CHILD MEAL
Child meal: How much may fat be in it?
Children need fat, are called it in an US study. OK ONE, but how much fat is for a normal growth necessarily? The 30 per cent recommendation really valid for all Kids? And when the childlike “fat brake” malfunctions, the mother to nature obviously provided? More questions than answers, my result reads.
I have always a mulmiges feeling, if I consult studies as proof for a thesis. Reason: I never know, who paid her. Still is valid: Whose bread I ess, whose song I sing. I do not know unfortunately, who the client of the study quoted here is, which was published in a specialist journal. I found the today’s focus on-line message so discussion worthy nevertheless that I would not like to withhold her the interested health from Blog readers. Here the facts:
A small study of the Pennsylvania State University resulted in that children at the vorpubertären age for their normal growth and their development burn plentifully fat. Therefore it is important that child meals supply sufficiently fat. In opinion of the US scientists should 30 per cent of the childlike food energy of fat consist. Of this background the specialists warn parents even to supply their children from fear of predominance with low fat meals.
During the test phase the test persons – both children as well as adults – got American average food. In addition they received the order to move during the test only little to read to look at instead, films or play at the computer. Result: As long as the dear small ones grow, they burn clearly per used up calorie more body fats than adults. Therefore one should not refuse fat, about a leckere fried sausage, to them. The US scientists, as previously mentioned, regard a with low fat nutrition with children as no good idea.
Which result can we draw now? Children do not become thick, if their parents take good heed of the 30 per cent rule. That may be usually like that. In practice I imagine the conversion of this nourishing recommendation however heavily. Who jongliert already gladly with calorie or fat tables around? Hidden Dickmacher lies in wait everywhere, as reported plus minus recently. For fast purchase aides, for instance the British “calorie traffic light”, may hardly hope the German consumer, it by the food companies is nevertheless rejected. One can only hope that large ones and small ones when eating feeling for quality, quantities and portions to develop that they eat and consider consciously, what her in her trolleys to put. Who moves little, which does not have to eat also like a construction worker. That is valid in any case for adults. Children seem to have by nature a small “fat brake”, but should not parents on it rely not too much. Finally moppelige or thick children are a daily sight. Nature has for much a solution, but gets also it not everything automatically into the grasp.
I must admit that the study does not strike me from the stool. It hardly helps parents. One knows today that the state of health of children has to do much with the social state and the education level of parents. Nourishing philosophies, nourishing tables or purchase advisors seem to reach only those humans, who have anyway hardly weight problems. A not insignificant part of the population however remains outside forwards. Who has as standard equipment little money, which must logical-proves with the food purchase to save, that is clearly. But there must be a solution also here. I know from own experience, how allergisch some humans react to if one criticizes its nourishing style carefully. Perhaps one must recognize simply that one can help not all humans. Adults are responsible for itself, but my sympathy belongs to the children, who landed nourish-technically in the wrong parents’ house. Therefore should be already informed in Kitas, kindergartens and schools about “correct” meal. Perhaps the small ones create it to reprogram their parents with the again acquired knowledge. Children affect clearly the purchase behavior of their parents. I think therefore that this strategy has chance for success. It one practices also already here and there. That find I prima and demand hereby a country wide consulting!
