A well balanced diet is necessary for the proper growth and development of the body, especially so for the growing and active adolescent boys in our school.Furthermore, there are some students with special dietary requirements and their choice of meals may be limited
To propose changes to food offered in the school canteen to suit the dietary needs of a specific group
Survey

Vegetarianism, Pros
In our current society, many people suffers from obesity, by being a vegetarian one can cut out junk food from one’s diet
Food nowadays contain artificial chemical, harmful animal products with toxins
Vegetarianism ensures low calories which in turn gives vegetarians a healthy weight
Lower risk of cancer
Vegetarianism, Cons
Lack of complete proteins in plant-based products
Lack of the vitamin riboflavin (B2) that is important in converting protein, fats and carbohydrates into energy
Lack of vitamin B12 which is for the formation of red blood cells and the maintenance of the nervous system
Lack of Vitamin D
Basic Dietary Needs
Carbohydrates Main energy source Converted into other organic
compounds(amino acids) when in glucose form
Present in rice, noodles, wheat & grain food Proteins

mushrooms

vitamins (A,D,E,K) Storage of calories Present in vegetable oil
Iron Formation of haemoglobin and myoglobin Present in beans & dark leafy vegetables
Fiber Helps retain water of undigested materials
in the large intestine Reduces risk of getting colon cancer Present in most vegetables
Calcium Prevents blood clot Maintains strength of teeth and bones Present in soy-based products, diary
products, tofu, dark leafy vegetables
School Canteen
Our school canteen does not cater to vegetarians
Most, if not all of the food have something of animal origin
Proposed idea: A vegetarian stall
Vegetarian Stall
Similar to Stall 3- Purple Plate “pick what you want” style Consists of:1. Mushrooms – White Button Mushroom
as it retains most of the nutrients after being cooked. High in vitamins
2. Brown Rice – Staple food, taken with beans to provide “complete” protein
3. Beans – Baked beans & groundnuts which contains fats and protein needed
4. Vegetables – Green & dark leafy vegetables which provides a significant portion of the fiber & proteins
5. Vegetables – Broccoli, high in antioxidant & vitamins
6. Tofu – For proteins & oil 7. Mock Meat – To satisfy the craving for
meat for some of the students
