Editor:
Even though I do not have children attending Rappahannock County schools, the opportunity to strike a blow at junk food encouraged me to write. (Rappahannock News lead article, September 16).
Only by education and example can children learn the value of good nutrition. What an object lesson presents itself: a class discussion on the available nutrients in the commercial popsicle versus the “fruit juice” variety could spearhead a unit on nutrition! Americans generally ingest about 500 sugar (empty) calories daily. Wherever sugar can be eliminated or reduced, progress is made. Where good, solid vitamins and minerals can replace empty calories there is an advantage to the growing child.
I suggest that a mother’s group could become the “popsicle committee.” Several hours work a week preparing the snacks could also put revenue into the PTA fund. I enclose several “tried” recipes my children have enjoyed summer after summer. Good luck and best wishes in your efforts to rid your schools of junk food!
