To Dietary habits are established early in life and show
long-term stability(34). Therefore, nutrition interventions
should be targeted at children and adolescents. Parents
are responsible for providing healthy food at home and
their involvement and role-model setting for healthy
eating is crucial(35). In Finland, the STRIP intervention
project has shown good results by repeated nutritional
counselling from early childhood(36). Beyond the home
environment, schools are an ideal place to support
healthy eating through the provision of well-balanced
school meals and health education(37).
