Greetings Eaters Everywhere!
We've been looking at FOOD in garden classes!
We started our exploration looking at how water gets into our food through the water cycle and then, we have been discussing what ELSE do we get from our food?
*Food provides us with all the energy, nutrients, and vitamins that we need to survive. Plus, it tastes good!
*We can think about our food as "Sometimes Foods" and "Anytime Foods" - literally, foods we eat as treats, occasionally, as snacks, or parts of meals, and foods we can eat anytime:
*Everyone is a little bit different regarding how and what they eat and no one's diet is better or worse - the goal is to get all of us to think about what we eat and make choices for our best health!
*Anytime foods are usually whole - meaning, they don't change from when they are grown to when we eat them.
*Anytime foods are natural and have 1 or 2 ingredients.
*Anytime foods look like what they are.
*Nothing is added or taken away.
*Sometimes foods are often processed - they change A LOT from the original ingredient.
*Sometimes foods have added ingredients like sugar, corn syrup, preservatives, or artificial colors.
*Processed foods have lots of ingredients! Read some labels!
*Look at the foods you eat. You probably eat both whole food and processed food!*Balance your diet and make healthy choices when you can!
