Answer 1

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

For the focus of this paragraph, I will choose Perspective 1: Jamie Oliver's feelings about schoolchildren not having access to healthy foods in "Teach Every Child About Food."

If I were in Jamie Oliver's place, I would likely be deeply concerned about the lack of access to healthy foods for schoolchildren. As a chef and advocate for healthy eating, I can understand Jamie Oliver's passion for ensuring that children have access to nutritious meals. I can imagine that he sees the world as a place where too many children are being fed unhealthy foods, leading to high rates of obesity and related health problems. I would likely feel a strong sense of responsibility to do something about this issue, and I might feel frustrated by the challenges and obstacles that stand in the way of improving children's access to healthy foods. I might also feel a sense of urgency to act, knowing that children's health and well-being are at stake.
