PART 2: comprehension and expression ( 15 points ) Are we winning the junk food war?
Schools are taking a lead role to create a new food literacy By Randy Shore, Vancouver Sun November 14, 2013 It might be years before we know for sure if B.C. 1 has scored any kind of victory over childhood obesity. But I feel safe declaring that there is more healthy food in schools than at any time in my life. In many districts, the school canteens selling pop, chips and candy a staple of the student diet in my high school, which had no cafeteria have been gone so long they arent even a memory. Things arent perfect. For instance, teens march in droves to the local stores near my towns high school at every break to load up on candy. My own son leaves for school each day without a lunch. It was a battle for years and I lost. When he said I could force him to take food, which he would then throw in the garbage, I threw in the towel. I get up most mornings and cook him a large, hot breakfast and then let him fend for himself until school lets out. Hes in Grade 12 2, independent and intensely private. I choose to fight the battles I can win. And the debate over what our children eat at school and what is appropriate has historically been a bit of a battleground, not just at home, but at every level of government, too. Getting junk food out of schools took 20 years and it still isnt a decisive victory, but there are ministry guidelines for food and beverage sales in schools. A Toronto-area elementary school made the news recently for policing what kids bring in their lunch bags, using guidelines drafted by the schools parents. Forbidden items are sent back home. When I wondered on social media how comfortable B.C. parents and teachers are with this kind of snooping, I was accused of teacher shaming. Nootka elementary teacher Laura Clancy was kind enough to confirm what I suspected to be the case, that teachers do try to ensure their students bring healthy snacks to school and discourage junk food, but discreetly. At th e beginning of the year, kindergarten teachers meet with the parents and send home newsletters to parents suggesting healthy snacks, because its brain food, she said. When compliance is an issue, a school-wide notice to parents is used to avoid stigmatizing the children. A recent study by the Conference Board of Canada urged schools to incorporate food literacy education into official curriculum. The study cites research that suggests a strong correlation between nutritional knowledge and healthy eating h abits in children and teens. We do cover [nutrition], but like with many subjects what the teacher brings to the table is what the kids are going to get its teacher-driven, said Clancy. The B.C. School Fruit and Vegetable

Nutritional Program connects schools to local farms, which deliver fresh produce to the school every other week, 13 times during the school year. To participate, a sponsor teacher commits to using special course materials and incorporating the fruits and vegetables into lessons. Teachers and principals typically try to make farm-to-school foods available to all the students in the school as a stealthy way to provide healthy food to kids that show up hungry. Cooking facilities remain a huge obstacle to promoting food literacy in schools. Nootka, like many schools, has a paid hot lunch program, but no cafeteria. Vancouver school board food services manages 26 elementary school lunch programs, 12 breakfast programs and 18 cafeterias, according to Jennifer Cook, supervisor of food services for the VSB. My goal is to model sound nutritional practices for children, she said, At the elementary schools especially I try to expose children to foods they might not have at home or might not see often. Non-pizza fare may include chickpeas, lentils, pulled pork and vegetarian lasagna, she said. Farm to Cafeteria Canada, which provides the model for many in-school food programs, has identified the near or total absence of cooking facilities in schools as a major impediment to improving student nutrition. Does food literacy make a difference? I do see a difference, said Clancy. There are far fewer McDonalds meals being dropp ed off since I started teaching there.

Does food literacy make a difference? I do see a difference, said Clancy. There are far fewer McDonalds meals being dropped off since I started teaching there. C. Questions: 1. How did the government get junk food out of schools ? ( 1 and 2 - 30 words) The government has issued guidelines about food and drink sales in schools. Parents and teachers implement the instructions and make sure that pupils bring healthy food to school. They play an important role in the fight against junk food 2. How can schools get kids to eat healthier food ? ( 3 and 4 - 30 words)

It has been proved that food education gives pupils healthy eating habits. Therefore teachers try to integrate nutrition lessons in their classes: they have developed programmes with local farmers which enable them to expose children to fresh produce. Thus pupils have the choice of other alternative than junk food.
