1. I played about with colour for the background and thought a plain with a
little colour was best. - Good Idea!! Looks clear and nicely presented
What is the Eatwell Plate?
I wanted the video to play in screen but to no avail! any suggestions?
????!!!! I looked into video and it looks too difficult to learn how to do it in
the time scale that we have.
We need to take out the text that says made by BNF (the EatWell Plate is
copyrighted to the Food Standards Agency)
Can we just have the link on the second page instead?
Just had a quick look, its coming together!! As you will see Jo has made
comments so if we adhere to them should be ok.
I loved this image of old BOGH plate, is there too much text? - Yes A little

The eat well plate helps you get the balance right. It shows how much of what you
eat should come from each food group. Click to watch The Eatwell Plate video.
I liked the facts, so I thought 'Did you know facts' might be good.
On the Eatwell Plate there are 5 different food groups
The Eatwell Plate consists of 1. Bread Cereals Potatoes Rice and other starchy foods
2. Fruit and vegetables
5 different food groups. 3. Milk and dairy foods
4. Meat, Fish, Eggs and other non dairy sources of protein,
5. Food and drinks that are high in fat and/or sugar

starchy foods.

4. ooh - that's the adult recommended salt intake- in fact it's much less for
children depending on age
Let's make our children aware! How about a myth buster here -
By using the eatwell plate, we can promote healthy eating It's fairly common for people to assume that eggs go in the dairy section for
throughout a whole school approach. example, or that potatoes go in the fruit and veg section - probably
because that's where they are int he supermarket. People also assume that
butter will go in the dairy section because it's made of milk - but actually,
it's only the fat part of the milk - so all fat!!

Ways to promote healthy foods in the canteen
Need to leave this for later.
Only take up incentives or sponsorships by companies
offering healthy food choices.
Only display advertising materials from
companies if they depict healthy food
choices.
Ask students to design colourful posters of
healthy foods to display in the canteen.
Present healthy foods attractively and at eye
level at the front of the canteen.
Advertise and promote healthy food items
and healthy ‘meal deals’ in the school
newsletter.
Quite like this one.
