Longer school lunch breaks can spur kids to eat more fruit and vegetables
When kids sit down to eat lunch at school, fruits and vegetables may not be their first choice. But with more time at the lunch table, they are more likely to pick up those healthy foods. If we want to improve children s nutrition and health, ensuring longer school lunch breaks can help achieve those goals, according to research from the University of Illinois.
Ten minutes of seated lunch time or less is quite common. Scheduled lunch time may be longer, but students have to wait in line to get their food. And sometimes lunch periods are shared with recess. This means the amount of time children actually have to eat their meals is much less than the scheduled time.
