National and Local initiatives that promote healthy eating Sam Emlsey Unit 1.1 1.2

In the last decade, the government have initiated different ways of advising parents, children and education establishments about how to feed children healthily. Some private and voluntary organisations have also joined in to ensure that the diets of children are being improved because of the obesity problem in the u.k.

You can see the trend over the last ten years that children’s weight is increasing, year on year. Some parents do not have the education about healthy eating, therefore it is necessary that the NHS, G.P’s and educators promote this.

There are National and local initiatives to educate and promote healthy eating for children. For the course, you need to ‘evaluate’ these. Unit 1.1 1.2 Evaluate national and local initiatives which promote healthy eating.

I have uploaded 7 healthy eating initiatives to the Moodle. In groups of 2 or 3, you have to research one of these. You need to create a presentation using PowerPoint and present in your next lesson. Your presentation needs to be uploaded to Moodle for the rest of the group to share – I will do this for you.

In your next lesson, you have to ‘evaluate’ the initiatives In your next lesson, you have to ‘evaluate’ the initiatives. Remember the sweetie game we played – you ‘compare’. You have to compare all the initiatives using the information that you have on Moodle from your group’s presentations.

State what the initiative is about, who runs it and why is this a good thing? Does the message get across well to the end user? Is it free or expensive – why is this important? Is the website easy to use and understand? Do not use bullet points as you need to ‘describe.’ You can use headings.
