Aandoening
Dutch children consume a dietary pattern high in foods and beverages with too much sugar, salt and saturated fat such as sugar-sweetened beverages, fried foods and sweet snacks. Furthermore, their diet is low in healthy foods like fruit, vegetables, fish and whole grain products. For example, 4-9 year old children eat on average 73g of vegetables per day while the recommended daily intake is 100-150g per day. Forty two percent of the children in this age group meet these recommendations. For 9-12 year old children, the recommended daily intake of vegetables is 150-200g per day but their estimated daily intake is 90g per day. Only 25% of the children in this age group consume enough vegetables. Since in the Netherlands there is a shift from eating lunch at home to eating lunch at school, providing a school lunch may be an important opportunity to improve the diet quality of Dutch children.

Achtergrond van het onderzoek
the aim of this study is to encourage healthy eating behavior of children in the primary school by offering a healthy and affordable school lunch, based on the Dutch guidelines for a healthy diet. In this study, two research questions will be addressed. The first descriptive research question is: What and how much do children consume from a self-served school lunch and how do they evaluate the lunch? The second research question is: What is the effect of a self-served school lunch on experienced satiety, estimated daily consumption of vegetables, snacks and sugary drinks before and after school (compensation effects)? In this study, children in groups 5-8 (aged 8-12 years) of three primary schools will receive a healthy school lunch for a 6-month period (November to April).
Doel van het onderzoek
Providing a healthy schoollunch (including vegetables and non-sugary drinks) to primary school children will lead to:
H1a Higher daily consumption of vegetables
H1b Lower daily consumption of sugary drinks

Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
The dietary intervention consist of an ad-libitum lunch in the intervention schools during a 6-month period. Lunch is taking place in the class room or central hall. Children will be able to select lunch with food of high nutritional value by walking along a buffet at which all options are displayed. Every day, raw vegetables will be provided (50 grams per child) and a special lunch item, such as a vegetable soup. The development of this lunch was guided by a qualitative study among parents, school staff and other stakeholders (Rongen et al., in preparation).
