The following ideas include a balance and variety of foods and may be just the spark you need to get some fresh ideas. Remember, children need regular exposures to new foods before they will accept them. Watch out for foods that can cause choking for children under age four. Some foods that young children can choke on include hot dogs, raw carrots, apple pieces, whole grapes, fruits with pits, and popcorn. When planning a healthy lunch, keep in mind that it should include a variety of food groups. 1–2 servings of vegetables 1 fruit Whole grains such as whole wheat bread, pasta, or brown rice A good source of lean protein such as beans, eggs, chicken, fish, beef A good source of calcium such as milk, cheese, or yogurt Serve lunches with water or low-fat, unflavored milk to drink. If there is no refrigeration for your child’s lunch box, be sure to include an ice pack. Make ahead tip—Cook the pasta for salads over the weekend. Chop vegetables to store until packing the lunch. When sending hot foods, put in an insulated container designed for packed lunches. Or, if possible, have an adult heat the food for your child. Enjoy your food choices and perhaps these tasty foods may be just right for your lunch, too! Handout available at: www.tchd.org/295/Nutrition-in-Child-Care Rev. 10/2018 .

Global Cuisine 1: The Americas SECTION 1 NORTH AMERICA North American cuisine is a melting pot, based upon the diversity of the natural resources of the continent and the variety of the native and immigrant populations. There is no single “American” flavor in the region from Canada to Mexico, Pacific to Atlantic. However, each region has traditional dishes, flavors, ingredients, and cooking methods. Each is worthy of attention. There are coastal zones with abundant seafood; Asian pockets with fusion influences; the vast mountains, plateaus, and plains with beef, wheat, potatoes, and corn; Southern cuisine with African influences; and Mexican food with both native and Spanish flavors, to name just a few. North American cuisine began with the Native Americans and soon fused with the first European settlers at Plymouth, so the Northeastern United

Nowhere is that more evident than in the Asia Pacific. The region is home to more than half of the world’s population – 4.4 billion people, and dozens of cultures. Each country has its own unique food traditions and preferences, from the spices of India to the seasonal flavours of Japan. And each offers a range of ways of eating, from street food to fine dining. The region is home to a diverse and interrelated food ecosystem, from producers to retailers to consumers, which supports the rich food culture. Yet as technology and consumer preferences shift, what and how we eat is changing, sometimes in unexpected ways.

  • Food and Identity in New Zealand
    Food and Identity in New Zealand The Cross-Generational Transmission of Cultural and Gender Identity through Food by Kathey Kyoko Kudo A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Sociology Victoria University of Wellington 2011 Acknowledgements I would especially like to thank my supervisor, Doctor Carol Harrington of Victoria University of Wellington, for her support over the period taken to complete this thesis. In the planning and preparation of this thesis, Dr Harrington has been extremely helpful in guiding me through all aspects of carrying out this research. Also, thanks are due to the activity managers, Ms Sue Coventry and Ms Jane Evans, for helping me to access the residents under their care for the first interviews. Also of great help were, Ms Deborah Burns, a marketing and survey statistician, for suggesting more effective wording of the questionnaire used in this study; Ms Jenny Burns for assisting me to research individuals’ origins and family histories; Mr Denis Carmody for providing photos of his ancestors; Mrs Patricia McNaught for providing a photo of a colonial era storage jar. Acknowledgements are also due to Mr Craig Jackson and Mrs Ngaire Jackson, both retirees, for helping me with proof- reading and editing the final drafts. Finally, without the enthusiastic participation of all 15 individuals who have shared their food reminiscences with me and who consented to recorded interviews, this study would not have been possible. 1 Abstract This thesis examines the previously under-explored area of the intersection of individuals’ cultural and gender identity in relation to food within the framework of New Zealand food culture.
