WHAT YOU GET

USING THE RESOURCE

RESOURCE FILES

This resource contains basic information about food types and sources, but the main focus is an activity where pupils try to make Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistleroy's favourite meal a healthier option for everyday eating. Pupils have a choice of alternatives for each course of the meal, and are given immediate feedback regarding the pros and cons of their choice. This feedback can then be printed off as a record of their choices. There is also the opportunity for pupils to send their own recipes to the Study Support Centre and Manchester United Football Club, where they can view menus from pupils around the world who are using this resource on-line. Pupils must be connected to the Internet to send feedback.

All the instructions and suggested lesson plans are accessed through the activity. Follow the instructions below to run the resource.
