Abstract

Nutrition affects children’s health and development. Since an unbalanced diet can contribute to concentration disorders and fatigue, it potentially hinders success at school. Healthy or unhealthy nutrition habits are adopted early in childhood and often extend to adulthood. Nutritional education in kindergartens and schools therefore plays a significant role in developing long-term healthy eating habits. Changes in the decision environment in the school cafeteria that do not restrict the available food choices, so-called nudging, can encourage children to choose a healthier diet. This paper discusses the applicability and effectiveness of different nudges in the school cafeteria.
