What's good in Kingston

Healthy lunches, healthy minds!

If you're like many parents this morning, you're scrambling to get the kids out the door with their backpacks packed, including a good lunch. 

We spoke to a Public Health Dietitian Jessica Durham about how important those lunches are to get your kids through the day. 

Durham also realizes there are some picky eaters out there, so she says one thing you can do is is get your kids involved. 

Finally, having a healthy lunch is great, and so is starting the day off with proper nutrition - a nice healthy breakfast. 

Durham said it's also important that you check with your school to see what food items are not allowed due to food allergies. In all Ontario schools, for example, nuts are forbidden.
