Madrid.One in three public schools does not adapt the dining room to diseases or religions of students
Madrid, 3 (Servimedia) 35% of public schools in the Community of Madrid do not have adapted menus for schoolchildren from different religions or for those affected by pathologies such as diabetes or hypertension, according to a report made by the companySodexo restoration.
The study, "new tools for the improvement of the dining service in the centers of the 21st century," collects results from a survey between representatives of associations of mothers and parents of students from 110 public schools in the region.
Their main results reveal that 65% of the centers have adapted menus for schoolchildren from different religions or with pathologies that require it, as well as a high level of satisfaction with the quality of the raw material that is served (75%).
89% of respondents consider that the personnel who provide the dining room service have adequate training, and in 94% of cases they assured that their center also offers breakfast service.

In the case of diabetes, the problem is somewhat broader, than the quality of raw materials.
First, the nutritional information of the menus must be sent in advance to the parents, and it would already be milk if they also sent it to pediatricians and/or educators.
I have seen many school menus who do not provide any nutritional information ... and almost all of them are decompensated, or have surgery or missing vegetables, or proteins are missing ...
Second, there must be someone who monitors the amounts ... one thing is that a paper puts 45 grams of rice and another thing the amount they serve on the plate.
Third, there must be someone who watches that the child eats the rations that touch him, especially carbohydrates.
Is all this?My experience is that in most sites.And where it is done is because someone, individually and selflessly, cares about the subject.
