Kids need more time to eat lunch at school.
, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard School of Public Health, confirmed that “20 percent of parents of students from kindergarten through fifth grade surveyed said their child only gets 15 minutes or less to eat.”. Test scores are lower, attention spans decrease, and behavior problems increase.
Shortened lunch times are adding to obesity too. When we don’t have at least 20 minutes of time to sit and eat, the brain can’t process if we are. When students feel rushed, they overeat or don’t eat the healthy options on their plates. They skip the entrée and veggies and head right for the chocolate milk, fruit, or sugary options—options that are quicker to eat. This is setting up an unhealthy relationship with food.
