I've always been told to go for natural ingredients eg sugar above chemical ingredients. Not sure if thats the right thing to do or not, maybe others could help me out on this. Kids dont always like just water and we avoid fizzy pop apart from special occasions so juice is the next best thing after milk and water. But thanks for your comments and I wonder of others have this dilema!<br /><br />JoolsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14211229394769799737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-54211424626728008032012-08-02T20:40:03.131+01:002012-08-02T20:40:03.131+01:00Crunch & Sip.

I'm just wondering whether you know how much sugar is in your Ribena?<br /><br />If your carton had 288ml of Ribena in it just over 10% of it was sugar - that's just over 30g.<br /><br />If you switch to Ribena Light and have the same sized carton it has only 1.44g of sugar in it.<br /><br />BeenaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11866881677706492519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-38544005147673160692012-08-01T17:12:08.373+01:002012-08-01T17:12:08.373+01:00Agghh!

It's also not so great if your grade has the first lunch (around 10 am) - you're starving when it's time to go home. I think the crunch and sip policy would alleviate the stomach pangs altogether at my old school. More schools should definitely adopt it! :)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing the traffic light list. Max and Pav - you both had great lunches today! :)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14425361889039327940noreply@blogger.com
