At the moment, I am working with a team of health professionals on a project which encourages kindergarten kids (age 3-5) to eat healthy food. Every child is provided with a special (insulated) lunchbox as well as their own drink bottle which is to be kept at the school and only used for water. Only healthy food is allowed in their lunchboxes - fruit and yoghurt for snacks, etc.

The idea behind this is that if we can educate the kids at a young age, hopefully we can help them form good habits early. There's nothing we can do about the food they eat at home, but we can help them make better choices when they are in our care.

The kids are VERY responsive and feel involved in the whole process - not forced to obey. Maybe because these kids are so young they are more responsive than teenagers might be.... but it's all very positive. I don't feel like this is interfering with anyone's lives.....
