What is the Smarter Lunchrooms Movement?
The Smarter Lunchrooms Initiative seeks to… •Nudge choices: Using research‐based suggestions to guide students to unknowingly, make smarter, healthier choices in the lunchroom•Increase sales: Finding innovative ways to increase cafeteria sales and participation by encouraging greater consumption of healthier foods•Implement low‐cost/no‐cost changes: Since many cafeterias receive a limited budget, suggestions are focused on changing the school lunch environment•Keep a variety of food choices: Nudging students without completely eliminating unhealthy choices from the menu or only raising prices on less healthy foods

“I thought mobile texting would make the cafeteria more unruly. It was actually the opposite. The students were paying attention to the screens and a little more quiet than usual. I loved their engagement!” – Lora Gilbert, Director at Orange County Public Schools

The Video?
From the perspective of the Director….
1. It’s always great to get students involved in eating more healthy foods2. My central staff participated in the project. They were reinvigorated and seeing
the children get excited about healthy eating really set a positive tone for the entire school year.
3. Participation went up in these schools? (need to get this data if it is true!)4. Reminded once again why we do what we do. We’re here to feed children!5. Without any reservation, I’d engage in this project with Nutrislice and the research
team again. It was super beneficial.
One final word…
