When it comes to organizing children's parties, an important point is the food we are going to serve. The first thing we think about is that it should be economical food, quick to make, or even easy to order or buy, and that the kids will like it. In reality, if you think about the food typically served at these parties, it's hard to avoid junk food. Avoid junk food; this is where we want to analyze why it's important and will be better for all the guests if you offer healthier food, some ideas may even be cheaper than fast food. First of all, we know that junk food contains a higher number of calories, starting with the method of preparation, which almost always involves oil, and the ingredients it has, such as bread, potatoes, dressings, and a lot of fat.
