Part E - LO5, Explain How School Attendance and School Lunch Programs Affect Children's Nutrition and Health Many children consume a substantial portion of their daily food intake at school. If given the opportunity, school-age children may not always choose wisely, even if healthful foods are available. Therefore, it is essential to create a positive food environment and encourage good decisions. Choose all the statements below that correctly describe strategies to improve children's diets at school. Select all that apply. Schools may implement a school garden where students can learn about and help grow vegetables they will be eating. Schools should offer more interactive ways to encourage vegetable intake like salad bars or baked potato bars. Schools should offer full-fat chocolate or strawberry milk to encourage students to consume more calcium. Schools should schedule recess after lunch to help students burn off energy. Schools may offer a breakfast program to help children who may otherwise skip breakfast.

1. All of the following statements are true regarding nutritional needs of children, EXCEPT: Dietary requirements of boys and girls are generally the same until age nine. Most bone mineralization occurs during adolescence. Fiber intake is poorest in grade-school-aged children. Children as young as two can determine for themselves how much they will eat. 2. All of the following are true of the new standards regulating foods that are available in schools, EXCEPT: Only unflavored milk can contain up to 1% fat content. All grain products must be rich in whole grains. New standards apply to food sold in vending machines. Only fresh fruit may be served. 3. The energy required to support growth is the most significant portion of total energy expenditure during what age span(s)? through the first six months of age and during adolescence from birth through adolescence through age 2 only through six months of age only 4. Which of the following is true regarding dietary iron in children? Iron requirements are higher for adolescent boys than for adolescent girls. The iron requirement for males is highest from 1 to 4 years of age. Excessive milk intake often leads to inadequate iron intake in children under three years of age. Iron deficiency during childhood does not cause any significant developmental problems.

Schools are typically large buildings that require large amounts of energy to meet students' learning needs. While most of the energy is necessary to maintain safe, comfortable, and interactive learning environments for students, there are ways schools can reduce energy use without affecting students. Which idea will reduce a school's energy usage the most and have the least effect on students? A) Replace classroom computers with encyclopedia sets for conducting research, and replace interactive whiteboards with dry-erase whiteboards. B) Cafeteria workers can cook students' breakfast and lunch meals outside on charcoal grills, instead of inside with the electric stovetops and ovens. C) Remove half of the light bulbs in each classroom and allow students to bring battery-powered flashlights to use for reading small print when needed. D) While the school is closed for holiday breaks, central heat/air systems should be turned off, and unused electrical items in classrooms should be unplugged.
