More Sustainable School Meals

Hello

Eating habits form early and can last a lifetime. School meals should therefor be an excellent place to address nutrition and sustainability. Sweden, with universal free school meals for every child, offered a chance to examine the impact of school lunches that are essentially the same but designed to be healthier for the pupils and for the planet.

Researchers were delighted to be rewarded with negative results: No differences in how much children ate, no difference in food waste, and no difference in satisfaction with the school lunches.

Have a listen here.

Take care
