,
Canada, the land .of good
and plenty, rich in natural
resources and food pro.duc-
.,
tion. But Canadians, despite
their' natural' assets,
generally have diets that are
poor in nutrition and protein.
• We eat plenty of food but we,
seldom eat good food.
In an effort to increase
nutritional awareness the
eleme`ntary and.. secondary
school students of the
Goderich area are in the
midst of Nutrition Week in the
schools. Nutrition Week,
officially proclaimed so by
the" ermario Ministry of
Health, is one set aside to
enable students to increase
interest and enthusiasm
towards healthy food habits.
"We are a snacking nation
and 'what we're telling the
students is if you snack then,
do it right," said Victoria
Public school family studies
(home economics) teacher
Marilyn Bruinsma.
The elementary. school
teacher Is working closely
with the Victoria.school nurse
Joanne.Jasper to educate the
students in' good nutrition.
The emphasis of the
education is not to try to avoid
snacks but rather to' eat good
food at snack time.
"We are living in a very
mobile society and we tend to
haye more snacks than'Sit
. •
down meals," said the school
nurse. "The aim of Nutrition
Week is not to encourage'
cutting out snacks but to
improve the quality of snack
foods."
Classroom displays and
discussions are being used to
promote healthy diets. The
-Victoria scho,91 students have
gathered a wide variety of
food iims and catalogued
them to support the claim
that Canadians do not eat
well. .
Cheese and crackers, a
bowl of nuts or fruit, ice
cream or other milk desserts
washed down with a cold
glass of milk or a milk shake
are excellent snacking items
according to the Victoria
findings. •
Candy, chocolate bars and
a soft drink are better off left
.on the store counter.Potato
chips are on the border, line.
Eaten occasionally they have
some benefits but eaten on a
regular basis they do more
harm than good.
Th'e students of GDCI have
gone into nutrition in a little
more depth. A survey done by
the Grade 12 family studies
class showed that the
majority of.the students
surveyed were concerned
about good ,nutrition and will.,
eat nutritious food' if it is
available,
