Nutrition education in schools

Sufficient nutrition education, and access to nutritionists and  so that young people know what foods helps them thrive, can prepare that food, explore healthy food choices, and feel the benefits for themselves.

I was taught about the food pyramid, but that isn't enough. It doesn't:

- help us understand what the nutrients in food do

- help us understand portion size

- address the changing requirements across different the phases of our lives, or exercise

- help us understand when we are trying to solve non-nutrition problems with food

- help us understand how to buy, store, prepare and serve food for enjoyment and nutrition
