    nutrition standards
  • RDA for calories, protein, vit A, vit C, calcium
    and iron
  • 1/3 RDA for Lunch (Children 7-10, RDA for protein
    is 28g/d (1/3 of that is 9.3 g protein 1.5 oz
    turkey breast)
  • ΒΌ RDA for Breakfast

    SMI Review - ? 30 kcal from fat, lt 10 from
    saturated fat

12
Why do they sell hot dogs and pizza?
  • Hot dogs are usually low-fat turkey dogs, Pizza
    is low-fat pizza, Gravy is usually fat-free or
    low fat
  • Kid-friendly menus
  • Foods kids are familiar with
  • Dont want to lose money
  • Want kids to eat
  • Perception that kids wont like other foods

13
Foods in addition to NSLP
  • Schools may allow the sale of competitive foods
    in addition to NSLP meals (e.g. chips, candy
    bars, etc.)
  • National USDA policy in place since 1977 -
    Foods of minimal nutritional value (FMNV soda,
    gum, candy) not allowed to be sold in school
    cafeteria during meal periods
  • NEW TEXAS Policy! FMMV not allowed to be served
    to students at any time on school premises during
    school day (elementary)

    syrup as the first ingredient or 2nd ingredient
    following water

16
Why do kids eat/not eat certain foods?
  • Many reasons
  • We dont eat this stuff at my house.
    (availability of food in the home)
  • Chop Suey? Yuc! (What the food is called)
  • That looks like dog vomit! (The way the food
    looks)
  • I wouldnt try that if I were you. OR Eating
    in the lunch line is SO not cool. (Peer
    influences)
  • Have I tried this before? What IS that?
    (exposure)
  • My Dad hates broccoli! (Parents attitudes
    toward food)

17
Why do kids eat/not eat certain foods?
  • The vending machine is quicker, we wont have to
    wait in line. (Availability)
  • Lets hurry up and eat (or skip lunch) so we can
    go outside. (Other options)
  • It tastes funny. (Taste)
  • This food is good for you. (Health? Kids dont
    usually eat food for this reason)

18
  • Children will not automatically select healthy
    foods.
  • In order to develop lifelong healthy eating
    patterns, children need to be introduced to a
    variety of nutritious foods in a positive manner.
  • The environment has to support these behaviors.

Eat Smart Goals
  • Goals of CATCH Eat Smart
  • Provide children with tasty lower fat, saturated
    fat, and sodium school meals
  • Maintain required levels of essential nutrients
    and student participation
  • Coordinate healthy messages with the rest of the
    school

21
Four Target Areas of Eat Smart
  • Menu Planning
  • Food Purchasing
  • Food Preparation
  • Promotion

22
Food Purchasing
  • Pre-prepared foods from vendors (e.g. pizza and
    hamburger patties)
  • Produce/milk/other foods ingredients
  • Commodities supplied by Govt.
  • fruits and vegetables meats cheese or dry and
    canned beans fruit juices vegetable shortening
    and vegetable oils peanut products and others
  • Bonus commodities dried fruit, applesauce,
    turkey, frozen apricots

23
Food Preparation
  • Preparation Techniques
  • Bake potato products instead of frying
  • Use non-stick coating spray or pan liners instead
    of greasing pans
  • Reduce or eliminate fat and sodium added to
    pasta, vegetables, and rice
  • Defat ground beef
  • Make changes one step at a time

24
Food Production
  • Read and follow standardized recipes.
  • Measure ingredients precisely. DO NOT GUESS
    (even if its educated guessing!)
  • Serve using standard serving utensils

25
Promotion
  • Eat Smart connects cafeteria to classrooms
  • Use the cafeteria as the place children learn
    about healthy eating and nutrition

26
GO/SLOW/WHOA foods
  • GO Foods
  • GO foods contain the lowest amount of fat. GO
    foods are eaten more often than SLOW or WHOA
    foods.
  • SLOW Foods
  • SLOW foods are higher in fat than GO foods and
    lower in fat than WHOA foods. SLOW foods are
    eaten less often than GO foods and more often
    than WHOA foods.
  • WHOA Foods
  • WHOA foods are the highest in fat of the three
    groups. WHOA foods are eaten less often than GO
    or SLOW foods. In addition, any of the Foods of
    Minimal Nutritional Value (FMNV) such as soda,
    gum, and candy are considered WHOA foods although
    they do not contain any fat.
