PIC NIC kindergarten bags get a lack grade

A box lunch audit by dietitian Shannon Crocker 4 classes in kindergarten in Ontario, has left much to be desired.

Cold hot dogs, rubbery trafficking, drinks sweetened fruit and packaged cookies were pair for the course in picketing of Dora and Diego luncheon (children do lunch pales already?).

Here are some other undesirable results of this survey of 82 lunches.

85% of lunch had no vegetables all.Almost each container had a sweet delight and some until five.Only five included lunch milk, but most of them had at least a sugary drink flavoured with little or zero children fruit nutritional value.Most had only a drink to get through the day, while some had no drink in all.92% did not have a cooler - package for some meals containing spaghetti sauces and meat that would be prone to bacteria, leaving for caliente.muchas meals did not provide enough food for the long day that children were in school. Crocker has a theory on this one though;

If a child does not eat much, parents could package of small quantities of food, or busy morning allows little time to mount lunches, money may be a factor, or may not have been plenty of food in the refrigerator that day. Source

Obviously this is about of multi-level.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 need to have access to healthy foods.

This is further complicated by sponsoring large food item, and a resulting biased perception of what is considered to be "healthy".

I think that parents can take some very simple and inexpensive steps to promote the nutritional quality of lunch in their only seconds hijos.Tarda to include some baby carrots or sliced vegetables (with dip hummus or red pepper for example), an Apple, whole grain cheese biscuits and a sandwich tuna entero.Y, no grain bread takes absolutely not to be included a sugary drink.

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