describes what happens when one overeats or eats too quickly, something that often

occurs when students are not given adequate time to eat.

Ducharme, Jamie. “Eating Too Quickly May Be Bad for Your Health.” Time,

Time, 14 Nov. 2017, time.com/5023122/eating-fast-obesity/. This article informs its

readers on the dangers of eating too quickly. It explains how eating too quickly can lead

to heart disease, diabetes, stroke, obesity, and other health complications. It also explains

how eating too quickly doesn't allow one to properly chew or digest their food. This

source will be very useful since it discusses how one should take at least 30 minutes to

eat a meal, which contradicts the 20 minutes the students at Cumberland High School are Commented [3]: Good. Develop overview a bit.

periods in schools. It explains how when students are given less than 20 minutes to eat

lunch at school, they waste more food, leading to many students not eating as much as

they normally would.The article also explains why lunch periods in schools across the

country have gotten shorter, and how longer lunch lines have caused more students to

bring their own lunches to school. This article will be useful because it describes some of

the negative effects of specifically short lunch periods in school. It mentions how less

than 20 minutes, or what students at Cumberland High School normally get, is not

enough time to eat.

article was written for the Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center, New York City's

largest provider of free health and wellness services for teens. It explains how to eat a

healthy lunch and the effects of skipping lunch, which includes having a harder time

concentrating and feeling tired. This article will be helpful if when doing primary

research I find that students skip lunch due to long lines and an already short amount of

time to eat.
