On Tuesday the 9th of January, Anne Hall visited our school to speak to us. When we went into class, we were greeted by tables full of food. This food was all a significant part of Annes talk. She began by showing us the food pyramid. We learned how the World Health Organisation (WHO) has changed the food pyramid. This means there was an extra layer added so fruit and vegetables are now at the bottom of it and are to be eaten 7-11 portions per day. Anne spoke to us then about the types of meals and snacks we should be eating every day. She showed us examples from the foods she had brought with her. She explained how protein and calcium are the two nutrients we need most of as a teenager, for our bones and repairing our muscles. Anne then carried on by turning the topic to sport. She explained that we should stock up on protein after coming in from a training session. She advised us to consume an egg/glass of milk. Lastly, Anne spoke to us about the new super foods, broccoli, bananas, fish and raspberries to name but a few
Overall, I found that the talk was very basic. The information she gave us was repetitive and common sense. I thought she was a good talker, I just didn't pick up on that much information.
