New world trip.

  Our trip to New world

Today at 11.00 o'clock we went down to New world.

We went there to do some labelling on healthy food and unhealthy food.

We had to look at labels of Milk products,cereals,snacks,muesli bar's and bread.

We had to  choose a healthy option and a sometimes eat option.

For example I will do brown bread as a everyday option and white bread as a sometimes option.

We started in the muesli bar isle. We got to choose a healthy and a unhealthy option. I chose nature valley and oat muesli bar. The healthy was nature valley oats and honey.

When you label it it must be like this: Energy:lower amount

Fat total:less then 10g , sugar less than 10g Dietary fibre more than 5g

sodium less than 400mg. If you are doing milk products it will have calcium. Calcium for strong bones and teeth.

We had to fill out a piece of paper with names like bread breakfast cereals and stuff.

After muesli bar we went onto snacks. This is where we can choose out of crackers,chips,chocolate or other snack foods. But we couldn't do two chocolates that were different. We had to choose lollies and crackers or chocolate and chips. Why? Because we don't eat chocolate everyday. Also because it isn't a healthy option. I will now explain the labelling.

On the side of cereals or other foods there should be a column. It will have the energy,fat total,sugar,dietary fibre and sodium. Now at the top it will say per 100g. Now that's what you want to write down when you are at the supermarket. What one is healthy? and what one isn't healthy. When I was little something called yakult was made for kids. But the thing was it had no calcium. So other parent's are wasting there money thinking that there children will get strong. Then LOOK closely at the label. NO CALCIUM.

Just like nut bars when they say: fruity muesli bar. With apricot raisins and oats. That is a LIE. When I was little my dentist told me to stop eating specific muesli bars because they weren't healthy and they weren't helping my TEETH. People should look at the labels on there food before they get it. For example if your mum wants to get white bread because it is yum. Tell her to get multi grain or wheat meal. Like my dad he gets me wheatmeal bread. When I was little I use to feel left out because my friends had white bread and I had brown bread. But I actually had healthy bread.

Here are some tips.

Uncle Toby porridge is another good breakfast option.

some crackers are healthy.

So remember to read the labels and find healthier food options.
