 Getting
the kids to try it themselves is a big part of the
program. "When they see the food, they want to hear about
it and try it themselves." In the last part of the
presentation, kids assemble their own healthy snacks with
Byblos pita bread that is provided. Schools provide the
fillings, including options to accommodate the
requirements or limitations of those on special diets,
such as vegetarians. "We really make healthy eating fun for them,"
 Teachers love this program as much as the students. "It
fits into the curriculum wonderfully," writes one teacher.
"It's a terrific hands-on, nutritious lesson that students
remember."
Another writes, "Very interesting, educational. There
are fun, excellent and easy snack, lunch and dinner
ideas."
The program teaches that pitas can be part of any meal,
no matter what time of day, and part of any lifestyle.
Both children and adults can get ideas for fast, healthy
meals from Byblos Bakery. And with programs like For
Pita's Sake showing kids how easy healthy eating can be,
everyone wins.
