TM: Subtle Solutions to Mindless Eating in Schools

Linkki

Our Mission:

To design sustainable research-based lunchrooms that subtly guide smarter choices.

What’s a Smarter Lunchroom? What can a well-meaning school do to help their students eat healthier? One way might be to raise the prices on the less healthy foods. Another way might be to eliminate unhealthy choices from the food service menu.

Many schools are hesitant to go this far. They are in the very real position of also balancing concerns of profitability, compliance, variety, and unfairness to those who are income disadvantaged.

Another set of solutions has been largely overlooked. These are the lunchroom changes – the environmental changes – that can lead a student to unknowingly make healthier lunch choices without knowing they were “nudged” in that direction by the way the lunchroom was designed.

SmarterLunchrooms.org provides proven win-win ideas. Ideas that help students make healthier foods choices, and ideas that are easy and profitable for schools to implement.

The Name Game

By Brian Wansink — Mindless Eating – Chapter 6, 2007
