An initiative from Sure Start family support workers in Dundee aims to show that eating healthily need not break the bank. As the new school term begins, a healthy lunchbox costing just 70p and containing fresh fruit, vegetables, a cheese and ham sandwich, breadsticks, a small treat and a flask of water, is on display at Lochee Health Centre. Staff are on hand to offer advice on easy ways to eat more healthily and to provide samples of locally-available fruit and vegetables. Jill Shimi, leader of Dundee City Council, said, 'We can never underestimate the importance of a healthy start for our children.'
