Kids like healthy food

A common assumption is that kids don’t like healthy food.

Well, the Guildford County schools in North Carolina are proving that assumption wrong.

Last year these schools switched to healthier foods in their cafeterias — and guessed what happened.

The school officials assumed the kids would end up eating less cafeteria food.

It turns out the opposite happened. Cafeteria meal sales are up 10% from the year prior.

Yep, take the pressure to lose weight off of kids and serve them good food and they’ll eat it up.
