Nicholas McNie takes a big bite of his sugarless lunch at Orautoha last week. All the children at the school took part in a project organised by dental nurse Kate Lourie which saw the kids cooking a lunch using basic ingredients like bread, bacon and cheese. The idea was to show that cheap, nutritious lunches can be made without using refined sugar and junk food. Kate said eating foods with lots of refined sugar is still easily the number one cause of tooth decay. She said the project was designed to encourage the kids to take responsibility for what they eat by gaining their own experience of what's good and what's not.
