Food For Thought

“To give life to beauty, the painter uses a whole range of colours, musician of sounds, the cook of tastes – and

indeed remarkable that there are seven colours, seven musical notes and seven tastes.”

Lucien Tendrant (1825 -1896)

Training is everything. Cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education. Mark Twain, American author

What to look out for this term

This term we are proud to present our

new menu, which includes some new dishes along with the favourites.

In September, October and November

we are focusing on hydration, and the need to drink water/fluids on a regular basis.

„Time for a bite‟ is to show that Sodexo supports sustainable procurement and

cares for the environment. British food fortnight is in its 8th year and goes from strength to strength highlighting all that

is great about buying and cooking foods from around the country.

We will have some extra spicy dishes

for you to celebrate the Hindu Festival of Diwali.

Finally we end the term with Christmas

celebrations and a selection of your favourite Christmas foods – turkey and stuffing, Christmas pudding and mince

pies and Mulled Wine. There are also plenty of old favourite

themes to look out for as well as those

with a bit of fun. We hope you enjoy what we have to offer this term and

look forward to seeing you in the Dining

Room.

What is a Balanced Diet?

A balanced diet is an important part of living a healthy lifestyle – we truly are what we eat!

The general principles of a balanced diet are:-

1. Eat a variety of different foods every day.

2. Eat plenty of foods rich in

starch and fibre, such as breads, cereals, potatoes, pasta and rice.

3. Eat lots of fruit and vegetables – at least 5 portions a day.

4. Eat 2 servings of protein each

day, such as fish, meat or vegetarian alternatives like beans and pulses

5. Include milk and dairy products a couple of times a day.

6. DO NOT eat large amounts of

food which contain high levels of fat, salt or sugar.

Finally, remember to enjoy your food. There are no unhealthy foods, but

there are unhealthy diets!

What is Feedlife?

The Feedlife concept is centred firmly

on the association between

customer‟s nutritional intake and how diet leads to a healthy lifestyle. We

live in a time where we as individuals

are more aware of our diets and the associated benefits and risks to our health. We live in a country where

leaders of government, academic institutions and parents are

championing the case for balanced

diets. Feedlife has a process of

“Refresh & Renew”.

All the Sodexo team is committed to the quality of daily life, so look out for

new and exciting changes throughout the year ahead.

Sodexo would like to welcome both

new and old pupils back to Altrincham Grammar School for Boys.

We would like to take this opportunity

in wishing you all good luck in all your studies and activities, and look

forward to seeing you throughout the

year
