The organic bread box campaign started again on Sunday, with 154,500 boxes filled across Germany and distributed on Monday to highlight the importance of healthy eating. But how do Berliners fill their boxes themselves?
Federal Agriculture Minister Cem Özdemir (57, Green Party) was also there when lunch boxes were once again being put together for elementary school students in Berlin and Brandenburg. The campaign aims to teach children to appreciate the value of good food and a healthy diet.
A box contains a slice of sunflower wholemeal bread, a small apple, a banana, a cheese wedge and a fruit bar. BZ asked Berliners whether their break meals looked similarly healthy:

Tobias Hahnko (38) from Weißensee is a driving instructor. Because he suffers from diabetes, he usually takes something from home with him to work. This time it’s oatmeal with banana. “It’s quick and healthy,” he says Photo: Ralf Günther
