School Lunch

This video is a great summary on how to improve your child's lunch diet through a combination of methods. The video mentions the role parents play in the school lunch menu and how simply speaking up can make a difference for the better. Often changes are made from the bottom up, so don’t feel your opinions don’t matter because they do.

In case you aren’t immediately successful in implementing a change in the school’s meals, the video also explains a simple lunch you can make at home for your child to bring to school. Some basic food substitutions can save your child almost 500 calories in one meal, so don’t be afraid to read the nutrition label.
