🏫 学校給食の重要性

この段落では、学校給食が子供たちの生活にどれほど重要な役割を果たしているかが語られています。新聞やソーシャルメディアで議論される学校給食業界は、特に貧困に苦しむ子供たちにとって不可欠な存在です。例えば、ディランという4年生の子供が遅刻して学校に来て、その理由は母親が忙しいシングルマザーで、朝食を食べる時間を作れないことが明らかになります。学校給食は、子供たちが飢えている状況を改善し、教育を受ける上で欠かせない要素となっています。研究によると、平均して教室には4人以上の子供が家で正規の食事をとっていないという事実が示されています。

05:02

🥗 学校給食の栄養と変化

この段落では、学校給食が提供する栄養の質と、それが子供たちに与える影響について説明されています。学校給食には果物、野菜、全粒穀、たんぱく質、そして牛乳がバランスよく含まれており、これは他の飲食サービス業ではなかなか見られない品質です。ワシントン州の東部では、生で料理された料理が提供されており、新鮮なサラダバーも人気です。これらの健康的な変更は、過剰な体重を持つ子供たちの数を12%減少させたと報告されています。子供たちが健康的な食事を楽しむようになると、彼らの習慣が変わり、精神的および感情的な健康にも良い影響を与えます。

play00:16

if I asked you to fill in the blank

play00:20

school meals are what's the first word

play00:26

that came to your mind over the last ten

play00:31

years the school meal industry has seen

play00:33

an incredible amount of news coverage

play00:37

and I've heard a lot of people on the

play00:39

news and social media talk about what

play00:41

they think school meals are one teacher

play00:44

told me about an experience he had with

play00:47

his fourth grade student Dylan and the

play00:48

first week of school Dylan came to

play00:51

school late and he was extremely upset

play00:54

for the rest of the day and over the

play00:57

next several weeks Dylan was often late

play00:59

and it didn't matter if he was five

play01:01

minutes late or thirty minutes late

play01:03

he had this same reaction now his

play01:07

teacher tried talking to him and he

play01:09

tried talking to Dylan's mother and he

play01:11

learned that she was a single mother

play01:13

working three jobs including a night

play01:16

shift she didn't always make it home in

play01:19

time to get her boys off to school but

play01:22

nothing this teacher did changed Dylan's

play01:25

behavior until one day Dylan did

play01:29

something really brave he said I only

play01:33

eat two meals a day and when I'm late I

play01:37

miss my breakfast

play01:40

the only meals he could rely on were

play01:43

school breakfast and school lunch so let

play01:47

me fill in that blank and tell you that

play01:49

school meals are important I have the

play01:54

incredible opportunity of working with

play01:56

school districts all across Eastern

play01:58

Washington and every single one of them

play02:01

has students like Dylan and not just one

play02:04

or two two out of three teachers will

play02:08

tell you that they have students in

play02:10

their classrooms who regularly come to

play02:13

school hungry but research shows us that

play02:16

that number is far too low on average

play02:19

every classroom has four or more

play02:22

students who do not eat regular meals at

play02:25

home now many people still view school

play02:28

meals as an accessory to the real reason

play02:31

kids go to school right lunchtime it's a

play02:34

break it's a pause in education

play02:37

education is why we have schools but our

play02:40

ability to become educated collapses

play02:44

when we are hungry research shows us

play02:47

that Dylan is more likely to lose focus

play02:50

in class score lower in math experience

play02:54

delays in his language and motor skills

play02:57

struggle with behavioral issues like

play03:00

hyperactivity in the classroom and

play03:02

ultimately he is more likely to repeat

play03:06

the fourth grade than his classmates our

play03:09

hunger affects our ability to become

play03:13

educated which prompts a question what

play03:16

is education exactly if a student can

play03:20

balance an algebraic equation but they

play03:23

can't tell you how to balance a meal

play03:24

are they really educated we had a

play03:28

student in school who thought that pears

play03:30

were little white cubes they came packed

play03:33

in a can of juice we had girls that were

play03:36

shocked and disgusted to find chicken

play03:38

bones in a chicken drumstick children

play03:42

today are incredibly disconnected from

play03:46

the food that they're eating they've

play03:47

grown up eating out of boxes and bags

play03:50

and cans and that is exactly how our

play03:54

food industry wants it to be US

play03:56

companies spend 1.7 billion dollars a

play04:00

year marketing processed foods to

play04:03

children and on top of that our portion

play04:07

sizes have more than tripled in the last

play04:09

50 years so it's no wonder that we're

play04:12

finding adult onset diseases like high

play04:15

blood pressure and type 2 diabetes in

play04:18

children as young as 10 years old we

play04:25

need to change the way we educate

play04:27

children about nutrition and if we want

play04:31

to teach them what better place than

play04:33

school meals in the cafeteria and

play04:37

typical day the majority of us students

play04:40

will eat at least one meal from their

play04:42

schools and many families now rely on

play04:45

schools to feed their kids so let me

play04:49

tell you what's included in a school

play04:51

meal today

play04:51

every school lunch includes fruits

play04:54

vegetables whole grain protein and milk

play04:58

in balanced portions schools every week

play05:01

serve red orange vegetables dark green

play05:05

vegetables and legumes these meals are

play05:09

impressive we don't see this level of

play05:12

nutrition quality served to children

play05:14

anywhere else in the food service

play05:16

industry and we can no longer assume

play05:18

that this is happening in homes school

play05:23

meals are important and when we

play05:26

understand that we will invest the time

play05:29

and the resources that these programs

play05:31

