Health is wealth
Our health is our real wealth and the issue regarding children's food must be given top priority ("How about healthy portions?", Gulf News, November 4). I commend the authorities' decision for promoting healthy food in schools. The eating habits of children are a matter of great concern for parents. My children are not permitted to eat food outside. Rather, they are sent to school with food prepared from home. I believe it is the duty of parents to monitor the food that their children eat in school cafeterias. Curbing unhealth eating habits at an early stage would help eliminate obesity and other food-related diseases predominant among children.
