Pudding Pie, Learn to cook at home

Sharing powerful stories from his anti-obesity project in Huntington, W. Va., TED Prize winner Jamie Oliver makes the case for an all-out assault on our ignorance of food.

A study of more than 100 obese children and teenagers found more than half were overweight by 24 months and 90% were overweight by the age of five.

We run regular classes for children and we see a huge difference in the types of foods they eat. Some don’t even recognise common vegetables in their raw form!

If you need help in understanding healthy options or if you need to learn to cook from scratch we can help. Check out our Courses either in your own home or our Cookery School Kitchen.

Today finds us at Horspath Primary School. Within their After School Club we are teaching the children how to put together healthy lunchboxes. They will learn to make pot noodles, fruit kebabs and loads of other nice goodies, all with no additives, preservatives, colours or sweeteners. If you are a School wanting to help your children eat more healthy food, check out our services here.

MORE Oxfordshire children are obese, according to new figures.

The Government’s child weight measurement scheme shows there has been a reduction in the number of underweight children and an increase in both overweight and obese children aged four to 11 in the county.

Every year, children in reception year, aged from four, and year six, aged from 10, are weighed and measured as part of the National Child Measurement Programme.

Their results are then calculated individually to work out their Body Mass Index (BMI), to see what their body fat percentage is. The results are analysed to see if they fall within a “healthy range” and are sent in a report to parents along with additional healthy eating and lifestyle information.

When the weight measurement scheme started in 2006, 12.2 per cent of reception pupils were classed as overweight and eight per cent were classed as obese. The figures for 2009 show the percentage of overweight four- to five-year-olds has risen to 14.6 per cent.

The number of those who are classed as obese has increased to 8.7 per cent.

This is why we feel it’s massively important that both children and parents understand what they are eating. We run regular Healthy Eating Workshops around the county or here in our Cookery School Kitchen.

Fruit and vegetables help set you up for a healthier lifestyle. Best of all, there is so much variety to choose from, all year long, there’s enough to keep even the fussiest eaters happy.

To get the best health benefits, your 5 A DAY portions should include a combination of a variety of fruit and vegetables. That’s 5 portions altogether, not 5 portions of fruit and 5 portions of veg.

We continue our drive to help children to learn the skills to make healthy choices in food. We strongly believe that teaching children and even parents during school years, has a huge impact on their later life-style and eating habits.
