Sending Healthy Snacks to School

One big area we as parents miss on our children's nutrition is at school were they spend the majority of the day. Many schools fund programs within the school selling junk food.

Little history here; I had the pleasure of teaching my wife's classes for 3 months after she broke her ankle and had to have surgery. 1st through 6th grades. I had cafeteria duty in the morning for breakfast so I saw this every day for 3 months. Little children would come in eat and then get the chance to buy junk food usually very high sugar stuff. The schools are hooked on this easy money and push the junk on our children at such a young age they are easy prey for this unhealthy behavior and this leads to unhealthy choices throughout their lives.

Are your children doing this as well? If you can't answer this question most likely they are either during a break or at lunch so it is really important you ask them and then lets plan a day at school for them.

Start out with a good breakfast then as kids are they get hungry so give them something to put in their pocket or purse that will add fuel to the body. I recommend Clif Bars or if your a bigger guy Chief's Jays Protein Bars are a good choice.

Point is send something that gives your child a healthy choice. This is ahuge selection now available for this Healthy Snacks.

School nutrition is very important don't depend on the school to teach your children, as they make money off your children by pushing the junk food. Proper nutrition is a responsibility of the parent please that the time after reading this to begin helping them today.
