One in five children starting primary school in the UK are overweight.By the time they leave school, that figure will rise to one in three.The chance of them being overweight in adulthood, which brings a range of associated health risks, is high, at 50—75%.
The root cause of dietrelated fatness is no secret:an energy imbalance between the quantity of food being consumed and the level of physical activity being conducted. Addressing this imbalance needs to be, in part, a review of our diet.More fresh ingredients(原料), especially fruit and vegetables, less processed foods and fewer additives(添加剂) are all important factors in building a balanced diet.
The Department of Health has recognised that a collective approach, rather than just individual behaviour change, is a successful way of achieving this.Universal adjustments like a blanket decrease in sugar content influence the way we eat through the choices available to us.
Applying this approach to school kitchens makes sense.They have an important role to play in maintaining healthy diets.Offering a school menu packed with fresh ingredients and without artificial additives makes a direct and effective impact on what children eat at school.
It's an area the Soil Association consistently works to handle through its Food for Life programme—working with schools to transform food culture, improve food education and encourage lasting changes to the way schools think about food.It works.In Food for Life schools, pupils are a third less likely to eat no fruit or vegetables than those in comparison schools.
One way for schools to get involved is a Food for Life Served Here award, which means at least 75% of dishes are prepared on site using fresh ingredients.It encourages local seasonal produce and, at silver or gold level, requires a commitment to environmentally friendly produce.At its heart, the award is designed to support health and enhance food understanding.
