Older Students Eat Poorly
Healthy & Natural Journal, Oct, 2000
As students move from childhood to adolescence, their consumption of breakfast foods, fruits, vegetables and milk decreases while soft drinks rise sharply. In a Minnesota study, third-graders reported eating breakfast while eighth-graders eating breakfast dropped by 15 percent. Vegetable consumption between the two grades dipped by half.
Surprisingly, the consumption of high-fat, salty snacks actually declined in older students, according to researchers.
