School can 'encourage children to try healthy family recipes'
Parents concerned about their children's eating habits have been reassured that school is the best place for kids to test out healthy family recipes and banish any fussiness.
A recent survey from the School Food Trust found that four out of five children had tried food at school lunches that they had not tried at home.
Arnold Fewell, spokesperson for myschoollunch.co.uk, agreed with the findings, stating that school is one of the best places to encourage a more adventurous attitude to food.
"It is a great way for children, especially fussy eaters, to start to enjoy food. I think it is really important that we encourage children to love good food from an early stage and school meals can play a very important part in that," he said.
Mr Fewell went on to say that some parents might not be aware how much school meals have changed, stating there is nowhere else that a healthy two course meal is on offer for £2 or less.
