A12 QUESNELCARIBOOOBSERVER -QUESNELCARIBOOOBSERVER Wednesday, March 16, 2005 OUR TOWN OUR TOWN Produce plan: Veggies in tlie classroom JOYANNE PURSAGA Observer Reporter Three ministries of the BiC. government united recently to launch a $300,000 project to get kids to eat their veggies. The School Fruit and Vegetable pilot program will provide one B;C. fruit or vegetable serving to the students of 10 elementary schools across the province^ beginning this September. The program's co-or- ^ dinator says it will take a bite out of Canada's childhood obesity crisis. "Our childhood obesity rate has quadrupled over the past two decades," said Ann Briton of the B;G. Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation. The foundation will organize the project for the following ministries: Health Services; Education; and Agriculture, Food and Fisheries. Based on the Body Mass Index, 29 per cent of boys and 27 per cent of girls in Canada are either overweight or obese, according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information. Briton says a lack of healthy choices are to blame for these expanding waistlines. She says 63 per cent of youth don't eat the five to 10 daily servings of veggies and fruit the Canadian Food Guide recom-: mends. Briton says parents face several obstacles in making sure their kids follow nutritious diets, including the convenience ,of junk food and misguided notions of what is or isn't healthy. "It's a challenge to spend the time that used to get put into preparing meals," said Briton. The fruit and vegetable program will target this lazy eating trend at two schools from each of the five health authorities in the province. Part-time staff will help dole out the nutritious snacks twice a week, Quesnel School District chair Caroline Nielsen says she supports any program that works to reduce poor nutrition in kids. But she says the 10-school limit takes only a "minuscule" step toward better health. "They just need to look at the research. I don't think there's any need for the pilot," said Nielsen. She says the cost to implement the program in every B.C. school pales in comparison to the cost of treating obesity and its related diseases. Obesity is one of the primary causes of Type 2 diabetes in kids, a health bill everyone must pay for, said Nielsen. But other local educators stress any free food will reduce the financial barriers to nutrition. Denis Lessard, principal of Dragon Lake elementary, says more than 200 students rely on a district lunch program serving low-income kids. "It's a great positive development, especially if we can bring the costs down for the kids,' said Lessard. Dragon Lake, Quesnel's Healthy Eating Active Living school, is working on several ways to increase student activity and improve nutrition. He says giving students choices and health education can steer them toward healthier lifestyles. "Most kids really like fruits and veggies," said Lessard. "I've seen instances where kids could have some junk food but the veggie and dip platter goes first," Democracy in action Grade 4 Dragon Lake elementary students Madeline Sheppard, left; and Denai Gassoff put the finishing touches on their nutrition poster for a healthy food fair tomorrow. Dragon Lake is Quesnel's designated Healthy Eating Active Living school this year and will undertake programs to improve nutrition and activity levels. Principal Denis Lessard believes B.C.'s School Fruit and Vegetable pilot program could reduce financial barriers to better nutrition.

This does three things. It insures you heard the question correctly, that the audience heard the question and it also gives you some thinking time. Remember, there'll generally be a question that comes at you from left field. Don't be surprised. Answer questions directly and avoid jargon and double talk. Keep your answers clear and concise, sticking to the question asked. If you can't answer a question, say so. Have the person who asked the question put it on the back of a business card or on a paper with their jeans, and more confidence in families and communities.
