For years, we’ve believed that real food in schools changes everything — not just how kids feel, but how they learn.
Today, we have the peer-reviewed study to back it up.
A new study published in Public Health Nutrition found that students in Eat Real Certified schools saw a 5.51 percentage point increase in the proportion of students meeting or exceeding English Language Arts standards, with similar trends in math.
At a time when test scores are falling nationwide, this couldn’t be more important.
To every school nutrition director who fought for better ingredients. Every superintendent who said yes. Every student who got a real meal on a school day. This study is for you. 🙏
The cafeteria is a classroom. And the science agrees.
