Children Are Choosing To Eat Healthy

And we thought they weren't listening to us! Turns out that a recent University of Minnesota study has found that school lunch sales don't decline when healthier meals are served. And to further the cause it t urns out that these nutritious lunches don't necessarily cost schools more to produce.

The study, reported on CNN, was done over a five-year period.

In my own family where I greatly limit junk food, my children are used to eating potatoes for snacks when they come home from school and are likely to eat humus and pita. They grew up with these choices and seem to stick with them. Not to say they don't eat junk food on occasion but it the exception rather than the rule.
