School Lunch
Heart Day
Set Feb. 16
Schoool Lunch Heart Week
will be observed in Georgia
the week of February 14-18,
co-sponsored by the Georgia
School Food Service Associa
tion (GSFSA) and the
Georgia Heart Association
(GHA).
On Wednesday, February
16, which is designated as
School Lunch Heart Day,
students at participating
schools throughout the state
will have a typical school
lunch that is both good
tasting and low in choles
terol.
“Two menus have been
suggested, one featuring
sliced turkey and the other
baked fish,” according to
Mrs. Modenia Andrews of
Stone Mountain, president of
GSFSA and coordinator of
school food service for City of
Atlanta Schools.
“Many of the schools will
want to offer both menus, as
more and more schools are
providing food choices to
their students,” Mrs. An
drews continued.
The sliced turkey meal
includes dressing and gravy,
green beans almondine,
cranberry delight with
apples, school baked roll with
margarine, skim milk and
peanut chews.
Baked Fish will be ac
companied by fresh spinach
salad, baked potato with
margarine, sliced peaches,
corn muffin and skim milk.
Special modified fat recipes
will be used in preparation of
the meals.
The goal of School Lunch
Heart Week is to give school
children a beginning under
standing of the relationship
between diet and the heart
and how food choices affect
the heart, Mrs. Andrews
said.
Campaign Tune
“My campaign was a
pleasant one, And worthy
here of not; I'only kissed the
babies Who were old enough
to vote.”
