LET’S MOVE! Salad Bars to Schools
Why Salad Bars?1. When a variety of fruits and vegetables choices are offered in a school fruit and vegetable salad bar, students:
- Increase consumption of fruits and vegetables
- Try new items and incorporate greater variety into their diets
- Learn to make decisions that carry over outside of school, providing a platform for a lifetime of healthy snack and meal choices
2. White House Task Force on Childhood Obesity has endorsed using salad bars and upgrading cafeteria equipment to provide healthier foods to kids
