Schools

Crunch & Sip style programs (Munch & Crunch / Brain Breaks) involve schools and teachers scheduling time in class to allow children to eat fruit and vegetables and drink water in the classroom. Veggie sticks

The benefits of a fruit, vegetable and water in class include:

  • Exposing students to the concept of daily fruit and vegetable consumption helps build lifelong healthy eating habits.
  • The break reinforces other nutrition education messages delivered in the classroom.
  • Water and healthy food consumption can help improve students’ behaviour, and ability to concentrate and learn in the classroom.
