Eating Healthy
Didem Kanca Üstay, MS RD Yelda Onan, Keystone Kitchen Chef
Our Food Philosophy
To raise a healthy generation, which has healthy nutrition habits in the long term.
18/12/2013, 14:00 - 15:30 2
Healthy Nutrition Habits Not the amount but what they eat is important
More vegetables, more salad, more fruits
Healthy meat
More complex carbohydrates instead of empty calories
Certainly less oil, but if healthy oil
We want them to be able to seperate between healthy & unhealthy food
Ingredients without pesticides and hormones
Adults, parents and teachers should respect their children’s choices, they know the
best how much is enough for themselves.
Today this is much more important than in the past due to increasing rates of
diabetes, cancer, pesticides, artificial agriculture and lack of physical activity.

Why don’t we use chicken?
Why do we serve that many probiotics(yogurt, ayran)?
Why do we serve pasta and rice just once a week?
Why is fish that important?
Why do we serve that many vegetables and not more meat?

MORE VEGETABLES
The children may eat less fruit and vegetables from time to time, but usually it causes no harm.
It is not possible to force children to eat more fruit and vegetables.
The best way is for their friends to enjoy fruit and vegetables as a daily part of their diet. It may take time, but this is how children learn best. So it is best to keep trying at school where they are with their friends.

More Vegetables Cont’d
Vegetables and fruit provide essential nutrients such as vitamin C and folic acid and many more.
It is best to keep offering fruit and vegetables in a variety of ways, as children are more likely to eat what is familiar to them.
Never assume your child dislikes a particular fruit or vegetable. The next time you offer it may be the day they decide to try it.
Children’s tastes do change with age. That’s why school is one of the best places to offer them a variety of vegetables.
