KŘÍŽOVÁ, Zuzana
The aim of the diploma thesis was to increase the consumption of vegetables in the nursery schools in Volary and to propose subsequently modifications and recommendations. Information about the principles of appropriate children nutrition, nutritional requirements and standards applied in school feeding with respect to relevant age of children are presented in the theoretical part. An analysis of the consumer's basket content for MŠ Volary in year 2017 was performed in the methodology part. Found data were compared with the data covering the same period from other schools. Comparison shows that consumption of vegetables can be increased, although MŠ Volary complies with the consumer's basket regulation according to a valid ordinance (Ordinance 107/2005 Sb.). Precautions leading to the increase of vegetables consumption took action for menus in MŠ Volary. Changes related mostly to the implementation of new meals containing vegetables, the increase of vegetables portion in traditional meals, and the improvement of vegetables food look. The modified menus were tested on a sample group of consumers for three months. The sample group of MŠ Volary II Sídliště was chosen for changes observation. The sample group consisted of 45 children (23 girls, 22 boys) of pre-school age that means 3 6 years old. The children body height and weight complied with recommended parameters of relevant age and gender. Consumers' reactions to changes were observed. Experimental data were evaluated graphically. Further, the comparison of consumer's baskets of MŠ Volary in periods year 2017 and January March 2018 was performed. The former covers the period before and the latter the period after the implementation of changes, respectively. When compared, the evident increase of vegetables (21 % in MŠ I and 23 % in MŠ II) and portion in consumer's basket was found.
