Before teaching this module please advise your children on the following information:
- Introduce the Five a day campaign (see http://www.5aday.nhs.uk/ for more information).
- Explain how important it is that we all try to eat at least 5 portions of fruit and veg each day.
- Make sure children understand that many processed foods and ready meals may contain some fruit and vegetables but they also typically contain high levels of fat, sugar and salt and so should only be eaten in moderation.
