How this activity helps students learn about and apply Canada’s Food Guide
No single food or type of food can provide us with everything we need. When children eat a variety of foods, they are more likely to get the nutrition their growing bodies and minds need. The Build Your Own Lunch activity encourages students to include foods they like to eat from each category in the Food Guide to create a good tasting and nourishing lunch. Encouraging students to focus on foods they enjoy eating helps students build positive connections between Canada’s Food Guide and their own world.
