Scholes: A Good Diet Is Essential For Youngsters
One of the biggest revolutions to have taken place in football
during recent years has been the importance of a healthy diet.
Pre-match meals of steak and chips are now a thing of the past,
replaced instead by a range of pasta, fish and vegetables.
Those types of foods were high on the agenda when Paul Scholes
and club dietician Trevor Lea met finalists of A Taste of Trafford's
Design-A-Dinner competition.
The competition, which formed part of the Manchester Food and Drink Festival,
was open to children from the borough of Trafford aged between 5 and 11
who were asked to design their favourite healthy meal.
Over 400 entries were received from individual children, brownie groups
and schools across the borough and after careful consideration
from a final selection of six, Paul and Trevor selected two winners,
eight-year-old Ben LeVasseur and ten-year-old Megan Clough from
Oldfield Brow Primary School.
The winning meals featured a range of nutritional foods including fish,
peas, mushrooms fajitas and potatoes.
Scholes stressed the importance of a good diet in the modern game,
saying: “In this day and age it is vital to make children
and young people aware that a healthy diet is essential for
their future wellbeing.
”Initiatives such as this can only be a good thing in raising awareness
of foods that are healthy.”
