elderly living alone are hard to work and cannot earn economic income unless their children support them. There are many elderly living alone in the world and there are lonely deaths. Welfare for them exists in most countries, but it is actually too much for them to live comfortably. This picture shows an elderly person crouching in a park and eating food distributed by a volunteer group. Even some elderly people who live alone often eat instant ramen. This picture reminded me of the problem of malnutrition among the elderly living alone.

Especially, some students would have a student loan. So they would have limited budgets on food and other daily requirements. So each times of shopping would take them some considerations. For example, the bus or taxi fee would be considered in a total cost for that travel. So normally, the roommates would wrote a list of things, that they would like to buy.  ]]> 2021-04-06 13:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/GlobalLaunch/4dpqu9ouwj8fw1vo/wish/1387157846 115935lmzd https://padlet.com/GlobalLaunch/4dpqu9ouwj8fw1vo/wish/1387228125 Homeless people usually don't have a stable place to live, which means they don't have stable income or don't have any income at all. Lack of money means no food to eat, which cause poor nutrition. Althought lots of country have food bank set up for those homless people, there are still lots of homeless people don't have any food to eat. This picture shows a skinny homeless child sleeping on the street. ]]> 2021-04-06 13:56:37 UTC https://padlet.com/GlobalLaunch/4dpqu9ouwj8fw1vo/wish/1387228125 shamada1 https://padlet.com/GlobalLaunch/4dpqu9ouwj8fw1vo/wish/1388614349 This problem is actually occurring in Japan, which is a developed country. However, it is an unrelated problem for people living in large cities. So who has this problem? This issue is for people living in the countryside. In a story that actually happened, a high school girl who lived in the countryside spent three hours one way to attend high school. In short, she spent six hours traveling to school almost every day. Her house was poor and had no cars, so she used to cycle, train and walk. Because of that, she couldn't make friends and couldn't allocate time to study, so her dream of going to university in Tokyo didn't come true. This story is a bit extreme, but we modern people benefit greatly from transportation. People without transportation are walking while we are resting. And they are walking again while we are studying. As a result, they will suffer many disadvantages. ]]> 2021-04-06 18:36:43 UTC https://padlet.com/GlobalLaunch/4dpqu9ouwj8fw1vo/wish/1388614349 ytao44 https://padlet.com/GlobalLaunch/4dpqu9ouwj8fw1vo/wish/1389914947 When people go to college, their parents won't give them too much money. At this time we need to manage our money and health properly. I think college students can't rely on take-out and overspending. We should prepare a chart to track our healthy eating and spending for the week. This can greatly reduce our own expenses. At the same time, it can help us plan our money in advance.]]> 2021-04-07 03:39:04 UTC https://padlet.com/GlobalLaunch/4dpqu9ouwj8fw1vo/wish/1389914947 https://padlet.com/GlobalLaunch/4dpqu9ouwj8fw1vo/wish/1390014402 In this table we can see Nigeria spend more income on food. I think it is because they do not have enough income to buy more things and other better food. They know that food is very important to people. From the picture we can see that the food is not very good.]]> 2021-04-07 04:45:42 UTC https://padlet.com/GlobalLaunch/4dpqu9ouwj8fw1vo/wish/1390014402 jpark342 https://padlet.com/GlobalLaunch/4dpqu9ouwj8fw1vo/wish/1390264834 It is pretty obvious that elementary, middle,  and high schools in United states have not providing great quality of food for their students. The obesity rate over 90 state is 42% which is very high and I'll believe it's because of commercialized fast food and diet. When we compare the US schools' diet with Asian country's school, we can easily notice that it is It is greasy and able to make it easily and fast. When I looked at this picture, it looks actually tasty at the first time as a Korean. However, when I am imagine to eat this food every single day, I definitely think it will be hard to keep in shape.]]> 2021-04-07 06:44:47 UTC https://padlet.com/GlobalLaunch/4dpqu9ouwj8fw1vo/wish/1390264834 tzhan166 https://padlet.com/GlobalLaunch/4dpqu9ouwj8fw1vo/wish/1390274246 Many people can't get well-paid jobs because of their education and age. But in order to make a better life for their family members, they are not willing to spend money, so some people, such as restaurant cleaners, eat other people's leftovers. They may even take them home to eat. These foods are not safe. Food stored for a long time will produce nitrite, which is a kind of harmful substance.]]> 2021-04-07 06:48:57 UTC https://padlet.com/GlobalLaunch/4dpqu9ouwj8fw1vo/wish/1390274246 ylian114 https://padlet.com/GlobalLaunch/4dpqu9ouwj8fw1vo/wish/1392600134 Some college students are not rich, and they may have loans or ordinary family backgrounds. After paying high tuition fees, there is not much money left. So after weighing the daily expenses, some people will choose cheap fast food because they are more willing to spend money on new mobile phones, luxury goods, and reduce food expenses, resulting in unhealthy eating.]]> 2021-04-07 17:34:18 UTC https://padlet.com/GlobalLaunch/4dpqu9ouwj8fw1vo/wish/1392600134
