Are Healthy Organic School Dinners on the Increase?

Jamie Olivers campaign to improve school dinners has galvanized politicians and parents together. Even the Prime Minister has said that if changes are made participation will only be a few months before the health, education and agriculture can be affected Britain for the better. This could be the biggest revolution in the food that Britain has ever seen. This is needed is real commitment to this change, funds from the central government to support them.
In response to calls from a Jamie Oliver school revolution dinner, the Prime Minister also said that school kitchens will be rebuilt and equipped so dishes can be cooked food from the first, while for women the skills to cook dinner to help them create a delicious menu.
Since the autumn of 2006, school meals in Britain would exclude chips, chocolate, soft drinks and low-quality meat. School children will be served at least two servings of fruits and vegetables with meals and fried foods will be limited to two per week. Foods high in salt and fat from the school canteen is also prohibited.
From parents, many people want to learn to eat better for their children and to swap junk food for both organic and fresh local food, but there are pictures in newspapers from several countries parents receive food orders at the school gate and go buy burgers, chips and other unhealthy diet and then sent to the children and others from them. This is clearly damaging what Jamie Oliver and the Prime Minister is trying to do, in case they have to wear a uniform and consistent with certain rules, why can not eat these foods include green green and healthy? When they come home so they can wear and eat what they want. it will not kill them to eat five meals a week is healthy? Wake up! It also reminds me of Ian Wright (Arsenal's former famous football player in the UK) television program recently about children is unfair, he tries his best to involve them during the exercise to reduce obesity levels and when he struggled he asks their parents to lead by example ... .. many of them refuse!
Back healthy eating again ... Soil Association is encouraging the use of organic products and local foods food by running workshops for life in the area of interest. This is a workshop day for key stage two pupils. It is run with the land Department of Primary Education. This workshop gives children the opportunity to consider healthy foods, local and organic food through selected topics.
Schools also need information on good practice when the source of healthy food for school meals. Schools can improve children's increasing understanding of their diet through farm visits, and classroom activities. Wouldnt it be great if all schools could have a garden so the children can find food that is not derived from the package or just magically appear in stores?
To encourage children to eat healthy at home why not make soup with organic vegetables, while they can make their own smoothies in the blender with milk or organic yogurt and fresh or frozen. I'm sure the children can enjoy the difference. All children in my family loves organic yogurt, and organic snacks they have dried fruit.
