Salad production activities in a residence hall foodservice.

The objective of the study was to develop a method of assessing the relationship, rather than the absolute magnitude of the relationship, of production time for salads and the number of servings prepared in a university residence hall foodservice. The intercept, slope, and coefficient of determination relating to preparation time and number of salads were calculated for each salad. Production time was influenced by factors other than quantity of food produced.

Nutrition education in the Little Rock school lunch program.

The Little Rock (Ark.) School Foodservice Department furnished a nutrition education unit to two groups of primary-grade children. For one group, use of the unit was left to the discretion of the teacher. Teachers of the second group received the assistance of a nutrition education coordinator and use of supplemental materials developed by the coordinator; in addition, the Foodservice Department provided other supplies and foods suggested for carrying out the unit. Change in eating behavior in both groups was measured by studies of plate waste of the test foods incorporated in the school lunch. The study showed that: (a) A cooperative effort between the cafeteria department and classroom can result in changing eating behavior, and (b) first and second graders showed more behavioral change than third graders.
