CAFETERIA The school lunch program is a part of an over-all program to help children grow better in mind and body and spirit. It is a vital part of school living and from it the children and all who work in it will learn many things. Children must have not only a sufficient amount of food but also the right kind of food if they are to be healthy. A respect for all foods and the contribution each makes to health and happiness should be understood by all. For good nutrition children should consume the following foods every- day : Milk—1 quart. Vegetables—2 servings, one green or yellow. Fruit—2 servings, one citrus or tomato and one other such as apple or prune. Potato—1 serving. Egg—3 or 4 a week, preferably one a day. Meat, fish, dry peas or beans—One a day. Whole grain or enriched cereal and bread. Butter or margarine fortified with Vitamin A—At every meal. Dessert—If appetite allows, after the other foods listed have been eaten. For many children the lunch served at school is the main meal of the day. It is important, therefore, that the noon meal consist of foods from as many as possible of the above-mentioned groups as possible and constitute a very substantial portion of the day’s requirements. Recognizing that perhaps health, more than any other factor, except mental ability, determines the quality of school work which a pupil does, our school has accepted the responsibility of helping to improve the general health of our school children by providing simple, health building foods at low cost, providing an opportunity for children to learn to eat foods that build health and encourag- ing children to consume more fruits, vegetables, eggs, meat and dairy products.
