Let's Have Lunch! Teachers Eating With Their Students Provides Nutrition Education Opportunities

Much attention has focused on school meals, both in the United States and across the globe.

The researchers wanted to observe how the teachers interacted with the children during meals in order to better understand how to interpret results of this practice.
