Literature Review :<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kj\u00f8llesdal\u00a0 states that the shift from consumption of mostly home-made food to more food prepared by others outside the home gives rise to new challenges, and also new possibilities, in promoting healthy eating habits in a population. Nutrition policies need to include means to ensure the availability of healthy options when eating out. The dimension and nature of the influence of the environment and policies on eating habits is a relatively new science with few established associations(18) . Little research has been carried out with regard to socio-economic differences in the use of eating places and how different policies targeting those eating out possibly could reduce, or augment, social inequalities in health.<\/span><\/p>\n

Subratty states that ensuring that children are healthy and able to learn is an essential component of an effective education system. This is especially relevant to efforts to achieve education for all, even in the most deprived areas. Good health improves enrolment, reduces absenteeism and academic achievements. School canteens should therefore be healthy points of sale which would benefit children by: offering nutritious and clean foods at competitive prices; providing a variety of foods; offering a clean environment for eating.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
