Eat your Veggies kids !!

Being in the recess time with your students, makes you observe the tremendous unhealthy eating habits that they all follow! They are always crowded on the store window crying out for chocolates , candies and the traditional " mankoushi" . I barely see some students who have their own lunch box with fruits and vegetables inside it. More kids are becoming obese and the energy boost they take from sugars make them go wild in their classrooms.. 

Jamie Oliver a famous British young chef , entered to the classrooms in the UK, he was more then shocked when almost all the students were not able to recognize the name of the primary vegetables. So he decided to make a food revolution and managed to change the eating habits of schools across the UK.We can do that across our schools by helping the Bad Lunch bags change into healthier veggier ones ! and here are some tips that Jamie suggests in brief:

a- Sneak it in: If your kids do not eat raw vegetables, then try to sneak it. For example make a cake with carrot or orange juice  without even making them notice that the vegetables are inside it!

b- Make funny characters with vegetables and insert it in their lunch box. the will find it fun and delicious. 

c- Put the vegetables in the lunch box and write a small note beside it for your kids to read before they eat. the soft warming words make them feel the love that your are sending through your food :)
