Young kids and their food are things that need to be settled. Often kids don’t eat school lunch because it’s not tasty, and sometimes parents don’t support the idea of their kids eating unhealthy school food. Although many people might choose school lunch over any other alternative because it’s inexpensive, making sure that your child learns, at an early age, to make a habit of replacing these unhealthy school lunches with healthier food is definitely worth it. Lesley Alderman from the New York Times recently wrote an article about incorporating healthier food into school lunch, these are some tips I found that I though might be helpful:
1. Parents who have time during the day can choose a day to have lunch with their child and see what’s being served.
2. If your child’s school has different options for each day, encourage your child to try them all.
3. A good tip that always works is packing your own healthy home-made lunch for the day. This can be done with all kinds of food, it can even be left overs from the night before.
