Healthy Eating Programme at School
This report is being submitted concerning the new 'Healthy Eating Programme' being introduced at School. It is hoped that this report may help with developments.
The 'BYTEZONE'
The Bytezone is a catering facility in Coedylan School where food is available to buy. The Bytezone sells baguettes, slush puppies and some drinks. The Bytezone used to sell snacks in the vending machines but now have stopped.
Vending Machines
Some food and drink has been removed from the vending machines at the 'Bytezone.' There is a positive side to this and that is that there are shorter queues at the vending machines which means that the 'Bytezone' is not so

Also the price of these drinks has increased greatly the old bottles of water cost 40p and now all of these drinks cost 80p. If the school would like pupils to drink water rather than fizzy drinks then the school should install a water fountain/machine for pupils to get free water.
BACKGROUND
In the past, Coedylan Comprehensive has sold snacks such as Walkers crisps, varieties of chocolate and cookies and drinks such as Coca-Cola, Fanta, and Sprite.
* The availability of crisps has now been changed to Walkers 'Lites.' The reason for this was because the Walkers 'Lites' are supposed to have less fat than in original Walkers crisps. Tests have shown that there is no difference in the amount of fat so why has the school decided on changing the availability of crisps? Walkers have named their crisps 'Lites' because there are less crisps in the packet which means that the packet is lighter than the originals.
* Cookies were not served at the vending machines but were sold at the Bytezone. Coedylan has now reduced the serving of cookies to one week in a month. The reason for this is that the chocolate inside has too much fat. The Healthy Eating Programme is supposed to improve pupils' behaviour by not giving them as much sugar, if so then why are such snacks as cookies and
In life, many people participate in various daily events and activities that help them enjoy being who they are. People may enjoy getting together with friends, going to the mall, going to an amusement park or simply finding relaxation in nature. However, a big part of everyone’s life is of course eating and many people find pleasure in doing so. Eating is a very enjoyable and delectable must for everyone but should be done so, like everything in life, in a smart and intelligent way. Being smart and perceptive when eating is a large part of nutrition.
To determine the level of my fiber intake from a 3 day sample of my diet, I performed a Prospective Diet Analysis. On average, I consumed 22.3 grams of fiber, just missing the recommendation of 25 grams. Coherent to the findings of the related studies, my cholesterol intake decreased and by the third day totaled 124.5 mg, which relates to 42% of the Daily Recommended Intake of 300 mg.

It is not often that people think about a nice piece of celery with peanut butter or a spinach salad with a fantasy food daydream.
Healthy food should be accessible to everyone. If healthy food isn’t available for everyone all it’s going to do is cause more and more health problems. If we made healthy organic food the same price as cheap unhealthy food there would be a big difference in the health of our country. It’s completely unfair to make healthy food too expensive for other people to buy, which causes them to buy cheap unhealthy food, like off a dollar menu at a fast food restaurant. This issue needs to be put to an end.
Junk food, junk food, junk food is around all corners of schools. Chocolate, cookies, soda, potato chips, and Sour Strings may sound delectable to some people, but are they nutritious? Some people wonder if there should be a change. Encouraging exceptional nutrition in schools is essential by reasons of students will consume foods that are better for them, schools will pay less for meals, and fewer students would go hungry.

When something is detrimental to our health, we strive to avoid it whenever possible to extend our lives. We know that exposure to known cancer causing agents such as asbestos and lead paint is harmful; therefore, we do not expose ourselves to the risk and we certainly do not eat it. This seems simple; however, what do we do when that harmful vice is food? We cannot stop eating; instead, we must closely examine what we are putting into our bodies. When faced with the choice of a burger or grilled vegetables, most would choose the burger. These choices have lead us down a path littered with food related diseases, illnesses and rising healthcare costs. The state of Americans health is declining due to increasing obesity, diabetes and

Since we have been learning about nutrition in class, our task was to record a food log. Nutrition requires a well-balanced diet containing nutrient and vitamins like amino acids and fatty acids. Over the past seven days I have been recording and have been looking very carefully at my intake of nutrients, minerals, vitamins, and fats. In our task, the objective was to record the basic foods we ate during the period of seven, but it did not require recording every single detail or our intake of food. Doing this food log was a pain and it was disturbing because I never wrote about what I ate like breakfast, lunch, dinner, or additional meals. I found this food log useful because it helped me learn what I
Healthy eating is the right choice for everyone’s body, how many of the people know are eating healthy these days? There are many benefits to the body when people eat healthy. The three benefits that point out are keeping a healthy weight, preventing health problems and acquiring more energy. Even though there are people who think there are no health risks when they avoid eating healthy, eating healthy helps them have a healthier body, and prevent diseases and other risks to the body. Some reasons people may avoid healthy eating are that they are not financially able to buy the necessary items to have a healthy diet or that they just don’t know how to maintain a healthful diet. Everyone’s body is different so
The Dining Hall at State University is bustling with kids in sweatshirts and pajama pants. The make-your-own Belgian waffle line is long and students are complaining about the lack of forks. Phrases like “I got wicked smashed last night,” and “I really need a cup of coffee” can be heard around the tables. It’s typical Sunday morning on campus.
How does healthy eating affect your life? Many people really pay attention to the food they put in their bodies, until we get sick and need medical attention. I know that many of us love to eat fast food, but it catches up with us in the long run. While eating healthy would stop you from getting sick, and lower the cost of health care, healthy eating can enrich your body and prevent you from getting high doctor bills.
Staying healthy and eating right is a lifestyle that many people should consider. A juicy hamburger from McDonalds dripping with special sauce topped with cheese is not exactly considered a healthy meal. Our society today is busy and on the go at all times. It is so much easier to stop and get fast food and then continue on. However, we should stop and think; is it really worth it to not eat right and exercise?
