Pupils are given the likes and dislikes of a made up person on a card. They have to pick out a meal that is balanced and will suit the person. (example: dislikes crunchy food, dislikes tomato, likes sweet stuff, likes peppers)

The guidelines are directed at the general population from the age of 2 years. Between the ages of 2 and 5 years, children should start moving towards the diet depicted in the Eatwell Guide.

1. Eat at least 5 portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables every day.

2. Base meals on potatoes, bread, rice, pasta or other starchy carbohydrates; choosing wholegrain versions where possible.

3. Have some dairy or dairy alternatives (such as soya drinks); choosing lower fat and lower sugar options.

4. Eat some beans, pulses, fish, eggs, meat and other proteins (including 2 portions of fish every week, one of which should be oily).

5. Choose unsaturated oils and spreads and eat in small amounts

6. Drink 6-8 cups/glasses of fluid a day.

If consuming foods and drinks high in fat, salt or sugar, have these less often and in small amounts.

Pupils are put into groups of four, they get sent out one at a time to run and choose a healthy food choice that results in a balanced day of eating (chosing vegetables, fruits, meat, nuts, protein)

diet: eat lots of vegetables, sweet potatoes, tofu. Ingredients that are high in nutrients and low in calories.

67% of their diet is sweet potatoes!
