[Ailist] school lunches

[Lionel Boxer]

Not just nutrient levels are important.  What is equally important is toxic free food - my wife started this business up last year and recently sold it (ie - I make no financial benefit): http://www.nontoxiclife.com.au 

We now buy non toxic food for our daughter's school lunchbox

You would be shocked at what is in food and how it contributes to unappreciative behaviour.

I rarely eat lunch in public restaurants, because I find that the food tends to be made with highly toxic ingredients, such as canola oil and too many preservatives.

Dear Ai-ers

I am working with a secondary school in the UK. They are part of a national pilot working towards specific nutrient levels-ie the protein, fat, salt etc level of school lunches.  The Government has introduced a set of standards to which school lunches must adhere.  The challenge is how best to do this. School students have choice as to what they can purchase for lunch.  In some schools the range of different outlets such as sandwich stall, jacket potato stall etc can be as many as 6.  If more students in a school choose the meat and vegetable option-the more the school is likely to achieve the standards for nutrients.

Is anyone doing any similar work on school meals?
Does anyone have any ideas, tips, thoughts........

any help much appreciated
Best wishes
