Food For Thought

Food For Thought!

If you need to blink do it know, no matter how strange it might be remember all of it...

Once again today we had Chloe come in, I had learned that kids should only have 5 teaspoons of added sugar a day, she taught us how to read labels and that most adults don't know how to read labels. She also taught us how much sugar is in drinks and cereals, Here is a picture of what cereals are good and bad. 

I was really surprised about Corn Flakes.

Here is the standards: <10g of fat per 100g

If breakfast cereal contains nut and seed guideline is <25g of fat per 100g

<10g of sugar per 100g

If breakfast cereal contains dried fruit guideline is <25g of sugar per 100g

<400mg of Sodium per 100g

>5g of Fibre per 100g

Here is a picture of drinks and how much sugar are in, please do keep in mind that milk is all natural sugar...

Hey everyone, today Rimu Class had a visitor from Heart Foundation. Her name is Chloe I known her from last year. She taught us what is good and what is bad for us. She will be coming back on Wednesday and Thursday. Today we made a food triangle it is made up of 4 main groups, bread and cereal, fruit and vegetables, meat and last but not least dairy. One fact that really surprised me was the Rice is a kind of cereal. I will be posting about this everyday Chloe is here, so look out for those posts. Next time, we will be learning how to read labels.
