Here are some suggestions for improving the healthfulness of foods
eaten in schools:
Pack a lunch. Bean and pasta salads, grilled tofu,
burritos, and sandwiches make great lunches and are easy to pack.
Last night's leftovers are also a great, simple choice. Make sure
to include several healthy snacks.
Encourage your child to request
that low-fat, vegetarian entrées be
placed on the lunch line. Demand for these items will encourage the food
service to incorporate healthier foods into their menu cycle.
Parents can also volunteer
their time. Get involved with the PTA or directly with the
food service. Work with them to help them incorporate healthier
foods. Some parents have even donated recipes or planned healthy
snack breaks in the classroom.
