The Importance of a Balanced Breakfast

As we homeschool, little lessons just present themselves throughout the day. I though that breakfast would make a good health lesson. We discussed the importance of healthy eating and how we need to include food from more than one food group at each meal.



Then we had breakfast.



We had eggs fresh from our own hens to represent the meat group.



We had homemade bread to represent the grains group.



We had orange sections to represent the fruit and vegetable group.



As you can see here, Pooh was very happy with the fourth food group represented in his breakfast...

...the Twinkie group.

Hey, 3 out of 4 isn't bad...AND they brushed their teeth as soon as we finished!
