Rethinking the Lunchroom Webinar October 26th

Published on Oct 18, 2011 in Child Nutrition, School-Aged Children

10.18.2011 Do you ever wonder why you buy one product over another when grocery shopping or at a food court? Research shows that subtle and inadvertent cues, such as the packaging design or the placement of a product, nudges us to select particular items. Join us on October 26th at 10 AM (PST) to learn how you can use subtle and inadvertent cues to encourage students to select the not so popular, but healthier food items in school cafeterias.
