| You are sitting in class and you are very hungry．Finally the bell rings and it’s time for lunch－Woo-hoo！After several hours in class you should have a chance to go to the dining room．and sit down。relax and enjoy the happy time together with your friends over a lunchtime meal．But wait a moment－Ⅵmat exactly are you eating？’ Compared with other meals．kids have more choices of what they eat for lunch at school．A kid can choose to cat green vegetables or throw them away．A kid can also choose to eat an apple instead of an ice cream sandwich． When choosing what to eat for lunch．making a healthy choice is really important．Here’s why：Eating different healthy foods helps you grow the way you should and can even keep you from getting sick． What does a healthy lunch look like？We will give you some fight answers to that question． Most kids have the choice of packing lunch or buying one at sch001．The good news is that a kid can get a healthy lunch by doing either one because some meals and foods sold in the school‘s dining room are very healthy for you． The typical school lunch is still higher in fat than it should be．according to a study．That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t buy your lunch．It just means you might want to give the menu a closer look．Read the menu the night before．Knowing what。s for lunch beforehand will let you know whether you want to eat it！ A packed lunch isn’t always healthier than the one you buy at sch001．If you pack chocolate cakes and potato chips that’s not a healthy meal！But a packed lunch；if done in the right way does have a clear advantage．when you pack your lunch．be sure it includes your favorite healthy foods．It’s a meal just for you．If your favorite sandwich is peanut butter and bananas just make it and pack it－then you can eat it for lunch．Go and pack them！ If you want to pack your lunch you’ll need some help from your parents．Talk to them about what you like to eat for lunch so that they can prepare t110se foods for you．This is nice of them．But you may want to watch how they do it and ask if you can start making your lunches yourself．It’s a way to show that you're growing up． |
