BACK TO SCHOOL Princeton Area Public and Private Schools Offer Healthy, Nutritional Lunches for Students
T
he statistics are alarmi n g. A c c o r d i n g to studies from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and quadrupled in adolescents in the past 30 years. Today, about one in three kids is overweight or obese. A n d s t u d i e s s h o w t h at overweight kids tend to become overweight and obese adults. Studies also indicate that overweight children are more likely to have risk factors for cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, bone and joint problems, and various types of cancer. A number of factors have contributed to the rise in obesit y among children. Among them : less physic a l ac t iv it y, w it h m ore time spent watching TV or engaged in video games; increased marketing of unhealthy foods (especially targeting kids); larger portion sizes and higher consumption of sugary beverages. Some studies indicate that one fifth of teens drink the equivalent of an extra meal in sugar-sweetened bever-
ages. One important way to begin to combat this problem is by following the dietary guidelines of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Agriculture. The latter has instituted “My Plate” guidelines for a healthy daily menu. A chart, “To Make it Simple,” shows a plate half filled with fruits and vegetables, a quarter with grains, another quarter with protein, and a very small portion of dairy. Healthy Eating School lunches can be a major part of furthering the goal of healthy eating, and according to the Physicians Committee on Healthy School Lunches, more work needs to be done. Their studies show that menus in many school lunch programs are too high in saturated fat and cholesterol and too low in fiber- and nutrient-rich fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. The Physicians Committee “Healthy School Lunch Program” is dedicated to improving the food served to children in schools by educating government and school officials, food service
workers, and parents about the food choices that are best able to promote children’s long-time health. Princeton area schools, both public and private, have a strong record of providing healthy lunches for their students and keeping up-to-date on the latest dietary guidelines. For example, the Princeton Public School District, including four elementary schools, one middle, and one high school, has three registered dieticians to help prepare the monthly menu, notes Sharon McLoone, operations manager of NutriSer ve Food Management Company, which serves the school district. “There are state and federal guidelines and regulations that we must follow,” adds Ms. McLoone. “By following the Child Nutrition guidelines put forth by the USDA and NJDA, the dietary concerns are addressed, and we offer numerous choices hopefully appealing to all students. We offer hot and cold lunches, and provide a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables daily. We bake and do not fry, we use whole
grain products, and we do not offer soda or candy bars.” Ms. McLoone points out the growing awareness of children today regarding healthy eating. “Most students are more conscious of their nutritional needs, the upper level grades more so. The elementary level grades are not as concerned about the nutrition aspect of their meal — they want it to taste good and look familiar. We keep the choices healthy so it is easy for the students to make good choices.” Balanced Meals Pr inceton Montessor i School, with a student enrollment consisting of infants through eighth grade, works with its Food and Nutrition Committee to help give students options for healthy s chool lu nche s, repor t s Andrea O’Brian, Princeton Montessori director, operations and communications. “The school has two vendors from whom parents may choose to buy lunches for students: Brick Farm Market, which provides local, sustainable, farm-to-table foods; and Smart Lunches,” explains Ms. O’Brian. “Both providers use healthy ingredients and offer balanced meals.

Nutrition Committee. “Not only do students learn about the USDA ‘Choose My Plate’ program and the value of exercise for the body and mind, but students have the opportunity to practice these habits with the availability of healthy snack and lunch options.” The school strongly discourage s s t udent s f rom bringing “junk” food and/

or drinks to school, says Mr. Cardona. “Each child br ings a week ly healt h ful snack to share with the rest of the class, from the youngest children in Toddler through Elementary. The responsibility of bringing in a healthy snack to share with their peers teaches children to make smart food choices and practice heathy eating habits, even at a young age. Also, the food and nutrition program policy suggests that for birthday celebrations, more healthful treats and more age-appropriate portion sizes (i.e. mini-cupcakes for our youngest children) are preferred.” Allergies, whether to gluten, peanuts, dairy, etc., are a big concern today, and Princeton Montessori does not include nuts in its dietary program, points out Ms. O’Brian. In addition, she emphasizes the importance of educating the students about making healthier food choices. “We are aware that 17 percent of American youth are obese and 36 percent of American adults are obese, and these rates are rising. At Princeton Montessori School, we believe that establishing education and raising awareness are key components in solving this growing issue. We hope to expand our food and nutrition program to a comprehensive farm-to-school program that encompasses education, awareness, sourcing, procurement from local farms, and long-term planning and sustainability.” Sustainable Practices The school has introduced a variety of programs em-

