A limited food budget means that families buy foods on special more often, eg products within one or two days of their expiry date, such as bread, pre-prepared foods, such as pies and microwave meals. The knowledge people have about preparing and cooking healthy meals will also determine the food choices they make. Merit (Explain) Low social gradient due to, eg part-time work because fewer full-time jobs available; unemployment; limited skills; single parent family on a benefit; can all impact on the food choices people can make and also their eating patterns. The amount of knowledge people have about preparing and cooking healthy meals also may determine the food choices they make. A limited food budget means that families buy a variety of foods that are on special from the supermarket, such as cans of fruit in heavy syrup, rather than fresh fruit, and microwave heat-and-eat meals, instead of fresh meat. They can buy family meals on special from fast food stores, such as McDonald’s, Pizza Hutt, KFC, Chinese takeaways, and the local fish and chip shop. These meals have a lot of nutrients in them, such as protein, simple and complex carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. They also have high amounts of saturated fats or oils, and / or salt in them. Eating lots of meals high in saturated fat, salt, and sugar, may result in gaining weight, not having enough energy, and feeling tired all the time (physical well-being). Excellence (Discuss) Low social gradient due to, eg part-time work because fewer full-time jobs available; unemployment; limited skills; single parent family on a benefit; can all impact on the food choices people can make and also their eating patterns. The amount of knowledge people have about preparing and cooking healthy meals also may determine the food choices they make. Foods that are cheaper in price because they are on special, such as canned fruits and vegetables, and packaged pre-prepared family meals, such as roast meal dinners, etc, are purchased even though they are high in sugar, saturated fat and / or salt. Special family meal deals from, eg KFC, McDonald’s, Pizza Hutt, fish and chip shops, are purchased because they are cheaper than preparing a similar meal for the family at home. The meals have a lot of nutrients in them, such as protein, simple and complex carbohydrate, minerals, and vitamins. They also contain saturated fat, sugar and salt. Meals from McDonald’s contain a burger, deep-fried chips, and a fizzy drink; meals from KFC contain deep-fried chicken, deep-fried chips, and a fizzy drink; and meals from Pizza Hutt contain pizza, deep-fried chips, and a fizzy drink. If a family eats these meals whenever family meal deals are advertised, this will impact on their well-being over time. The family could suffer from gaining weight, increasing the possibility of Type 2 diabetes (physical well-being), being left out of social activities or sports teams (social well-being), and as a result, they may also have low self-esteem, which could see them withdrawing from group activities at work, or school (emotional and mental well-being). Eg: Technological Achievement (Describe) The impact of technological advances on the kind of food products that are now available means people on all levels of income can buy food by Internet shopping, ordering meals online, such as KFC, and restaurant meals like Chinese and Indian, or texting orders for meals to be delivered. There are more foods being made that just need one or two extra ingredients added to them, so you don’t have to make them from scratch. This saves time and energy for people who work long hours, are shift workers, and also for people who don’t have much knowledge about making meals for themselves and their family.

This saves time and NCEA Level 2 Home Economics (90246) 2011 — page 6 of 9 energy for people who work long hours, are shift workers, and also for people who don’t have much knowledge about making meals for themselves and their family. Pre-prepared foods such as fish and chips, or roast dinners, are purchased because they are filling. They may contain nutrients, such as protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, but there is also a negative side to some pre-prepared foods, such as, a high content of saturated fat like roast pork with crackling, salt sprinkled onto fish and chip meals, sugar in fizzy drinks provided with the meals, etc. These meals may have an impact on well-being, such as gaining weight due to eating meals high in saturated fat on a regular basis because they are cheaper than purchasing all of the ingredients and making a healthier option of the meal yourself.

When a family buys meals online and gets them delivered, they are also paying a delivery fee that is often not mentioned in the price of the meal. Regular consumption of pre-prepared food products will have an impact on the well-being of family members and individuals. High intake of saturated fat can lead to obesity, heart disease, and strokes; high intake of sugar can lead to Type 2 diabetes, and a high intake of salt can lead to a loss of bone mass. Large amounts of these nutrients can result in weight increase, which slows you down so you find it hard to keep up with friends when out at social events, such as dancing, and playing sports, such as tenpin bowling, basketball, etc. Physical and social well-being is affected as a result. NCEA Level 2 Home Economics (90246) 2011 — page 7 of 9 APPENDIX B (QUESTION TWO) Eg: Possible health-promoting strategies to address negative consequences on the health of New Zealanders Personal Achievement (Describe) An individual staff member could make a request to the company manager that all staff stop for morning teas and lunch at the same time each day so that they can relax and also spend time chatting with their workmates. This will help to lower staff stress levels. Also, a request could be made to provide a variety of healthy food options and a few treat food options, as well as a variety of beverages (tea, coffee, fruit juice, etc), for those staff who wish to buy their morning teas and lunch foods. Providing the nutrition information for each food and beverage at the counter would help staff members to make wise, healthy food choices.

Providing the nutrition information for each food and beverage at the counter would help staff members to make wise, healthy food choices. The nutrition information provided with each food and beverage sold at the staff cafeteria will, over time, give the staff members a good understanding about what amounts of nutrients to look for when buying food from supermarkets, fruit and vegetable shops, cafes, etc. This knowledge will not only help them to lower their stress levels, but also to lower the risk of health-related illnesses, such as obesity, heart disease, etc. Excellence (Discuss) An individual staff member could make a request to the company manager that all staff stop for morning teas and lunch at the same time each day so that they can relax and also spend time chatting with their workmates.

Interpersonal Achievement (Describe) A small group of staff members and family members / friends could work together to research a variety of health promotion agencies that would be able to provide recipes, nutrition information, a wide variety of food items that are affordable, easy to prepare, and suitable for families, rather than just one person. All of the information could be shared with the company manager, so that a wide variety of easy-to-prepare healthy food options can be prepared for the staff members to purchase for morning tea and lunch. This knowledge can then be also repeated in the family homes, therefore helping employees to manage stress levels. Families could trial recipes and send NCEA Level 2 Home Economics (90246) 2011 — page 8 of 9 comments to the company manager about each product, or even provide him with a sample of each product to taste. The most popular healthy foods could then be included on the cafeteria menus.

These factors may result in only a few recipes being trialled. Societal Achievement (Describe) The Ministry of Health, or members of Healthy Eating Healthy Education could run a seminar with the manager and staff who organise the delivery of food items for the staff cafeteria, to inform them about the importance of including healthy option food items in the menus. They could also provide a survey form for all staff to complete about the foods they enjoy eating, don’t enjoy eating, what healthy option foods they would like to have on the menu, and how long they would like each product to stay on the menu. The information gained from the survey would then be used to inform the manager and the catering staff of the employees needs, and assist them with making changes to the menus.

The long-term outcome of the change to the menus for morning tea and lunch, not only impacts on the work output of staff, but also on their well-being, increasing their ability to complete tasks effectively within a specific timeframe, and lowering their risk of nutrition-related illnesses, such as heart disease, lack of sleep, and depression.
