It’s National School Lunch Week, and many articles I’ve read in the news deserve a nod in my newly instated link-round up “Around the Lunch Table“. I’ll be posting links to stories across the web which deal with all aspects of healthy lunches – politics, how-to tips, recipes and more.
While packing a healthy lunch is an important part of keeping a balanced diet, saving money, and eating well, the national school lunch program is a vital government effort that needs an overhaul. As a nation, we are experiencing a failing education system, rising childhood obesity, and the food that our kids are being fed is pitiful, to say the least. It’s no coincidence that these are all integrally linked.
Let’s hope that making this a national issue will lead to active changes in schools across the country.
Whole lot of healthy lunch links and tips in this post, comes from prospective of school lunches which is not to everyone's taste, but, include links across the whole healthy eating spectrum. Worth a look. Go to healthy lunch ideas for more resources.
