I was thinking that along with cereals, bread, etc, some big sacks of lovely fresh carrots, apples, oranges etc would be a cheap and tasty thing to provide. Plus the kids need more protein to actually learn. Eggs would be great. Making sure children are well fed and healthy is such an important investment for a country to make and will save SO much money in the long run and result in much more productive people. Must be so hard to be a teacher in one of those classes. (It also made me realise how out of touch with reality I probably am as even the first classes lunchboxes did not look super healthy on the whole!)Nickynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210621398631776410.post-77601275246875928582012-09-21T08:56:03.260+12:002012-09-21T08:56:03.260+12:00I agree with you Frances.

Molti non hanno neppure la cartella. Non hanno niente e mangiano una volta al giorno. Se sopravvivono non imparano a scuola (come si fa ad imparare a pancia vuota?) diventano grandi e non sanno leggere, finiscono in un ciclo di povertà cronica, con ragazze madri, disoccupazione e criminalità. I bambini devono mangiare, gli cambia la vita!Alessandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12616072198034545392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210621398631776410.post-35454758023723182922012-09-21T08:49:45.655+12:002012-09-21T08:49:45.655+12:00Cuoca Garia, al momento c'e' un governo di...Cuoca Garia, al momento c'e' un governo di destra, e non potrebbe fregargliene di meno, anche perche' sono quasi tutti i bambini poveri sono maori o polinesiani.Alessandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12616072198034545392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210621398631776410.post-27943331449481804412012-09-21T04:26:47.257+12:002012-09-21T04:26:47.257+12:00Sono seriamente schockata dal video, non pensavo c...Sono seriamente schockata dal video, non pensavo che ci fosse una situazione simile in Nuova Zelanda! Insomma, un conto è dire che i bambini di famiglie più povere mangiano meno sano, questo vale in qualsiasi paese: pasta, pane ecc costano meno di carne, frutta e verdura. Da qui a dire che i bambini mangiano una volta al giorno però, ne passa. Ma lo stato non prevede un aiuto per le famiglie? Possibile che non sifaccia nulla?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14646955715178931846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210621398631776410.post-42276338412118354272012-09-20T22:01:09.456+12:002012-09-20T22:01:09.456+12:00Chapeau Alessandra!Io credo che i bambini siano sp...Chapeau Alessandra!Io credo che i bambini siano spugne ed assorbano l'esempio che hanno di fronte.Vero che il palato cambia col tempo ma, ci sono modi furbi per cacciare le verdure nelle pietanze e farle piacere!<br />Sulla bellezza del lunchbox non ho altre parole, superb!<br />bacione sperando che altri ti prendano ad esempio ;)Sarettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156928276743100714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210621398631776410.post-86044791147742219052012-09-20T21:50:59.002+12:002012-09-20T21:50:59.002+12:00Thank you for posting this Alessandra, the news it...Thank you for posting this Alessandra, the news item was shocking to see. And the current government doesn't think there is a poverty line in NZ... It is heartbreaking that those kids go to school without lunch, or a very unhealthy one.

Ecco si, c'era una pesca. Con tutto il rispetto per il prosciutto e formaggio ( io non sono vegetariana ) penso che davvero bisogna iniziare a educare i bimbi a mangiare meglio, a cominciare da quello che si portano a scuola! <br />Però credo che da noi non c'e ne siano tanti che fin da piccoli mangiano così tanta verdura!<br />.....il tuo è ovviamente anche bellissimo!!<br /> Ciaofranci e valehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09060265231579252458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210621398631776410.post-30662151899515355052012-09-20T17:14:06.932+12:002012-09-20T17:14:06.932+12:00This is such an interesting issue to write about. ...This is such an interesting issue to write about. I have found bento style lunchboxes very appealing for my oldest daughter - onigiri in particular. Most of the time the food is still very low cost, just requires a little bit of thought to achieve. I find if I don't think ahead how to use leftovers/ make the most of fresh produce then the quality of the lunch slips. Frozen soybeans are my best emergency back-up!Make-do Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14639985201816342427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210621398631776410.post-29718967654843922152012-09-20T16:35:16.476+12:002012-09-20T16:35:16.476+12:00Ovviamente è bellissimo il lunch box preparato da ...Ovviamente è bellissimo il lunch box preparato da te, e molto sano.<br />Speriamo che qualcuno possa prendere esempio, almeno per il contenuto...Araba Felicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13199507496390304815noreply@blogger.com
