Would you spend 50 cents per day for healthier kids?
|
Fifty cents per child per day is all it would take to improve the nutritional value of food at long day care centres, according to new research from Edith Cowan University (ECU).
An ECU research team surveyed menu offerings from 30 long day care centres in metropolitan Perth and found that by increasing their food expenditure by just 50 cents, they were four times more likely to meet food provision recommendations.
