Kindergarten meals get failing grade

A box lunch audit performed by dietician Shannon Crocker in 4 classes of Ontario, kindergarten has left to be desired.

Cold Hot-Dog, treats gummy, sweet fruit beverages and packaged cookies have been by the courts in these lunch pales Dora and Diego (children have lunch pales more?).

Here are a few other undesirable results of this survey of 82 lunches.

85% of the breakfast had no vegetables at all.Almost each container were a delight sweet and some up to five.Only five lunches included milk, but most of them had at least a drink sweet fruit - flavoured few or zero children nutritional value.Most had that a single drink to get through the day, while some had nothing to drink all.92% did not have a pack - despite some lunches with spaghetti and meat sauce that would be prone to bacteria, cooler if left for is réchauffer.déjeuners many did not provide enough food for the day were school children. Crocker has a theory on this property;

If a child eats much, parents could wrap small amounts of food or busy morning let little time to assemble lunches, money can be a factor, or he has not much food in the fridge so far here. Source

This course is about on several levels.It stresses the need for education and access to healthy food for children.The socioeconomic status of the schools in question was not mentioned, but it goes without saying that children should have access to healthy food.

This is more complicated by the issue of sponsors food wholesale and a skewed perception of what is considered to be "healthy" suite.

I think that parents can take a few simple steps and inexpensive to stimulate the nutritional quality of their children.it lunches need only seconds to include some baby carrots or other tranchés vegetables (with Al-hummus dip or red pepper, for example), an Apple, whole grain with cheese and tuna on entiers.Et grain bread sandwich crackers, it takes no time to include a sweet drink away.

If all else fails, get detective John Kimble to teach your class.
