Evan, this is an extremely well written piece. I love how you looked at this issue from many sides, and provided many arguments to support your idea. I also like how you not only talked about the issue but also: why it is important and what we should do about it. It was really cool to see you incorporate what other countries are doing about this issue as well, providing ideas and possible solutions. Awesome job and keep up the good work!

Evan, I totally agree with your issue on school lunches. I think this has been an issue for awhile now and hasn’t really improved so we should strive to change it so the new generation of children don’t have to suffer.

I agree with your ideas on school lunches. I hate to be a pessimist, but I do not think that reforms will work. Big business will lobby against this strongly. Schools are a prime market for the biggest food companies to trap consumers from the very beginning, and they are a huge source of income. Also, moving to a more localized approach will not work either, as the rich areas who can afford it aren’t the ones that need help, while the poorer areas who need support the most will keep doing what they are doing, and providing poor nutrition.

You thoroughly covered your issue and have left your audience informed. I now feel as though the American education system has been robbing me and my fellow peers the right to a better, nutritional life.

I completely agree with the fact that the school lunches don’t provide proper nutrition and that is a big issue especially when all anybody can say is that Americans are fat and need the right nutrition. I do think that the topic needs more attention and hopefully it can make a positive change.

Evan, this was a great infographic. It had a lot of information that I didn’t know and I love how it was layed out. Can not wait to see what you do next.

Evan, great job with your infographic; it was very well laid out and hit on multiple good points. School lunches may not even be on the radar for some people who are able to bring lunch from home and receive good education about nutrition, so thank you for bringing some of the real statistics to light.

Hi Evan,
I agree too that way Japan is doing school lunches could definitely help with the issue of school lunches in America. This is the way to go in american schools because most kids are unaware of the effects certain foods have on their bodies. I think that with nutritional education and healthier lunch it could definitely benefit the lives of many generations to come.

Hi Evan,

I like your picture of how healthy kids lunches are at Japan in comparison to how it is back home. It’s pretty bad to have our kids lunches be so bad, it can have serious health effects for our youth. Thank you for putting this together.

Hey there, Evan-
Intriguing analysis of Twain’s usage of satire that you’ve made here. Overall, I’d say it’s well thought out; your analysis skills seem to be superb. However, after reading “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
and seeing the ending remove all forms of moral dilemma, I can’t help but wonder: was the book truly a satirical novel, or did he just write it for fun? I tend to lean towards the latter.
I believe, however, that satire indeed has a solid usage in the modern day. In fact, I find it to be one of the best ways of getting a point across quickly when it comes to subjects such as politics. However, I also find it to be ineffective in giving a truly insightful look into things- it tends to rely heavily on anecdotes and strawman arguments, which promptly fall apart under scrutiny as being illogical. Rather than use satire to get a point across, I believe it is better to get a point across using a more logical, albeit slower, method of making a point, rather than pointing a finger and laughing.
Thank you for this post.
