Lunch Box Section "What's In My Food"

This term as part of our focus on improving the health and wellbeing of our school community we are looking at how we can make better choices for our body.  What's In My Food?  Lets take a look at Oreo Biscuits this week.

Step 1: Ask What's In My Food? Ignore the front of the packet and turn it around.
Step 2: Count the number of ingredients on the back. The more ingredients there are, the less likely it is to help our One Body for Life. If there are more than 6, it's best to pop it back on the shelf and find a better choice.
What's In Oreos? 12 ingredients. This simple
swap significantly reduces the number of
ingredients, for a very small change in price.
It doesn't always have to be a lot more expensive to eat better for your One Body for Life.

Bonus #1: You'll have left over flour and butter to make other foods, like pancakes.
Bonus #2: A lot less ingredients and less
packaging too, making these biscuits better for your One Body for Life and One Planet Earth.
