Nutrition education for schoolchildren – the Nutri‐Programme approach

Abstract

Describes a healthy eating campaign for schoolchildren, designed and implemented by a member of the food industry, and evaluated by an academic department. Promotes the importance of starch and discourages the intake of fat. Indicates that satisfactory results were obtained on both counts and that the children′s nutrition knowledge increased sharply. Also shows the experiment to have justified the collaboration between the food industry and independent dietitians.
