Like many moms, I too worry bout my kids getting addicted to Junk Food. Kids are so fond of Lays,Burgers,Pizza,Bicuits, Fries etc. HAving them once in a while isn't harmful, but having them regularly over a period of time, make them addicted to such stuff. It is the responsibilty of us parents, to keep our these habits from invading our kids. Initially I would pack my kids snacks with all these ready-to-eat food but these days we try our best to avoid such snacks, as we found that our kids keep asking for such snacks all the time. With many lifestyle diseases prevalent, its better that we teach our kids from childhood the importance of including fruits and vegetables into our daily diet to remain healthy. Thankfully my kids' school has a snack chart and they have strictly DISallowed Junk Food from class 1 onwards, during snak time and lunch time. Their weekly chart is as follows:
Monday-fruits
Tuesday-sprouts
wednesday-vegetables(grated carrot)
Thursday -dry fruits
Friday-Fruit salad
This method help parents too .
One Snack which my kids have begun to like is this simple Easy-to- make Veg Sandwich.
It needs the following:
2 slices of Brown Bread
Butter to be spread on one side
Very thins slices of cucumber and tomato just enuff to fill in the 2 slices
A little salt and a little pepper.
