So what do French kids eat at school?
Almost all foods are prepared right in the kitchen; they’re not ready-made frozen.
(Check out these photos of a school lunch being prepared on premises.)
Below are photos and a description of one week’s worth of school menus.
The local bakery delivers bread, a staple of every French meal, every morning.
And every two days, there is at least one organic item on the menu.
Once a month, an entirely organic meal is served.
The only drink offered at lunchtime is filtered tap water, served in glass pitchers.
Just as important: how the kids eat.
What about exercise?
What the French specialize in is moving all the time, not just during gym class.
Sometimes they walk to the local retirement home to sing songs for the elderly.
“Even the youngest children in preschool walk together every week,” explains Cahuzac.
Making the French attitude work for us, too.
So what can we do to promote better eating and moving habits for our children stateside?
