The document contains the results of a nutrition and lifestyle questionnaire completed by students in Years 3 to 6 at Essex Primary School. It shows that most students eat 3 meals a day, have milk for breakfast, and consume fruits. However, around half prefer eating more at dinner than other meals or red meat over white meat. Most think they have a balanced diet but some don't drink enough water or do sports outside of school. About half have a TV in their bedroom and watch 1+ hours per day.
