What you must prioritize is only cooking pasta in unsalted, boiling water. Pasta is merely a filler, so like bread for birds it only serves to fill up their bellies with food that offers no value - so offering birds pasta once in a while shouldn't do no harm.

But if it hadn’t been for those changes I would have had to eat plain pasta until Year 13.Don't be afraid to offer a small amount of cooked, cold pasta to your backyard birds as it can be more a treat than anything of serious nutritional value. My days of plain pasta were finally over. We realised healthy food didn’t mean only eating salad, but that there were many ways to eat healthily. When there were only junk food options students obviously wanted them, but when they had more variety they often opted for the healthier option - especially when all options were made to look appealing and appetising. There were more healthy options, the number of junk food options was reduced and portion sizes increased. Once leadership at our school changed, we thankfully started implementing some measures to improve school food. For years I thought this was a normal school food experience and didn’t realise that others had a radically different one. As I grew older the small portion sizes also started to become much more of a problem and I realised how vital a good portion was. I am so glad my school has now upgraded these to new water bottle filling stations.
EATING PLAIN PASTA FREE
Free water was available, but the water fountains were old and unappealing. Often I couldn’t get a drink as I couldn’t afford it. I am still called a “picky eater”.īeing a free school meal student further restricted my options. To this day I can’t eat a jacket potato or plain pasta and I am very careful about trying new options. My experiences have drastically changed my relationship with food.

Sometimes I would have the cheesy sauce just to have some variation and some flavour despite suffering the consequences later. I was called a picky eater, but really - I just had my options taken away. In primary school, no halal meat was offered, resulting in me eating jacket potatoes almost every day! In secondary school I developed lactose intolerance and found myself facing various options -all of which contained dairy or were extremely unappealing. Certain dietary requirements were not catered for. When I was younger I was confronted with poor quality meals, small portion sizes and a lack of options - especially healthy ones.

Throughout my time at school I was actually able to see a transition to slightly healthier food served in the canteens but for years my personal experience was quite shocking. My experiences with school food were definitely a factor in why I decided to join Bite Back, making me passionate for the provision of healthy food for all young people. I’m also on free school meals which gives me additional insights. I’m currently in Year 13 and have been in the same school through secondary school to sixth form which has enabled me to see some changes and get a really good understanding of the food my school offers. It is also the one place where we could make absolutely sure that all children get a decent meal, no matter where they’re from.īut sadly, for me at least, this wasn’t the reality of my school food experience.
EATING PLAIN PASTA FULL
School should be a place where every pupil has easy access to healthy, nutritious food that sets them up for class and helps them reach their full potential. It should be easy to eat healthy - but it really, really isn’t.
