🍔 The Scenario

Read the following scenario carefully:

Aroha is a 16-year-old student at Auckland Grammar School. She's been selected for the school's netball team and has training three times a week after school. Her mum works two jobs and often doesn't get home until 7pm, so Aroha is responsible for getting her own lunch and after-school snacks.

Aroha's daily routine involves catching the bus to school at 7:30am (often without breakfast), buying lunch from the school canteen, and on training days, she's starving by 4pm when practice starts. The school canteen offers pies ($4.50), sushi ($6.00), salad bowls ($8.50), and energy drinks ($3.50). There's also a McDonald's across the road where many students go.

Aroha's friends always buy pies and energy drinks, and they tease her when she occasionally chooses the salad bowl, calling it "rabbit food." Her netball coach has mentioned that the team's energy levels seem low during training. Aroha's family is on a tight budget - her mum gives her $15 per day for food, and she's been saving money to buy new sports shoes that cost $180.

Aroha has noticed she feels tired during afternoon classes and sometimes gets headaches. She's also been gaining weight and feels self-conscious in her netball uniform. Her grandmother, who lives with them, keeps telling her she's "too skinny" and needs to eat more, often giving her extra money to "buy something filling."
