It's afternoon tea time and your 4 year old child says 'Mummy i want a packet of chips' or 'Mummy i want some lollies.'
We don't want our children to have lots of lollies and chips, as the rate of childhood obesity is increasing at an exponentially large rate
each year.
So we decide ' what the heck, it is time we went shopping anyway' so you get your car keys and your handbag, put your child in the car etc etc and drive to the shopping centre.
Remembering we don't want our children to have too much junk food and that it's afternoon tea time, we park the car, jump out of the car etc etc and go to the health food aisle in our supermarket.
Aha. Rice wheels, Which flavour? BBQ, Chicken or cheese? It doesn't Matter! Why?
- Because they are baked, not fried
- No added MSG
- No artificial colours or flavours
- AND they are gluten free
- 98% fat free
That satisfies the savoury side of things, now for the sweet side of things. Yoghurt coated Berries and Apricot Delights in the snack size packs.
- Made from real fruit
- No artificial colours
- No artificial flavours
- Contains low fat content
- Provides the sweetness of the fruit, so there is no need for added sugar!
Just remember we are trying to lower the rate of childhood obesity, so by providing your child with healthier alternatives to lollies and chips, you could be saving your childs life!
I am doing my share. and i purchase all these products, i even eat them myself! They taste great! The odd taste off chocolate doesn't hurt though