ONE POTATO, TWO POTATO: Local soup kitchens and food pantries will get a special crop of potatoes that were planted at Howell Living History Farm a few months ago. On Saturday, August 20, the public is invited to help the harvest crew from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Farm staff will lead the project, using horses or oxen to pull a special plow. Lemonade and cookies will be served all day. Howell Farm is on Valley Road just off Route 29 in Hopewell Township. Visit www.howellfarm.org.
phasizing these issues, adds Ms. O’Brian. “Even younger students seem more aware than in the past about different foods, and many are wiling to try different foods. These programs culminate with local farm visits. This past May, students from middle school participated in an all-day education program at a local farm. They learned about sustainable practices in growing food and gardening, and how to be more aware of the ingredients in our food. “Awareness of healthy eating, openness to trying new health foods, and awareness of where food comes from and how it gets to them are important for a child’s health and are important to Princeton Montessori School.”
Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart has a long history of emphasizing healthy lunches for its students. “We partner with the Flik Independent School Dining team, that includes an executive chef and registered dietician to plan, review, and execute menus as well as work with the on-site team,” explains Risa Engel, Stuart director of communications. “The Stuart Dining Services team follows a clean eating philosophy. Our food and nutrition program is culinary-driven, and focuses on quality ingredients and delivering appealing and nutritious food. Though, as an independent school, we are not subject to certain government regulations, we are aware of the ever-changing
guidelines and always work to stay ahead of the curve.” Striving to provide healthy lunches for students, while being aware of the variety of issues — from obesity to food allergies — facing students today, schools must remain vigilant about these challenges. Wide Spectrum As Ms. Engel points out,
“There is a wide spectrum of health concerns when it comes to serving children today, from the risk of obesity to food allergies to body image issues. We work with our staff and dietary team as well as our families in a number of capacities to ensure that individual needs are met. Stuart does not serve peanuts and tree nuts, Continued on Page 28

what to eat through variety, balance, and portion size.” Food Allergies The school emphasizes healthier drink options, such as milk, juice, fruit-infused water, and juice blends instead of sodas, and as he points out, “All food and drink options are given a color based on nutritional value. Every day, Hun students can choose from offerings that include a hot main dish accompanied by starches and vegetables, a salad and fruit bar, a cold cut deli station, offering a variety of meats and cheeses, including house-made turkey and roast beef, two soup offerings, a dessert and bakery station, and specialty dishes.” The school also takes seriously allergy concerns and makes every effort to eliminate any problems, says Mr. Csapo. This includes reviewing recipes and ingredients providing an on-line menu allergen filter with 24 -hour access, labeling all menu items containing the 12 main allergens, and training all team members to recognize anaphylaxis and use an EpiPen. Also, he adds, “Because peanut and tree nut allergies are the most common food allergies among children, and children with those allergies are more likely to experience anaphylaxis, we only provide nuts and nut products upon request.” Hun School students, as those elsewhere, are becoming more concer ned about healthy diets, says Mr. Csapo. “Students are making certain food choices as a result, and in partnership with SAGE, we do our best to promote healthy eating habits by offering variety, and sourcing food from local vendors whenever possible. They cook from scratch as much as possible, which is not always the case in cafeteria-style dining. We selected SAGE in part due to their commitment to this ideology.” For students who opt to bring their lunch from home (more often in the public than in the private schools), emphasis on healthy choices is just as important. With all the information available today, parents and/or students will find many appetizing choices to make a healthy, appealing lunch possible. —Jean Stratton
and we do not seek to incorporate sugary beverages or candy into our dining program.” Both hot and cold lunches are popular at Stuart, and Ms. Engel notes that some students are very conscious of healthy eating habits while others are less concerned. “It seems that perhaps the interest in our celebrity chef culture is more food-driven than health-driven. In general, students are interested in knowing about ingredients and where food is coming from. We see some parallels in students that we do in the adult population — there is always a mix of those very interested in eating for health, whereas others don’t make it as much of a priority. Overall, we find that as long as the food is tasty, everyone is willing to eat!” Along with the other area schools, The Hun School of Princeton is concerned about proper healthy nutrition for its students. “O u r d i n i n g p r o g r a m works to provide healthy eating habits,” says Gabriel Csapo, Food Services Director, SAGE Dining Services, The Hun School. “We partner with SAGE to provide daily meals to our day and boarding students. Through SAGE, we work with a team of registered dieticians who rev iew ever y recipe and menu, and utilize a threepage check-list to ensure that meals meet rigorous standards for variety, nutritional value, and various allergies present within our student body.” Mr. Csapo adds that Hun follows the FDA’s Dietary Guidelines for Americans. “For example, the FDA just released the 2015 -2020 g uidelines w it h updated nutritional and dietary information, particularly addressing saturated fats and added sugar, and our dieticians made a few adjustments as a result. “Also, we help educate students about the benefit of eating healthy, and the impact nutrition has on students’ academic and athletic performance, attendance, and long-term health. Promoting nutritional value has been demonstrated to be as effective in guiding student food choices as posting calories. Therefore, through SAGE’s Spotlight Program, a color-coded system, we Family Guidance Center try to help students make informed decisions about Names New Board Head Family Guidance Center
