Last week, we look at how important food choices are in order to stay healthy.

First, have a look at these statements and decide if you think they are true or false.

  • Look at the palm of your hand. Your body needs only the size of your palm of protein (meat, fish, etc) every day to get all of the necessary nutrients.
  • If you ate lots of fruit yesterday, you don’t need to worry about eating any today.
  • Potatoes are a good source of carbohydrate.
  • It is a good idea to skip breakfast.
  • Vegetarians are healthier than people who eat meat and fish.
  • Milk, yogurts, cheese and other dairy foods are important for growth and help to form strong bones and teeth.
  • Chocolate and sweets should be banned.
  • Children need to eat the same amount as adults.
  • Beans and lentils fit into two areas of the Eat Well Plate: protein AND fruits/vegetables.
