Cafeteria trays
Fourth-grader Piper Basso loads her lunch tray with carrots and fruit before selecting an entree Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2012 at Richfield STEM School. The school participated in a study that showed students ate more fruits and vegetables if those items were pictured on their trays. Right now, to encourage kids to eat more fruits and vegetables, those foods are placed at the beginning of the lunch line before the entree options.
