  • Packed Lunches
    Environmental Services A Guide to the Preparation of Packed Lunches Introduction Home prepared packed lunches now provide the midday meal for large numbers of school children and adults. Whether we consume these meals in winter or summer, the selection of food commodities, methods of preparation and storage are vitally important. The guidelines contained in this leaflet are designed to assist you in the safe and hygienic preparation of packed meals. Bacteria All foods will contain some germs (bacteria) but cooking normally kills them off. You don’t usually cook a sandwich, so it is important that the number of bacteria is kept to a minimum. Clearly some foods are more susceptible to bacterial problems than others. High-risk foods, i.e. those that are high in protein, can be perfect breeding grounds, particularly if there is sufficient moisture and warmth to enable bacteria to grow. The following are a few tips on how to buy, prepare and store safe food. Purchasing Food When you go shopping use a cool bag to carry home your high-risk foods, including frozen and chilled foods. If you can, try to purchase these food commodities last. Do not leave high-risk foods for long periods in a warm car. Ensure when buying food that you check the ‘use by’ or ‘best before’ dates. Remember you may be preparing food to eat at a later date and so you will need to bear this in mind. Always use food within the recommended dates. Immediately you arrive home, place all high-risk foods into the fridge/freezer units, having first separated raw and cooked foods to prevent cross-contamination from occurring.

  • THE FIVE BEST FOOD FILMS of ALL TIME EFF Speech on Tuesday, March 21, 2017
    THE FIVE BEST FOOD FILMS OF ALL TIME EFF Speech on Tuesday, March 21, 2017 By Chris Palmer Mention plan for evening and EcoComedy winners at end and thank TNC. As I’ve said before, this evening is pretentiously called “An Evening with Chris Palmer.” The Festival asked me to do this event about 12 years ago, and I’ve been doing it annually ever since. Tonight I want to talk about the five best food films of all time. Now everyone please stand up, find someone you’ve never met before, and discuss for two minutes the best food films you’ve ever seen. Go! Ask audience members for their ideas! You may have noticed that I didn’t give you much structure for this question. Does food refer to nutrition, agriculture, factory farming, obesity, food waste, junk food, global food trade, or what? Also, by best food films, was I referring to impact? Did the film influence consumers’ purchasing decisions? Did policy makers take action to address, for example, the wretchedness of the standard American diet? Was there a lot of press coverage? Or by best food films, did I simply mean your favorite? As you can see, selecting the five best food films is complicated. Food is important to me for personal reasons. My father died of prostate cancer, and I have his genes. As I’ve researched and learned about cancer, I’ve become convinced that a plant-based diet is the best way to prevent prostate cancer. At the same time, a plant-based diet is one of the most powerful ways to fight climate change and to stop animal cruelty.

The contents may be influenced by mothers’ food concerns. We investigated the relationship between mothers’ concerns and children’s lunch box contents and preferences. Lunch boxes of 209 children were digitally photographed for 4 days at a private kindergarten in Japan. The amounts of rice, main dishes, vegetables and fruits in the lunch boxes were estimated by measuring the area occupied by each in the photograph; a questionnaire, including questions on mothers’ concerns and children’s preferences, was completed by mothers. Vegetable amounts in the lunch boxes were significantly related to mother’s concerns for their children’s lunch. Compared with estimated vegetable amounts below 11%, the amounts above 11% indicated that the number of foods disliked by children was lower, and mothers reported a higher rate of mindfulness towards vegetables and lower rate towards frozen food and believed that they prepared a balanced lunch.

The frequency of worksite canteen use has been quite stable for over two decades in Finland. A small decreasing trend can be seen in all socioeconomic groups.

A worksite canteen was more commonly available to employees with higher education and occupational status and to those working at larger workplaces. Employees who ate at a worksite canteen consumed more vegetables and vegetable and fish dishes at lunch than did those who
