Nutrition education must be offered in schools (Hammerschmidt, Tackett, Golzynnski, & Golzynski, 2011).
The joint report of School Nutrition Association (SNA) and Society for Nutrition Education (SEN) (2010), aiming
to increase the influence of nutrition education in schools, stated that children who regularly received similar
messages on nutrition through various channels (school, family, environment and media) and other sources (parents,
educators, health personnel, media) have healthier nutrition behaviour. Therefore, it is important that educational
policies should start a communication between school, families and the community. While administering education
programs to promote healthy nutrition behaviour, it is important that role-models at home and around the children
should display similar behaviour.
