Abafunda esikoleni esiphakathi badla izithelo eziningi futhi balahle ukudla okuncane ngaphansi kwemithetho emisha yasemini
Lapho iNhlangano Yase-US idlulisa uMthetho wezeMpilo, iNhlanhla-Free Kids Act ngo-2010, kwakusho ukuguqulwa kwamazinga okudla kokufunda esikoleni (izidingo zesikole sasemini kanye nezinhlelo zokudla kwasekuseni ezixhaswe nguhulumeni wesifundazwe). Lezo zindinganiso ezintsha zaphakanyiswa iphaneli labachwepheshe bezokwelapha futhi zaqaliswa ngo-2012. Futhi zihlangane ngokugxeka okusheshayo: I-pizza ene-wheat-whole crust?
Izithelo nemifino ephoqelelwe? Izingane ngeke zimelele! Bazolahla ukudla kwabo kwasemini kudoti kunokuba badle imifino edingekayo noma ukudla okunewosawoti omncane, ushukela, amafutha nama-khalori kunalokho abakujwayele.
Ngaphandle kwalokho akuzange kwenzeke. Ucwaningo lweminyaka emithathu lwabafundi ezikoleni eziyi-12 eziphakathi lwahlaziya ukukhethwa kokudla, ukusetshenziswa, nokuchitha konke kokubili ngaphambi kokuba izindinganiso zisezingeni nasemuva. Esikhundleni sokuxosha ukudla okungaphezulu, izingane empeleni ziyakwazi ukudla ukudla okusheshayo okunomsoco.
Okunye okuvelele kokucwaninga, okuholwa yi-Rudd Centre yokuPhatha inqubomgomo nokukhuluphala e-University of Connecticut:
- Izithelo eziningi, sicela: Ama- pre-standard, cishe ingxenye yengane yakhetha izithelo ukudla kwasemini. Izindinganiso zokuthunyelwe, inombolo yaphakama ibe yizingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu. Futhi empeleni badla lezo apula, amapheya, namagilebhisi? Yebo, cishe ngesilinganiso esifanayo njengoba babehlala njalo.
- Ukuhlukahluka okunye okunye: Uma izikole zinikeza izinhlobo eziningi zezithelo, izingane zazinamathuba amaningi okuzithatha njengengxenye yesidlo sakusihlwa.
- Amagogu amaningi ahlaselwa: Ngemva kokuba izindinganiso zishintshe, izingane azizange zibeke imifino eminingi emapulatifini azo kwasemini. Kodwa badla okungaphezulu kwalokho abakhethayo, ukwenyuka kwenani lamabhegi adliwe ngokubhebhethekiswa emgqonyeni.
- Imfucuza encane: Ngokuphambene nokwesaba okuvamile, izingane azilaleli izinguqulo ezinempilo zasemini, njengezinkwa ezigcwele okusanhlamvu kanye ne-pasta. Badla okuningi kunabo ngaphambili, baxosha amaphesenti angu-16 kuphela (phakathi kwamaphesenti angu-29 ngaphambi kokuguqulwa kokudla).
"Lolu cwaningo lufakazela ubufakazi bokuthi amazinga okudla okunomsoco we National School Lunch Program angaphumelela ekusizeni abafundi ukuba badle impilo enhle," kusho uMarlene Schwartz, Ph.D., umbhali oholayo wocwaningo kanye nomqondisi weRudd Centre. "Abanye baye babonisa ukukhathazeka ngesidingo sokuba abafundi bathathe izithelo noma imifino," kusho uSchwartz. "Sibona impendulo enhle kakhulu kubafundi."
Abaholi besikole bayavuma
Lolu cwaningo lusekela okufundwa kwesinye isifundo, esisodwa esibuza izikhulu kanye nabahlinzeki bezinsiza zokudla esikoleni uma izingane zithanda ukudla okusha. Benza, kusho amaphesenti angu-70 abaholi esikoleni esiphakathi nezikole zasepuladini (iphesenti laliphansi kakhulu ezikoleni eziphakeme, cishe amaphesenti angu-63). Futhi yebo-lolu cwaningo lwabonisa ukuthi izingane zikhononda ekuqaleni. Kodwa zingakapheli izinyanga eziyisithupha, babamukele ukudla okusha. Abaholi besikole esiphezulu babika ukuthi inani elifanayo labafundi, noma ngaphezulu, belithenga ukudla esikoleni ngemuva kokubuyekezwa kokudla okunomsoco.
