Achievements with brown rice Japanese school lunches

Naoki Matsui, President of Senshin Gakuen Educational Foundation
Harumidai Kindergarten (Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture) and Mitsuishi Children's Center (Hashimoto City, Wakayama Prefecture), director and director, and Kagayaki no Mori Gakuen (the same), Mr. Matsui is based on intellectual, moral, and physical education. has been involved in the education of children.After a while, I realized the importance of food, and introduced brown rice Japanese school lunches at the three schools, and I feel a great response.

Children at Takatori Nursery School are shocked

Mr. Matsui, who has been watching over children as a kindergarten director for nearly 30 years, has been visiting kindergartens all over the country to spread and teach attitude education such as greetings and replies, and to prepare shoes as a moral education. have increased.”
 They were children with developmental disorders and allergies, but the cause was not well understood.
 On the other hand, about 20 years ago my wife was suffering from a serious intractable disease.
 Therefore, I visited Takatori Nursery School in Fukuoka City, which is famous nationwide for its brown rice Japanese school lunch, and was shocked to find that the children were extremely calm.

Firm determination invites miracles

 As part of their moral education, they are taught to correct their posture by training them to stand upright, giving them confidence in their calm appearance.
Mr. Matsui, but I was impressed that the children at Takatori Nursery School were "different in their calmness."
 Mr. Matsui, who understood that the difference was in diet and exercise, began attending a regular cooking school at the recommendation of Nishifukue, the director at the time, and completed the teacher's course. She made up her mind, "I definitely want to serve Japanese brown rice to my children."
 Until then, it is necessary to make a XNUMX-degree shift from ordinary school lunches provided by outside vendors to brown rice Japanese food cooked in-house.
Mr. Matsui looked back on the hardships, such as refurbishing the facility and securing staff with an understanding of brown rice Japanese food.
 We were able to make steady progress through trial and error, such as welcoming the staff of a school lunch company to the kindergarten and having them go to the Seishoku Cooking School.
 “I thought it was definitely good, so I tried brown rice Japanese food, and a miracle happened.”
 After such efforts, the first
XNUMX at Kagayaki no Mori Gakuen
From April XNUMX, Harumidai Kindergarten and Mitsuishi Kodomoen started serving brown rice Japanese meals in January XNUMX and February XNUMX, respectively.
 Combining the three kindergartens, XNUMX kindergarten children and XNUMX staff are currently eating brown rice Japanese school lunches.

Calcium is supported by small fish

 Mr. Matsui established the following policy for the introduction of brown rice washoku.
 ① First of all, it must be good for the body and conform to the basics of regular meals.
 ② Delicious things
 ③ Appropriate for mass cooking
 ④ Cost reduction
 ⑤ Educational
 We purchase rice grown without pesticides and chemical fertilizers from "Nakagawa Nogiku no Sato" in Tokushima.It's a little expensive in terms of cost, but I started trading with the thought that "If I want my child to eat it, my kindergarten child will be with me."
 The bottleneck was the nutritional value standard.
 According to Mr. Matsui, school corporation kindergartens do not have nutritional value standards and can freely decide the content of school lunches, but nursery schools and certified children's centers do have nutritional value standards.
 "Among them, calcium is particularly difficult," so I didn't want him to drink milk that easily cleared the calcium standard, so
Iriko and whitebait are added to natto, etc.
I tried to use small fish that were fresh.
 On the other hand, since it does not use milk or eggs, it is said that it has become easier to deal with allergies.Then, "everyone can eat the same thing."
 Regarding ⑤, the older children are making miso, and we are also working on bucket rice and growing vegetables.

The employee's basal body temperature also rises

 With the cooperation of the instructors of the regular cooking school, the children continued to eat brown rice, natto with plenty of small fish and vegetables, miso soup, and one more dish. Now available.
 Infectious diseases become less likely to spread, and even in the winter when influenza is prevalent, even if there are children who get it, it will not spread to the extent that classes will be closed.
 "The basal body temperature of the staff has also increased, and there are many teachers whose basal body temperature has risen by XNUMX degree," which was an unexpected effect.
 Finally, Mr. Matsui said, "Food is more affection than you think. I would like you to review it again and if possible, get interested in brown rice Japanese food."
