Nutrition+at+Lunch-Group+A

Erin Blumling Morgan Hocker Rob Miller
 * Proposal-** Our group, "Nutrition in School Lunches" would like to Contact Mr. Hummel, the Food Services Manager of Hershey Middle School, to see if he would like to take action in placing a fruit cart in the cafeteria along with a fresh salad bar in the main area where you get your lunch. We would also like to maybe get a group of other schools to participate in putting healthy lunch food in school cafeterias. We took a survey for their opinion of what we should put in the cafeteria. We got results and they have gave us lots of answers on what we should do. These are the results we collected: http://spreadsheets.google.com/a/hershey.k12.pa.us/ccc?key=0AqtrFr6cMEV_dFJ0a0hHZVVaQmxfbGdNaXA4dGU5ZGc&hl=en We were inspired by Morgan Spurlock and Mrs. Miller the health teacher at Hershey Middle School to make healthy choices in school lunches.
 * Solution-** We would like to put a Fresh Fruit Cart in the cafeteria during lunch so you can buy some fruit with your lunch. The fruit would be free and you can take 1 piece of fruit if you would like. We are also going to put a salad bar with fresh lettuce because we don't think that it is very fresh.
 * Action Plan-**We're going to try to email Mr. Hummel (He's in charge of the food served at our school and nutrition), within the next week, and hope that he responds. Then we will see what he thinks can be done about this, and see if he will think about adding a fruit/vegetable/salad bar for our cafeteria. We want to try to accomplish this before the end of the year.
 * Sources-** We would need a cart for the fruit, a lot of variety of FRESH fruit and vegetables, and salad. Some of the fruit that we would want to have offered is- fresh pineapple, apples that aren't bagged, kiwi, grapefruit, grapes, bananas, many people suggested that we should have fresh peaches, mangoes, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, cantaloupe, watermelon
 * People Involved-** Mr. Hummel, The kids who eat lunch in our school,
