A new study found that chef-enhanced school meals significantly increased students' fruit and vegetable consumption, with an 8% increase in vegetable selection after three months. The study also showed that using 'choice architecture' techniques improved students' selection of fruits and vegetables, but did not lead to long-term changes.
