据美国媒体报道,面对美国儿童肥胖症的流行,越来越多美国专家学者开始倡议,应该从饮食着手,应对不断蔓延的儿童肥胖症。
美国公立学校已推行“从农场到学校”计划,在参与这项计划的学校当中,让儿童接触“从农场到学校”的相关活动,希望从小给孩子们灌输健康的饮食理念。
部分原文报道如下:
Farm to School links school children with farm fresh food and educational activities that bring the whole world of agriculture to life and help instill lifestyle choices that nurture their bodies, their communities, and the planet.
Young people who have the chance to dig in a garden, learn about nutrition, agriculture and the natural world, and have the opportunity to cook fresh foods, are more likely to eat these healthy foods when they are served in the school cafeteria and when available to them at home.
