"I voted in favour of Mr Busk’s report, based on the conclusions from healthcare organisations about the illnesses from which modern man suffers, many of which are due to poor diet. Eating fruit may help to prevent and/or cure these illnesses, thanks to the vitamins it contains.
We need to teach our children how and what to eat. This is why I believe that this may also involve education about diet, all the more so as the World Health Organization recommends that children up to the age of 11 should eat at least 400 grams of fruit and vegetables every day. On the other hand, an explosion is being observed in the number of children ‘enjoying’ an unhealthy, absurd and unsuitable diet, with the blame for this lying not just with the school or family, but with all of us, society as a whole. This kind of dietary behaviour needs to be stopped immediately.
School is one of the areas responsible for forming habits, which should allow us to adopt again the habit of eating fruit. For this reason, I give my total support to the distribution and eating of fruit in schools. This scheme should be on the list of main priorities in terms of decision-making factors so that it can be implemented as soon as possible."@en1