need to be successful and impactful in

play05:34

our communities and some communities

play05:37

have already started in fact in eastern

play05:40

Washington over half of students are

play05:43

offered entrees that are cooked from

play05:46

scratch we are offering whole-grain

play05:48

breads baked here in Spokane and

play05:51

colorful salad bars full of fresh

play05:53

produce and these healthy changes that

play05:57

we're making have a powerful impact one

play06:01

of the first local school districts to

play06:03

switch to scratch cooked meals found

play06:05

that in the first five years of their

play06:08

program there was a 12% reduction in the

play06:12

number of overweight and obese students

play06:14

in their district when we teach children

play06:19

how to eat and enjoy healthy foods their

play06:23

habits change I watched a third-grade

play06:26

girl walk into her lunchroom look up and

play06:28

down the lunch line in distress and say

play06:30

we aren't having salad today how amazing

play06:34

that we have elementary students looking

play06:37

forward to a salad with their lunch and

play06:38

another salad bar a fifth grade girl

play06:41

loaded her tray with diced tomatoes ate

play06:43

every single one and she was so excited

play06:45

about the diced tomatoes that a bunch of

play06:48

her friends went back to try them out

play06:50

we had a mom call the school and ask for

play06:53

our radish recipe because her kids kept

play06:55

talking about the radishes they tried at

play06:57

school that day and jicama which is a

play07:01

root vegetable became so popular when we

play07:04

sampled it at an elementary school that

play07:06

we ran out of it the next day when we

play07:08

served it with lunch when we understand

play07:12

that school meals are important we can

play07:15

create cafeterias that are as effective

play07:19

at educating as our classrooms school

play07:23

meals are not a pause in education in

play07:26

fact school meals can become some of the

play07:29

most powerful education we offer in

play07:33

public schools now school meals do more

play07:36

than just support education and they

play07:38

even do more than supporting our

play07:40

physical health they support our mental

play07:43

and our emotional well-being existing

play07:46

data in the u.s. shows us that children

play07:48

who cannot rely on consistent meals at

play07:51

home present both biological and psycho

play07:55

emotional developmental challenges

play07:59

independent of socioeconomic status the

play08:02

effects of hunger in elementary school

play08:04

include anxiety hyperactivity and

play08:08

aggression and high school students who

play08:11

struggle with hunger are more likely to

play08:13

develop anxiety depression and commit

play08:17

suicide now to some degree we're all

play08:20

familiar with the mental and behavioral

play08:22

effects of hunger right many of us get

play08:25

hangry after just a little too long

play08:28

without food man in fact I might be

play08:31

standing in front of an audience

play08:32

that's currently feeling some of these

play08:35

effects so let me tell you what is

play08:39

happening inside your body right now if

play08:42

you are here on time today it's been

play08:44

over three hours since you ate your

play08:46

breakfast and in that time your blood

play08:49

sugar and insulin levels have been

play08:51

slowly dropping and this alerted your

play08:54

gut to release a hormone ghrelin growlin

play08:58

signaled to a region of your brain

play09:00

called the hypothalamus

play09:02

and once that signal arrived the reward

play09:04

centers for your brain changed and they

play09:08

started to search for food now these

play09:10

changes are invasive your stomach might

play09:13

have started to growl or if you're like

play09:15

me you literally started going through

play09:17

your purse trying to find a snack and

play09:19

new research shows us that your brain

play09:22

sacrifices energy it would normally

play09:25

spend on learning and memory in order to

play09:29

search for food so imagine with me for a

play09:33

second that our MC comes out and says

play09:35

sorry guys we're running a little behind

play09:36

we're just gonna skip our lunch break

play09:38

today and plow right on through it's

play09:40

gonna be about four hours how much would

play09:44

you get from the rest of our TED Talks

play09:45

today no matter how engaging the

play09:49

speakers were or well-prepared how would

play09:52

you feel as you sat there waiting you

play09:59

might feel like Dylan his first week of

play10:03

school only he was nine years old and it

play10:07

had been 19 hours since he ate his last

play10:11

meal his mom dropped him off ten minutes

play10:14

late and he just realized that he missed

play10:17

breakfast he's now gonna go to class and

play10:21

try to learn for four hours until he

play10:26

eats his lunch we need to change the way

play10:31

that we think about school meals and we

play10:36

need to change the way that we talked to

play10:38

each other about school meals we have

play10:42

the power to change cafeterias into

play10:45

centers for nutrition education and we

play10:49

have the opportunity to create schools

play10:53

that are safe havens from hunger and I

play10:57

believe that we can change the health

play11:00

trajectory for American kids when we

play11:03

internalize the simple truth that school

play11:07

meals are important thank you

play11:12

[Applause]

play11:18
