Shirley J. Juvenile Non-Fiction School Lunches in various countries & cultures around the world
Good book showing the differences in how children eat in various cultures and countries around the world. There is a vast difference between the lunch American kids are familiar with to what is the norm for various cultures. In France school lunches are meant to be enjoyed both by taste and presentation. Served on china plates with actual cutlery and choices of excellent fare made by chefs, meals there are to be not just enjoyed but to be a pleasant time enjoyed among friends. A stark difference from school lunches in the Peruvian mountains. There are so many different ways school lunches are enjoyed. Sometimes it is the bringing of food from home or in Somalia the World Food Program provides vitamin and protein enriched biscuits and porridge to schools for their student's in China fish and vegetables play a big part in student lunches. Such vast differences, it was interesting to see how the rest of the world feeds its children. I found this to be a fun read and study of other cultures. I would recommend this to elementary school children on up.
