Choosing a Lunch
Ordering System?
School is where children begin to make free choices about
their lifestyle. School-age children learn quickly and are
influenced by friends and popular trends. Therefore, it is
an important time to talk about and promote healthy eating
habits. Involving children in planning and preparing their
lunch boxes allows them to learn about healthy eating and
make autonomous decisions about what they eat during
the day. Hot Lunch was introduced in 1999 as a growing
brand helping various charter schools and independent
schools to create a new way of thinking about
school
lunch online. This initial success suggests that more
people will benefit from the benefits offered by online
ordering systems. As a result, it was created to serve hot
meals and caterers that would benefit from an affordable,
functional online
ordering system. Since these modest
starts, hundreds of schools have used hot lunches and
processed orders for millions of meals, and we are just
getting started. Children have more control over what they
eat at school lunch than other meals. For example, a child
may choose to eat green beans or throw them away. A
child may also choose to eat an apple instead of an ice
cream sandwich. When choosing what to eat for Lunch, it
is vital
to make healthy choices. Here's why: Eating
various healthy foods can give you the energy to work,
help you grow the way you want to, and even keep you
from getting sick. Consider your lunch as the fuel to your
body. If you choose the wrong type of fuel, your energy
may run out before the end of the day. It is vital to help your
child form healthy eating habits early. Teach your children
what types of foods are healthy. It instills confidence in
them to make good choices. Set a strong example at
home. It affects the choices they make now and in the
future. Talk to your child about the importance of a healthy
meal. It gives them
enough energy to learn and stay
active. Packed Lunch is very
much more harmful than
what you eat at school. But packaged meals, if you do
them the right way, have an obvious benefit. When you
pack your Lunch, include your favourite healthy foods
- things you like. This is not a meal that suits everyone.
This is a
meal
just
for you. For
example,
if
your
favourite sandwich is
peanut butter and banana, make it and pack it - then you
can eat it for Lunch. Or you may like olives. Go ahead and

Lunch

Fruits and vegetables
are like hitting the jackpot for nutrition. They make your
plate more colourful and fill it with vitamins and fibre.

balanced diet, they mean a diet that is a mixture of food
groups: some grains, some fruits, some vegetables, some
meat or protein foods and some dairy products including
milk and cheese.
6.Skip the packed snacks- Most schools serve salty
snacks,
candies and sodas in restaurants or vending
machines. It is okay
to take these foods regularly, but they should not be on
your lunch menu.
7.Use your etiquette- Follow a simple rule that your
parents
always remind you of: Close your mouth and
chew. Do not talk and do not eat at the same time. Use
your characters. Put a handkerchief on your lap.
8.Do not drink milk and laugh at once- No matter what
you do at lunch, do not tell funny jokes to your friends
while drinking
milk.
