“This is a song about the high school experience, sung through the eyes of the person who – more than anyone else – puts young people on the right path,” said Adam Sandler in a 1994 Saturday Night Live sketch. “I’m not talking about the teachers. I’m not talking about the coaches. I’m not even talking about the guidance counselors. I’m talking about a person we call the lunch lady.”

Getting kids to eat their veggies may be as simple as a good marketing strategy.
“These things are just basic tools in market ing,” David Just, a co-author of the 2012 study, told CNN. “These things are well-known by peo ple who try to market less healthy food to our kids. Why not use these things to get our kids to eat healthy foods? We’ve got to use every tool and trick at our disposal.”
“Overall, we found that both collaborating with a chef to enhance the school meals and using choice architecture techniques provide benefits,” write the study’s authors. “However, improving food quality and palatability was a more effective long–term method to increase consumption of healthier school foods.”
Referencing numerous studies by nutrition al scientist Brian Wansink, di rector of the Cornell Food and Brand Lab, Cohen confirmed that placing healthier foods first in a buffet line increased overall meal selection. Other techniques included placing white milk in front of sug ar-sweetened (chocolate) milk, as well as using verbal prompts and lighting on healthier foods.

Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health teamed up with the non–profit anti–hunger organization Project Bread to create the Modifying Eating and Lifestyles at School (MEALS) study, a randomized clinical trial in two urban, low–income school districts.
The team set out to examine the short – and long – term ef fects of a professional chef and the effect of extended daily exposure to a choice architec ture intervention on students’ school food selection and con sumption. “Choice architec ture” is a term that is used to describe the differ ent ways in which choices can be presented to consumers and the impact of that presentation on consumer decision–making.
Ben Tinker
In a 2012 study by Wansink, changing the name of carrots to “x–ray vision carrots” result ed in a whopping 66% of the orange root vegetable being eaten – far greater than the 32% eaten when labeled “food of the day” and 35% eaten when unlabeled.
Broccoli became “tasty tiny tree tops.” Peas were presented as “power punch peas.”
The percentage of vegetables consumed in creased by 30.8% in chef schools, compared with control schools.
