Benefits of Bringing Packed Lunch to School |
|
|
In modern times, most parents have their own careers to sustain the increasing
cost of living. Economic pressure has led parents to work to provide comfortable
homes and meet basic family needs such as food, drink, and clothing. This
sacrifice has resulted in time constraints for them to take care of their
children's welfare when going to school. As a result, they use childcare
services to look after their children outside of school hours, as well as school
vans and buses for transportation. While some parents give their children money
to buy food at the school canteen or cafeteria, others prepare food for them to
bring to school. The question is, what are the benefits of bringing packed lunch
to school for children?
One of the benefits of providing food to children for school is to ensure that
the food they eat is highly nutritious. As we know, we are encouraged to
practice balanced eating to maintain good health and avoid the risk of dangerous
diseases. Parents are responsible for ensuring that each member of the family
practices a balanced and nutritious diet. This is especially important for
children as they are in an optimum physical growth phase. If they are provided
with healthy and nutrient-rich food, children will undoubtedly enjoy healthy
growth. We cannot guarantee that the food sold in the school canteen is highly
nutritious, so the best action parents can take is to prepare food from home.
Consequently, nutritious food will produce a healthy body and a sharp mind.
In addition, bringing packed lunch to school can ensure the safety of children's
food. If we trace back, food preparation is an important aspect where raw
material sources and cooking methods can be ensured if we do it ourselves. Are
you sure about the way the school canteen operators prepare food for your
children? If not, parents should spend time preparing food for their children to
bring to school. Every year we hear about food poisoning cases experienced by
students at school due to compromised food safety. We cannot deny that the cause
of food poisoning may be due to human negligence, but we can prevent it by
ensuring that we always maintain cleanliness and get food from trusted and
hygienic sources. In summary, bringing packed lunch to school can ensure that
children enjoy safe meals and are not exposed to any food poisoning as
prevention is better than cure.
At the same time, if children bring packed lunch from home to school, the
practice of thriftiness can be instilled in them. Children do not need to spend
money to buy food at the school canteen if parents have provided them with food.
Not only can children save on expenses, but parents can also save on expenses.
Parents can plan the menu for the week and buy cooking ingredients at shops or
supermarkets that offer reasonable prices along with good quality. Planning
expenses is something that society must do today to ensure efficient financial
management. Compared to buying ready-made food at restaurants, the cost of food
is higher because restaurant owners have to factor in other costs such as rental
fees and so on.
In conclusion, bringing packed lunch to school is beneficial to children in
various ways. It provides highly nutritious food, ensures food safety, and
instills the practice of thriftiness. Parents must ensure that their children
enjoy healthy food, free from food poisoning and also practice financial
prudence. |
