B is for Butter, Bread, Body Image & Behaviour
Butter – is high in saturated fat. Should be used very sparingly. For everyday eating, try using canola based or olive oil based margarines instead of butter.
Bread – choose multigrain breads as often as possible. White bread is highly refined and lacks fibre.
Body image – it is important for people to start recognising that being overweight is not a body image issue – it is a health issue.
Behaviour – eating is a highly modifiable behaviour and the eating habits and behaviours we develop in childhood, are often carried with us through adolescence and adulthood. It is important that parents consider their personal behaviours when teaching children about food and remember that children will usually follow the examples set by their parents.
