Kia ora bloggers. In Te Ngahere on Monday Whaea Gina came in to talk to us about healthy eating. Did you know there are four food groups? The food groups are Dairy and dairy products, Meat  and meat alternatives, Grain food and Vegetables and fruit. Grain food is good for you because it is a great way to start your day and it is really good for your brain and it gets you up and going. Vegetables and fruit are good for you because they give you vitamins and minerals, but the natural sugar in the fruit is still not good for you it is better than normal sugar but too much is still bad. Meat and meat Alternatives, Do you know what a meat alternative is? A meat alternative is  a food that vegetarians can eat but it still gives you the same goodness as meat, meat is good for you because it give us protein and helps us grow. Dairy is good for you because it gives you calcium and calcium is good for your bones. What I will do with this new learning is try to make sure I have a least one thing from a food group in my lunch box.
