School Lunch

Well I don’t want to sound like I am a picky eater because I am DEFFINITLY not but I think that School lunch is terrible. I think that it is a waste of money and even sometimes a waste of time. So there are days where I like the food the serve in the lunch line. I don’t know if I agree that they should charge a whole two dollars for it but at least you can stand eating it. But then there are other days the lunch is just plain gross. All they do is slop this auful stuff on your tray and take your money. Every year the school lunch prices just go up and up. Now wouldn’t someone think that they were adding new food to the menu or giving you more food? Well that’s what you would thing but they don’t. They charge you a ridiculous amount of money for a very small portion of food that is nasty. I was watching the news a few weeks ago and the state nutrition services visited every school in the state and came out with grades on the lunch program. Jordan School District in Salt Lake City got a failing F while Davis School District got a barely passing C-. At first I thought that that was a good thing that they were failing so then we actually might get good food. But no the reason they failed was because they say the food isn’t healthy enough! I couldn’t believe it! The reason they are feeding us crap in the first place is because they say that it’s healthy unlike other stuff that they could be serving. Then they come in and decide that it’s still not healthy enough. So they decided that they need a more vegan (vegetarian) style of lunch. I am sorry but the hamburgers they serve for lunch now are bad enough so all we need now is veggie burgers. Yeah right. Then the come to the schools and get mad cause the vending machine purchase rate is too high for the sugary and fattening foods they stock them with. Do they really wonder why? I sure hope not. Well I better stop so I don’t get into trouble for saying all these bad things. It’s kind of sounding like a persuasive essay anyway. So there it is some very good reasons for better lunches.

Cars

I had no idea what to write until I asked my parents. They told me to write about something that I know a lot about. So, while I was trying to decide what to write a car drove by my house that I liked. I knew what kind of car it was because I know a lot about them. Then I thought hey I will write about my favorite cars and what I like about them.” So yes, although I play the tuba I also know about cars believe it or not. I am going to go through the categories and tell you which ones are my favorites and tell you a little about them.

1. SUV- Mercedes-Benz G-Class

There are two different models of the G-Class: The G500 and the G55 AMG. The G500 has a 5.0 Liter, V8 with 292 Horsepower. It goes 0-60 mph in 7.4 seconds.(Which is fast for an SUV.) It holds up to 5 adults. The G55 AMG has all the same features as the G-500 except for a few new performance items. The AMG has a 5.5 Liter V8 at 493 Horsepower. It has been AMG tuned and has a Supercharger which helps out. The AMG can go 0-60 mph in an amazing 5.4 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph. The only problem is the price. The G500 starts at $86,200, and the G55 AMG at $109,900.

2. Car-BMW 760Li

BMW has a 7 Series Line a 750i, 750Li, and a 760Li. I like the 760Li the best. It has a 438 Horsepower, 6.0 Liter, V-12 Engine. 0-60 mph at 5.8 seconds and its top speed is electronically limited to 150 mph. The inside is built to be the ultimate luxury car. Of course it has leather seats, wood trim, and a DVD Navigation System. It also has the option for an in car mini fridge, tv, rotating Tri Zenon Headlights (They follow the road not point in the direction of the car) and my favorite, Head Up Display. Which is a tiny projector that projects the speed of the car and what ever is on the screen of the Navigation System onto the windshield of the car so you don’t have to risk getting into accident while trying to read the directions or adjusting your speed. But, if you want to change your destination the car is also voice activated. This allows you to talk to the cars computer and talk on your Bluetooth Cell phone through your car. All this high end luxury comes to the big starting price of $122,600.

3.Truck-Ford F-350

Well it’s a tie bettween which truck I like better, the F-350 or the F-450. The only differences are the two dual wheels in the back for a wider wheelbase and a standard Diesel engine. The F-450 (Now some people don’t like the two dual wheels. I am one of them. If you like the bigger wheelbase and a much bigger price go for the F-350) So, I am going to choose the F-350. There are 3 different kinds: The 2-door the 2-door with rear half swinging doors, and the 4- door model. This truck also has a big engine it is a Power Stroke Turbo Diesel engine. The engine is a 6.4 Liter V8 which puts out 350 Horsepower. The Turbo Diesel is not standard it’s just most common in the F-350. The standard engine is a 5.4 Liter Triton V8 at 300 Horsepower. Other option’s you can get are: the Diesel or the Triton 6.8 Liter V10 at 362 Horsepower. I am going to tell you about the Diesel. It has Ford Clean Diesel Technology and with emissions like regular gasoline engines. Its Ford’s cleanest, quietest truck diesel ever. Also there’s no change in power or torque. The top speed is145 mph and 0-60 mph at 8.1 seconds. It has six standard seats and roomy interior. One option I like is the folding stairs that comes out of the back of the tailgate so you can get into the back of the truck a lot easier. They start at $38,160 but you will not find the truck you want for that much. If you want the Diesel add another grand or two. So if you want a truck worth driving plan on spending a lot more than that.

Tune in next week to find out my next three favorite cars!
