An recent interesting blog post based on a study by the University of Minnesota revealed a finding worthy of note: younger students will be more likely to consume hearty whole grains rather than starchy white breads if the new products are “gradually introduced into their school lunches.”
Evidently, immediately removing the options they are accustomed to, in favor of healthier alternatives, does not entice the children to change their habits. Much like slowly boiled frogs, elementary aged children will be more likely to change their ways if they are slowly introduced to the new meal plan.
This is worthwhile for YoNaturals healthy vending to keep in mind as well. We are actively engaged in convincing schools to give up their unhealthy snack and drink vending machines in favor of natural and organic alternatives. Changing habits takes time, persistence and effort – and no change is more important than this one!
If you are a school administrator, food service personnel, concerned student, or other decision-maker who is interested in improving health on your campus, please get in touch with YoNaturals vending and see what we can do for you!
