American doctors claim eating breakfast is the secret to staying healthy. They say skipping the first meal of the day increases the chances of becoming obese or developing diabetes.


Diet concerns

Breakfast is really important!

Just think - when you wake up in the morning, your last meal was probably more than 10 hours ago!

American doctors claim eating breakfast is the secret to staying healthy.

Plan



Cereals are the most popular breakfast in the UK.

Plan

What percentage of your class have breakfast cereal in the cupboard at home?

What is the average number of cereal packets that your class has at home?

What proportion of your class ate breakfast this morning?

Quick head count



Specifying the Problem

Cereals are the most popular breakfast in the UK – 98% of households buy breakfast cereals.

Plan

On average, each household has 5 packets of cereal (either opened or unopened) in the cupboards.

Yet 1 in 5 children are skipping breakfast and going to school on an empty stomach!

How does your class compare?

Example statistics


It’s not just eating breakfast that’s important … what’s in your breakfast – the nutritional content of cereals is important too

Lots of doctors and dieticians are worried about what’s in cereals that are popular with children.

Current concerns

Which cereals are most popular with children?

It’s not just eating breakfast that’s important … what’s in your breakfast– the nutritional content of cereal is important too.

What do you think these cereals contain ‘too much’ or ‘too little’ of?

What might doctors and dieticians be worried about?

Can you judge if the amount of salt, sugar or fibre is enough or too little/much from just this label?

A new set of labels has been designed to help….

Boxes always have info for 100g portions.

Using the Traffic Light System

Some issues for the system

To look at some of these issues we will use the Problem Solving Approach…


Traffic Light labelling is currently a possible system. If it were to be used how many cereals would score well and how many badly?

Is there really that much difference between cereals?

Would it help people to make healthy choices?
