It appears from anecdotal evidence that school cafeterias in the US have made a concerted effort to facilitate better diets: fewer fried foods, smaller servings and no cupcakes. Growing awareness of increasing obesity and federal guidelines have encouraged a administrators to take steps to make food in schools healthier. For example California school districts have banned deep fryers have been banned (chicken nuggets and fries are now baked). What is encouraging, is that students appreciate the changes. I suppose those that want a balance diet can now get it and those who want to order a pizza with extra cheese from the local Dominoes still can. This kind of change can only be good – cheaper menu costs, more healthy people, more productive people.
