Schools can directly influence the health of children.

85% of food shopping decisions are made by children and we can influence these decisions.

The Role of the School Environment

Kids rank schools as having the 2nd biggest impact on their eating habits.

Parents ranked 1st, TV 3rd. (Health Canada, 1995)

Students, on an average school day, consume about one-third of their calories at school, and a significant amount of that is purchased on site.
