Day 1: White Picket Fences (The 1950s)
In the 1950s, things settled down in New Zealand. There were no international wars or intense, national conflicts. Many kiwis were able to settle down, get married, buy a home and start a family.
Activity 1: Meat and Three Veg
It was common for women in the 1950s to stay home with their children and raise their family. They were called ‘housewives.’ Many housewives followed a simple rule when they prepared the evening meal: the ‘meat and three veg’ rule. This meant that they prepared dinners that included three different vegetables and a type of meat (eg. beef, lamb, or chicken).
On your blog tell us if you think that the ‘meat and three veg’ rule is a good one. Do you like the rule? Would you enjoy eating a typical 1950s dinner? Why or why not?
I think that the meat and the 3 vege's is actually a good idea. The reason why this is a good idea, is because this is a really healthy dinner which is good for our bodies and health. My family and I love to exercise and play a lot of sports, but our main goal is to eat healthy.

Hey Sarah!
I totally agree with you. It's a great way to ensure you are eating a healthy and nutritious meal each night, and you can always change up the kinds of meat and veggie's that you're having.
What's you favourite meal to have at dinner time?
Nicky :)
