Village bread with oil for children's breakfast

Surely many of the readers of Babies and more remember the snacks that their parents and grandparents offered them then, the pastries and prepared products, everything that currently predominates, had little presence.

We especially remember the breakfasts with fresh cow's milk (very strong by the way), it was freshly milked milk in which the cream acquired an extreme consistency. Next to the milk some slices of fresh bread in the oven of the town accompanied by cheese or diverse products all of them totally handmade and healthy. When reading this news we have remembered those times, it turns out that an Extremadura public school has decided to remember those breakfasts so healthy and so special to fight against overweight and obesity. Every Tuesday of this month, the 200 children who attend school (55 of them in 1st and 2nd Primary Education) will enjoy a healthy breakfast in the school canteen. Village bread (del bueno) washed down with extra quality virgin olive oil, a glass of milk and a natural orange juice.

These are the healthy breakfasts that should be promoted among the little ones, it is a pity that the initiative is carried out once a week and during this month, it is not enough time to encourage this type of habits among the little ones. An initiative of this nature with a continuous and prolonged duration would undoubtedly have more beneficial effects.

In total there are 200 students who will benefit from healthy breakfasts, hopefully there are many who wish to adopt this type of products avoiding industrial pastries and other foods that favor the increase in childhood obesity.
