Assessment of the variety of meals based on the menus of school canteens at selected primary schools
PEŠKOVÁ, Ema
The diploma thesis was solved in two selected school canteens in the towns of České Budějovice and Kaplice. The aim of the diploma thesis was to evaluate and compare the diversity of meals, especially according to the Nutritional Recommendations of the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic (2015) and the evaluation of the consumer basket, which is governed by valid Decree No. 210/2017 Coll., Amending Decree No. 107/2005 Coll. , on school meals. This issue was followed by an evaluation of the frequency of inclusion of seasonal foods or meals. Research has shown that both school canteens have insufficient representation of vegetable and cereal soups, meatless main dishes and fresh vegetables. On the contrary, we can evaluate very positively the frequency of classification of fish, legumes, legume soups and heat-treated vegetables. The consumer basket did not always, but in most cases corresponded to the evaluation of diversity. In both schools there was a problem with low filling of sugars and legumes. In addition, at the second school, there was a persistent shortage of milk and sometimes low levels of fish commodity. The third part of this work - the inclusion of seasonal foods or meals was done very well by both schools. As can be seen from the above, school canteen menus can still improve. The classification of healthy and tasty meals is not always easy, but children's diets are a key factor that affects them in childhood and adulthood, both from a health perspective and from the point of view of acquiring eating habits.

Intake of milk and dairy product at schoolchildren (importace)
DANIELOVÁ, Anna
My thesis concerns milk and dairy products intake by schoolchildren, more precisely, I compare the factual intake of these products by schoolchildren with a recommended daily intake. The theoretical part of my thesis consists of characterizing milk and dairy products as well as describing composition and production of these kind of commodities. Furthermore, in this part, I will deal with the issue of diseases connected to milk intake (low intake, normal intake). For the practical part of my thesis I chose a questionnaire form that consists of two separate parts. The first one is about the intake of milk and dairy products in long term. The second part is focused on the intake of milk and dairy products in one week. In the questionnaire I prepared for the purposes of my thesis there are 50 children involved. Half of them are pupils of Sir Nicholas Winton elementary school in Kunžak whose age ranges between 6 and 12 years. The second half of surveyed children are students of Business school of T. G. Masaryk in Jindřichův Hradec those students are either 15 or 16 years old. Because of accuracy of my results, the questionnaires for pupils of elementary school in Kunžak were filled by children's parents. The research was done in December 2016. After having all the questionnaires returned, I processed the results and described weekly amount of milk and dairy products that the children consume. Afterwards, the results were compared to the recommendation according to the attachment of act n. 150/2005 Sb., o školním stravování. Moreover, I put the intake of milk and dairy products into the program Nutriservis where I focused on the intake of calcium and phosphorus. Those micronutrients are important for children's body and its growth. In the end of my thesis I present my suggestions to take remedial action to the situation discovered in the thesis.

Milk and dairy products in alimentation of primary school children
HONZEJKOVÁ, Sára
Milk and milk products are irreplaceable in the children´s nutrition. Substances which milk contains assist children to the proper growth and development. The most important substances are for example proteins or calcium and therefore it´s necessary to feed children with milk. Children consume milk practically since birth. However, milk consumption may be associated with health problems, such as milk allergy or lactose intolerance. In order to increase the consumption of milk was introduced subsidized program "School Milk", which can be used by all kindergartens, primary and secondary schools in the Czech Republic. The research was based on a quantitative approach. The research tool has become a questionnaire given out to three grades of selected elementary school. Research shows that the selected students consume milk in sufficient amounts, especially cow's milk, which has chosen the 93.8% of respondents. It is primarily milk skimmed and not flavoured. Respondents prefer the most milk itself, then yogurt (56.9%), cheese (55.1%) and butter (50.2%), regardless of age or gender. Among the most popular cheeses include semi-hard cheese, which prefers the 82 respondents from a total of 225. Dislikes are then other fermented products such as sour buttermilk, which is preferred only by 7.6% of respondents, or kefir. Some of the products are completely unknown to the pupils. For example sour milk never tasted more than 71% of respondents. In the health effects and milk production pupils have very limited knowledge; especially pupils in lower grades have very limited knowledge. To name at least one important substance for human health was able to do less than half of the respondents. The most commonly mentioned was calcium and protein, and other substances only sporadically. Also knowledge of milk production has proven to be very tricky. A total of 56.9% of respondents said they do not know any dairy. Percentage using a subsidized program "School Milk" is very low. This program uses only 32.9% of pupils, especially in the lower grades. The research showed that 17.3% of students are overweight or obese, especially the girls in the 5th grade.
