What needs to change?
1. Children and their parents:
– Knowledge? “Necessary but not sufficient”
– How we feel – our emotional response to food
– What skills we have – Interpreting information, cooking, planning, parenting
2. The food environment:
– Availability
– Affordability
– Advertising and marketing

Educating children about Food & Health in school
• Balance food literacy and emotional literacy • Cross curricular food & health work: Home Ec.,
Science, PSE, Social subjects, English….
• Political engagement in mapping, challenging and improving the food environment
![Page 16: •Establishing links between diet & mood, behaviour and learning … Rex - NHS Highland.pdf · 2014-02-28 · The Impact of Diet on the Mood, Behaviour and Learning of Children](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042108/5e87cbe63dff681b76760772/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Why school meals matter?
• Do as we do, not as we say
• Limited choice
• Modelling “balanced” choices
• Benefits of peer modelling
• Shared social experience
