nutrition to go Back-to-school season means hungry kids and hectic schedules, but don’t sacrifice nutrition because everyone is busy. Start kids off right by packing a sack lunch that will fuel active minds and bodies all day long. text staci scheurenbrand photography tobin bennett 14 seasons back to school 2011
Although most U.S. schools participate in the National School Lunch Program, many kids still do not get an adequate variety of low-fat, high-energy, nutrient-dense foods at their midday meal. A simple, costeffective solution is packing wholesome homemade meals, which provide kids the energy they need and establish healthy eating habits. SMART EATING While the trend toward mega-size portions is most evident in restaurants and fast-food establishments, food from home shares some blame. In a renewed effort to help the nation get a grip on its out-ofcontrol eating, the the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has replaced the food guide pyramid, which was first published in 1992. Given the current obesity problem, it’s safe to say that the pyramid had only limited impact. The USDA is now promoting the MyPlate program (www.choosemyplate.gov), which offers nutrition advice in the form of a colorful dinner-plate graphic. Shown are four compartments for nutritious food groups—fruits, grains, vegetables and proteins. There’s also a glass of milk on the side. That’s it. No ounces, no cups, no long-winded instructions. Instead, the graphic delivers such implied messages as enjoy food but eat less, control portions, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and get plenty of whole grains. Enlist children in deciding what’s for lunch. “By getting the kids involved in choosing, preparing and packing their own lunches, they are more motivated to eat what they pack and learn good eating habits in the process,” says Julie Gieseman, a registered dietitian at <strong>Hy</strong>-<strong>Vee</strong> in West Des Moines. For quick guidance about nutrition, look for NuVal scores when shopping. “Simply select products with higher NuVal scores to trade up for health and even your ‘sometimes’ foods will have a nutritional advantage over regular lunchbox fare,” says Gieseman. WHAT A BODY NEEDS The message of the old USDA food pyramid was lost on many. The new My- Plate chart, below, couldn’t be simpler. You should eat fruits, veggies, grains, protein and dairy every day. That’s the message. seasons hy-vee.com 15
