Nutrition and Meals
Dear Parents,
Over the years, we have seen a lot of changes in the food industry and they have influenced the choices we've made in our own food here at Le Chaperon Rouge.
Because bologna and hot dogs are filled with toxic preservatives, we have substituted turkey in our sandwiches.
Also, we have switched from white bread to whole wheat bread. Another great substitution is American cheese slices to real cheese.
Our pancake syrup also has less sugar in it. I want our pancakes to taste good, but not be drenched in sugar especially first thing in the morning as we are all getting our day started.
We have also eliminated peanut butter much to my dismay. It is a nutritious food, but with all the newly developed peanut allergies, we would not want to take chances and make someone ill.
The latest change is that we switched from regular milk to all natural milk made without any growth hormone and antibiotics. This is a huge impact on our meal choices because we serve milk with both breakfast and lunch.
We live in the greatest country on Earth. With so much abundance, we offer fresh fruit and vegetables every day. It has always been an important mission for me to make sure the children at Le Chaperon Rouge get the highest level of nutrition.
I wrote this letter to give you piece of mind about our food choices. If you have any questions, please call me anytime.
All my best to you and your family,
Stella Moga Kennedy
