The School Lunch
AS much care is needed in selecting and preparing the food for the child's lunch at school as for the other meals served to the child. If the lunch is inadequate or lacking in food essentials throughout the school year, the child's whole nutrition will be seriously affected, and his work at school will suffer. The school lunch is one of three meals, not just a "snack," and should possess the following characteristics:
1. It should be abundant in amount for a hungry, healthy child. A little too much is better than too little.
2. It should be chosen with regard to the nutritive needs of the child and in relation to the whole day's food.
3. It should be clean, appetizing, wholesome and attractive.
Food Selection Chart For Children
Select from the following chart and make the school lunch bear its full share of responsibility for carrying the foods the child needs.
Milk - 3/4 to 1 quart daily.
Vegetables - Two servings daily (in addition to potatoes). Fruit - Two servings daily (fresh, canned or dried), one of fresh fruit or fresh or canned tomatoes if possible. Cereals - Whole cereal bread, usually. Whole cereal breakfast food, usually. Water - 1 1/2 quarts liquid daily (may be included in other foods).
