MTV did a hip segment on how a 60 minute transformation in middle school cafeteria can help kids eat better. Here's a three minute clip from the show .
My favorite line is when they show a girl picking out a cookie one week and a piece of fruit the next. When asked why she picked up a piece of fruit this time instead of a cookie. She blurts out, "I don't know." This summarizes why this Smarter Lunchroom approach is so powerful: It works without people having to think about it. It's why this same approach has worked everywhere from Google cafeterias, to Army base mess halls, to high end Norwegian hotels, to high school sports concession stands. It makes healthy foods convenient, attractive, and normal to take. |
