SCHOOL LUNCH

Research has shown that over half the children in Britain who take their own lunches to school do not eat in the middle of the day. In Britain, schools have to provide meals at lunchtime. Children can choose to bring their own food or the school canteen.

One of this research is that school meals are much healthier than lunches prepared by parents. There are strict standards for the preparation of school meals, which have to include one portion of fruit and one of the vegetables, as well as meat, a dairy item and starchy food bread or pasta. Lunchboxes examined by researchers contained sweet drinks, crisps, and chocolate bars. Children consume twice as much sugar as they should at lunchtime.

The research will provide a better understanding of why the percentage of overweight students in Britain has increased in the last decade. Unfortunately, the government cannot instruct parents, but it can the nutritional value of milk, fruit, and vegetables. Children can easily develop bad eating habits at this age, and parents are the only who prevent it.
