Research Healthy Changes to School Menus Do Not Increase Costs or Reduce Lunch Sales, Study Suggests Nov 26, 2007 A study in the December issue of the Review of Agricultural Economics suggests that schools that change their menus to offer more nutritious foods in the cafeteria do not experience a drop in lunch sales or an increase in food costs, the Associated Press reports. Researchers from the University of Minnesota analyzed five years of data from 330 Minnesota public school districts on their compliance with federal standards for calories, nutrients and fat in school lunches. They found that, contrary to popular belief, schools serving the healthiest lunches did not see a decline in demand compared with schools selling less nutritious meals. The study also found that using nutritious foods, such as fruits and vegetables, which cost less than processed foods, offset staff training and kitchen upgrade costs. To encourage schools to implement nutritional improvements, the researchers recommend enacting tighter restrictions on school lunch program budgets to limit indirect costs, such as electricity and janitorial services.
