Why is a healthy tuck shop important?

• Children learn in school about good nutrition and how to make healthy eating choices. The school environment needs to properly support this education by ensuring that food provided on the school grounds are in line with the accepted guidelines for children’s nutrition.
• Children need access to healthy options. Research shows that having lots of opportunities as a child to make healthy food choices has a big impact on whether healthy eating becomes a life-long habit.
• People often assume healthy means more expensive however Lunch House has developed ways to provide affordable good food.
• Good food equates to good health. Children are most vulnerable to poor nutrition, both because they cannot control their sources of food and because their bodies are still growing. Good food is a basic requirement for the growing of healthy bodies and it is essential if children are going to learn well. As the seminal places of learning, schools play a critical role in ensuring that children have healthy bodies and minds.
