OUR DAYCARE FOOD WISH

We would like our children to be fed:

1. meat/dairy products from animals that were raised naturally, ethically and locally, without the use of hormones, antibiotics, or insane unhealthy diets
2. more local produce or as local as possible (no imported fruit during harvest time in Ontario and no imported lemon juice from Greece but fresh lemons from the US instead), no fish fillets from China etc.)
3. only fresh fruit should be served, not canned, e.g. no canned pineapple with added sugar from Thailand.
4. only whole grains and no bleached “enriched” white flour
5. further decrease of processed foods and more meals cooked on site from scratch (for processed foods, it is nearly impossible to trace the origin or quality of the individual ingredients).
6. no artificial fats such as hydrogenated oils, modified oils or margarine
7. no foods with artificial flavouring, refined sugar, nutritionally empty fillers, nitrates, BHT and other artificial additives
8. eliminate exposure to the endrocrine disrupter, “bispherol-A, by switching to the non-canned version (fresh, frozen, in a glass container, or cooked from scratch) for the following foods: fruits, vegetables, sauces, soup and fish.
