VEGETARIAN FOOD FOR PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN

V diplomskem delu z naslovom Vegetarijanska prehrana predšolskih otrok je predstavljen prvotni namen prehranjevanja, ta je zagotovitev energijskih in prehranskih potreb organizma ter nemoteno delovanje njegovega imunskega sistema. Vsebina je usmerjena v vzroke oziroma motive ljudi, staršev, ki so se odločili za vegetarijansko prehrano. Starši so tisti, ki izbirajo, pripravljajo in ponudijo hrano otroku. Imajo pomembno vlogo pri oblikovanju zdravih prehranskih navad. Uravnotežena vegetarijanska prehrana lahko zagotovi vse potrebne snovi za razvijajočega se otroka. Opisan je pomen ekološko pridelane hrane v vegetarijanski prehrani otrok. Z izbiro ekoloških živil otroci zaužijejo celovito živilo, ki je polnejšega okusa kot konvencionalno pridelana hrana. Govor je o javnih vrtcih, ki se pogosto srečujejo z vprašanjem, ali je za predšolske otroke primerna vegetarijanska prehrana.In the thesis entitled A vegetarian diet of preschool children, the original purpose of eating is presented, to provide the energy and nutritional needs of the organism and the smooth functioning of the immune sistem.
