  2. BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF NUTRITION

  3. Basic Understanding of Nutrition • What does “Nutrition” mean? • Kalusugan, healthy, bitamina • What are nutritious food? • Vegetables, fruits, fresh meat and fish • What foods are not good for children? • Soft drinks, instant noodles, fatty foods

  4. What do your children eat? • All the mothers encourage their children to eat vegetables and fruits • Some find this easy to do because their children like vegetables or have no preference against them • Some will force their children to eat vegetables. • Some will give in and let their children eat what they want.

  5. If they had a choice, what would they eat? • Hotdog, tocino, ham • Instant noodles: ramen and/or pansit canton • Fudgy bar, cookies, and other sweets • Soft drinks • Chocolate milk • chips

  6. What would you like to feed them? • Steamed, sautéed or boiled vegetables • More fish, less fried chicken and pork chop • Less chips • More fruits • Although some mothers will buy sweets for their children as snacks.

  7. FAMILY LIFE

  8. Family Structure • Nuclear Families: 2 parents + 4 children • Extended Families: 4 parents + 4-6 children + 2 grandparents • Usual Breadwinners: lola + fathers • Jobs of Breadwinners: • Sari-sari store, construction workers, tricycle driver • Monthly income: 2000 php per breadwinner • Amount allotted for one meal for the whole family: 200 php

  9. Meal Planning • Where they buy food: “sa tabi-tabi o sa Puregold o sa Shopesville kasi mura lang” • Usual items: rice, meat, fish, and chips • Who prepares the food: LOLA and MOTHER • 1-2 meals a day on school days; 3-4 on weekends • Breakfast – bread, coffee, eggs • Lunch – kids are in school so most parents don’t eat lunch • Dinner – rice, meat, sometimes vegetables

  10. View on Nutrition • Parents claimed that they do value the nutrition of their children BY: • Preparing vegetables for dinner or when there are times when kids stay at home to eat • Planning balanced meals: Sinigang, tinola, adobo, less of fried food. • Wanting their kids to eat sufficient amounts amounts of nutritious food

  11. BUT… • Children do not want to eat the food prepared because they have their FAVORITES. • Rather than wasting money on food the children will not eat, parents prepare the NON-NUTRITIOUS FAVORITE FOOD so their kids can still get to eat something

  12. Family Illnesses • Hypertension • Intestinal Parasitism • Urinary Tract Infection – “kasi lagi sila kumakain ng chips and softdrink” • Malnutrition

  13. SCHOOL LIFE

  14. School Life • PAANO kumakain ang inyong mga anak sa eskwelahan? Nagbabaon ba sila o binibigyan niyo sila ng pera pambili ng pagkain? • Kung bumibili sila ng pagkain, SAAN sila nakakabili ng pagkain? • Anu-ANO ang kinakain nila habang nasa eskwelahan? • Ano po ang napapansin niyo sa mga kinakain ng mga anak niyo? Sa tingin niyo po, MASUSTANSIYA BA ang kinakain nila sa eskwelahan? Masustansiya din po ba ang kinakain nila sa bahay?

  15. Paano? • “Nagbabaon” vs. Allowance • Snacks • Biscuits, crackers and chips • Rice meals • Hotdogs, ham • Not all students were allowed to bring rice meals to school • Allowance

  16. Saan? • Canteen • Managed by the school • Part of the profits allotted to the school’s own feeding program • Students were “required” to buy from the canteen

  17. Ano? • Snacks • Biscuits, crackers • Chips, “chippy” • Juice, soft drinks • Merienda meals • Sopas • Lugaw

  18. Masustansiya Ba? • Hindi • “Walang choice” • “Sa school lang” • Parents encouraged their children to buy healthier merienda meals instead of less nutritious snacks
