Organic food: Some communities (departments) authorities are subsidizing school meals so that parents pay the same for food and instead enjoy a healthy meal (not been grown with pesticides or any chemicals) and more flavorful.

Buy directly from small local producers: some schools are organized to buy, to the extent possible, the maximum number of foods directly to small local producers. On the one hand always get a good price because there are no middlemen, the producer receives a fair price and food should not be transported very far from contributing to less pollution.

Assist in the organic waste recycling: many cities already have collection of organic waste (food scraps) School canteens generate a lot of leftovers and if we teach students to throw the leftovers into suitable containers are more likely to do likewise at home. It is a good awareness of the environment.

In the classes of Natural Sciences to review, among all review, what you eat each student: the other students (once it has studied the proteins, carbohydrates and other nutrients) will try to see how they could correct that seeing food diet is taking which takes too much and little. This would not judge but help us to reflect on how our diet is.

Involved in the preparation of the menus discussed in class once the necessary nutrients and foods containing them could be developed between all of the menu.

Collaborate, on time, in the preparation of food: school meals each day may have a few helpers (at work without risk) to help in the kitchen (a specific period of time) With that motivation is more normal than was first better eat lunch and second supports at home want to help. Usually the kids get to broaden their diet as they begin to experiment in the kitchen.

Try foods from other cultures: cooking foods from other cultures is also a form of cultural integration by all. First in class, students (or their parents) may explain the typical dishes, which use food, how to cook, condiments, etc.. It’s an excuse to talk about geography (where is that country), religion (if different), economics (agricultural type) of nature (climate zone, type of crops, etc..), Etc.. Among all can decide, also taking into account the complexity of the recipe or get those ingredients, you want to try to counter students.

Conclusion on school meals
Be aware of what and how we eat is a key issue in our health. This “subject” should be key in the education of any person and that depends on its most precious asset: their health. Dietary habits that we take will last almost forever, when we are adults.
