5 a day - not!

in 2006, the government started the campaign of 5 a-day to encourage the people to eat minimum of 5 portions of fruits and vege. "5 A DAY  is based on advice from the World Health Organization, which recommends eating a minimum of 400g of fruit and vegetables a day to lower the risk of serious health problems, such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and obesity" (from NHS website)

i tried to my level best to get  the family to eat lots of fruits and vege daily. their lunch boxes will include fruits; fresh or dried. we bring packed lunches to school/work everyday except fridays - me & other half eat fish n chips and big missy goes for school dinner with her friends. it is quite daunting sometimes, thinking of what to put in their boxes everyday but..my mister likes toasted bagel with soft cheese and missy likes smoked salmon sandwiches.

whats in the box this morning?
for big missy - smoked salmon with french mustard sandwiches, grapes, galaxy cake bar, a packet of nik naks (something like twisties)

for her daddy - plain bagel which he will toast at work, 2 dairy lea cheese triangles, grapes and a packet of snack-a-jack (8% fat rice & corn crackers)

for me? not really bothered..i will grab a butter croissant before class and will be home at lunch time today.
