Fun Food Facts For Kids! • Different parts of the world have their own local food they love. The diets and general food habits of various cultures depend on social, religious, economic and safety factors as well as the availability of different foods. Examples of food and cuisine that are popular or famous in certain areas of the world include hummus in the Middle East, apple pie in the United States, raw fish in Japan, cheese in France, roast meat and vegetables in England, curry in India and tortillas in Mexico. • There are approximately 2000 different plant types that humans use to cultivate food. • Some examples of popular vegetables include lettuce, carrots, asparagus, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, potatoes and onions. • The sweet potato is a root vegetable and is NOT closely related to the potato! • Cutting onions releases a gas which causes a stinging sensation when it comes into contact with your eyes. Your body produces tears to dilute that irritant and remove it from your eyes. • Pumpkins are usually labelled as vegetables but they contain seeds and are technically fruit. • Some examples of popular fruits include apples, oranges, pears, strawberries, peaches, bananas, apricots and grapes. • Technically speaking, strawberries aren't even berries! Strawberries are edible and tasty, but technically, they are receptacles (the thickened part of a stem) rather than a berry. Making things even more confusing - the little hard pieces that appear to be seeds on a strawberry are actually a type of dry fruit called achene and they contain their own seeds! Figure that! • India is the world’s largest producer of bananas, producing nearly 22 million tons in 2007. • Humans use many different methods for gathering food which include farming, hunting, gardening, foraging and fishing. • Humans eat meat from a number of different animals that include meat from chickens, cows, sheep and pigs. Other food products that come from animals include milk, eggs and honey. • Although humans are omnivores (eating both plants and animals), many people choose not to eat meat and fish, they are known as vegetarians. Those who don’t eat or use any products made from animals (including eggs, dairy products and honey) are known as vegans. 600 E. Grand River, Brighton

• Food for human consumption is typically made from plants and animals but we also eat other products such as fermented foods and fungus. Some examples are mushrooms and cheese. • Cooking is an important part of food preparation that involves applying heat. In most cases this transforms the chemical make up of food, altering its texture, flavor, nutritional properties as well as appearance. The types of food used in cooking include ovens, microwaves, toasters, grills, pots and frying pans. The types of cooking methods are boiling, simmering, steaming, sauteing, pan frying, grilling and deep frying. • Around 70 million people suffer from food poisoning every year with around 7 million of these cases being fatal. Careful food storage, temperature control and preparation is necessary to avoid potentially dangerous bacteria, toxins and viruses. • Around 8% of children and 2% of adults have some kind of food allergy, this occurs when the body’s immune system incorrectly assumes a certain food protein is harmful and attacks it. Common examples of food allergies include reactions to peanuts, gluten and shellfish.

The United Kingdom • The United Kingdom is an island located in Europe. It borders the North Sea, English channel, and the Atlantic Ocean. The United Kingdom consists of Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and England. It’s about twice the size of New York state. • England is the most populated area, with 49 million people living there. Many of these people live in southern England, near London. London is the capital of the United Kingdom, and is home to about 7.6 million people! • The United Kingdom is often called Britain or simply the UK. • The official languages in the United Kingdom are English, Welsh, and a Scottish form of Gaelic. • The industrial revolution was born in the United Kingdom in the 18th century, making it the first industrialized nation. • The currency of the United Kingdom is the British pound. • The total population is estimated to be about 65 million people! • Major industries include machine tools, electric power equipment, automation equipment, railroad equipment, ship building, cereals, oilseed, potatoes, vegetables, cattle, and fish. • The government of the United Kingdom is a unitary parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy. The Prime Minister is the head of the government. The queen right now is Elizabeth II and the prime minister is Theresa May.
• In the north and west of the United Kingdom, mountain ridges and deep valleys are common. The south countryside is mainly rolling hills. • In northwest England and the Scottish Highlands are dozens of lakes, called lochs. You’ve probably heard this term before when telling the story of the Loch Ness monster. Lock Ness is a lake in Scotland, and many people claim to see “Nessie” or a giant monster living there. • The United Kingdom used to be covered in thick forests. Now only 10% of the land is forest. • Soccer, rugby, cricket, boxing, and golf were all invented in the United Kingdom! • The United Kingdom has produced many great writers including William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, and Robert Burns. J.K. Rowling, the writer of the Harry Potter books, is also from the UK! • Stonehenge is one of the most popular tourist sites in the United Kingdom! Located in England, this structure dates back to around 3000 to 2000 BC. Why they are there is unknown, but there are many theories, including religious reasons, burial grounds, and even aliens! • British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), is the largest broadcasting corporation in the world. The corporation is very popular in the United States for news as well is television programs. • London was the first city in the world to have an underground subway system! • London hosting the 2012 Olympics is the first time a city has ever hosted the Olympics three times. That was also the first Olympics that had at least one female athlete from every country.
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England. It’s one of the most famous sites in the world. Archaeological evidence found by the Stonehenge Riverside Project in 2008 indicates that it could have been a burial ground.

Get Prepared To Start School! Getting ready for school by starting good habits is extremely important. You have to get used to hearing the morning alarm clock again, getting up, grooming and getting dressed. PLUS you need to have a healthy breakfast and make it to school on time! That’s not an easy task after having less organization during the summer months. The night before the first day of school is not a good time to start creating your school habits! Start at least two weeks before school begins to get into the habit of an earlier bedtime. Is sleep important? YES! Everything that’s alive needs sleep to survive. Not only is sleep important for your body, it’s important for your brain. Most kids in elementary school need at least nine hours of sleep every night. Some kids need even more. When your body doesn’t get enough sleep, you may feel cranky, be unable to think clearly, have a hard time following directions and you’ll run out of energy on the playground. Lack of sleep can also affect your growth and immune system which keeps you from getting sick. That’s why it’s important to have a bedtime that you stick to. Eating a good healthy breakfast is very important before school. That doesn’t mean doughnuts either. It means things like grains which are breads and cereals that are hot or cold. Also fruits, eggs, french toast, waffles or pancakes, yogurt with fruit or nuts, milk,
cheese and so on. Kids who eat breakfast do better in school and are more likely to participate in physical activities because they have energy. Some good ideas to help with the morning rush before school is as follows: • Take your shower the night before. • Lay out the clothes you plan to wear for school the next day before you go to bed. • Make sure you pack up your backpack with homework assignments, permission slips, lunch money or COLOR books the night before. ME! • If you pack your lunch, make sure it’s healthy. Sometimes you can make it the night before and put it in the refrigerator. That way in the morning, it’s a quick toss in the backpack.
