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.
