Action on Nutrition
Abstract
Describes a campaign to help schools set up school‐based nutrition action groups (SNAGs) to galvanize change towards provision of healthier food on school premises. Highlights the current lack of coherence present in many schools between what is taught about nutrition in the classroom and the type of food available at school meals. Explains how local authorities, education authorities, schools, parents, caterers, children and other relevant parties can work together to form and implement a common policy. Describes how schools now have the powers to influence contracts with caterers, and how caterers can expect to increase the range and volume of their business by working more closely with schools and pupils.
