3 - 4 <strong>North</strong> <strong>Glasgow</strong> <strong>Youth</strong> <strong>Food</strong> <strong>Guidelines</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Healthy</strong> <strong>Eating</strong> <strong>Toolkit</strong><br />
OUR NORTH GLASGOW<br />
YOUTH FOOD GUIDELINES:<br />
These have been developed to tackle your key food issues identified<br />
by the consultation:<br />
• Access to healthy food<br />
• Cost <strong>and</strong> convenience of unhealthier options<br />
• Lack of cooking skills <strong>and</strong> the opportunity to try new things<br />
• Concern over the amount of junk food you eat <strong>and</strong> the health<br />
risks of this<br />
1. Young people should be involved in decisions around what<br />
food <strong>and</strong> drink is available<br />
2. Tuck shops should have healthy options, including<br />
access to water<br />
3. Cookery classes <strong>and</strong>/or taster sessions should be made<br />
available where possible<br />
4. <strong>Healthy</strong> food should be promoted, e.g. posters <strong>and</strong><br />
information on sugar contents of tuck shop items<br />
5. Games <strong>and</strong> activities around nutrition should be used regularly<br />
to help young people learn about healthy eating<br />
6. Space to grow your own fruit <strong>and</strong> vegetables should be made<br />
available where possible<br />
The following information <strong>and</strong> activities in this toolkit aim to support<br />
you to implement these guidelines in your youth organisation.<br />
