Investigating links between eating disorders, increased illnesses and nutrition.
Implementing best practice curriculum in nutrition education.
Involving staff, students and their families in the processes of achieving these.
This area of our Health Promoting Schools program is not always an easy one. Sometimes it feels as if we are not moving very far very fast. There are strong feelings about the kinds of food we sell in our canteen, lets face it at our school which one is more appetizing a tray of chips with gravy and cheese or a salad roll, but to further dampen this problem it is more expensive to buy the healthier option. .
The fatty foods that we supply in our canteen is increasing the amount of problems in our later lives, it is the ideal teenager thing to say, that healthy eating is boring, disgusting and not the cool thing to do, but if we could make them realize that the fatty food we consume now hurts us in the long run with the increase the risk of:.
Breast cancer in women.
