Pilot Program That Taught Nutrition To Grade Schoolers Paid Off, Study Finds

October 19, 2009: 11:46 PM EST
A pilot study that sent registered dietitians into three public elementary schools to teach nutrition showed promising results, according to the American Dietetic Association. For example, thirty-one percent of students in the pilot schools reported eating a vegetable with school lunch, after they had reported not eating a vegetable with school lunch before the study. This compared with 17 percent of students from two control schools. The study was conducted in the Kansas City, Mo., area over a 14-week period among fourth-, fifth- and sixth-grade students. Several nutrition education programs involving nutrition counseling and physical education games were tested.
