Early Lunch Hours May Lead to Poor Eating Habits for Students
2/21/2006

According to a February 17, 2006 article from The Associated Press, research conducted by Penn State University indicates that students with lunch periods earlier than 10:30 a.m. tend to purchase more a la carte items throughout the day. While many schools try to include healthy choices on their a la carte menu, the majority of students choose quick, convenient items such as pizza and cookies. Over time, these eating habits may lead to unwanted weight gain.
