【NPR新闻】午餐时间15分钟(2/4)
In a new poll, parents complain that their children are not getting nearly enough time for a basic school ritual: eating lunch. And that's worrying parents and administrators, given that about one-third of American kids are overweight or obese.Hints:

Nearby, junior Olivia Moore eats her lunch standing up. She says the lines leave little time to actually eat and socialize.
I need more time because I eat slow and then, like, there's not enough free time. Shut up to my mummer, I look.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that students get at least 20 minutes for lunch. But they mean 20 minutes to actually sit down and eat, excluding time waiting in line or walking from class. Officially anyway, students here get about 40 minutes for lunch. But Jennifer LeBarre, Oakland Unified's director for nutrition services, admits the actual table time is far shorter, at times just ten minutes.
I think it's a legitimate complaint that there's not enough time to eat, right? I think if we're being asked to eat our lunch in ten minutes, that's not enough for us. So I really think we need to, you know, really work more towards the 20-minute table time.
This school is hardly alone. One result in a wide-ranging new poll by NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard School of Public Health found that 20% of parents of students from kindergarten through fifth grade surveyed said their child only gets 15 minutes or fewer to eat.土豆干干的，食物干干的，东西还烧焦，就是很恶心。
不远处，三年级学生奥利维亚·摩尔在站着吃午饭。她说，排队实际就留了一点时间来吃饭和社交。
因为我吃的慢，我需要更多的时间，然后跟大家一样，没有足够的自由时间。我看还是不说了。
美国儿科研究院建议学生至少20分钟午餐时间。但他们表示20分钟实际只是坐下来吃饭的时间，不包括排队等候和回去上课的时间。总之，官方给学生大概40分钟午餐。但奥克兰联合营养服务主任珍妮弗·拉芭瑞也承认，实际用餐时间远远少于十分钟。
我认为这是合理合法的抱怨，有没有足够的时间吃，对不对？我想，如果我们被要求用十几分钟吃午餐，我们也不够。所以我真的认为我们需要为20分钟吃饭时间努力。
无独有偶。国家公共之声范围广泛的新的民意调查，罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊基金会和哈佛学校公共卫生组织发现，从幼稚园到五年级20 ％受访学生家长表示他们的孩子只得到15分钟或更少时间的吃饭。
