..~ ~ BACK TO SCHOOL SECTION WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1981, PAGE 13 Here's Help in Planning School Lunches: Your children may not be able to change established eating habits overnight but, with your help, they can be- come well-informed about what goes into the making of a sensible school lunch. If their school sponsors a hot-lunch program, discuss menus with them. You may decide together to alternate between home lunches and the school program. Cer- tainly, you will want them to choose all foods wisely. Tell your children about the different edibles avail- able and the advantages and disadvantages of each. If possible, have them go to the market with you to help select these products. To take the boredom out of sandwiches, choose one of the many varieties of en- riched breads. Ethnic vari- eties, such as Swedish Lim- pa, French sourdough bread, braided callah, pum- pernickel, or any of the hard rolls and grains provide es- sential nutrients and look and taste just great! Let- tuce, tomatoes, and cheese are zesty additives "submarine" effect. for a Dried fruits and assorted nuts are healthy candy sub- stitues. Children find it fun when you include them in snacks and school lunches. You can create an atmo- sphere of mystery by seal- ing them in a closed, non- transparent bag or contain- er. Alternating the treats will add to the surprise. Introduce your children to the four basic food groups and explain the importance of each one in their diet. They may not know that the milk group, containing such delights as ice cream, pud- ding, and delicious cheeses, aids in the development of healthy bones, teeth, and body tissues.

Ask your children what they prefer in their school and dinner menus. It is important to make sure your children receive at least two high-protein foods in daily meals. If they tire of the usual meat, poultry, and fish offerings, encourage the eating of nuts, nut butters, beans, and peas. Although lesser proteins, they provide convenient, acceptable al- ternatives. At home or in school, most children enjoy popu- lar cereals which are either nutritionally enriched or made from whole grains. Many of these products have been made into con- venient snacks in their usu- al form or in candy-bar shapes. Plan to have your children enjoy at least two servings of these vitamin B foods daily. Following these simple guidelines will make nutri- tional meal planning easier for you, and more enjoy- able for the special young- sters in your life. A GOOD, NUTRITIOUS LUNCH is on-way to combat "junk food" habits youngsters may have picked up. "ROADRUNNING" BACK TO SCHOOL!!
