decline in
Perth
schools
Student consumption of
"Junk food" appears to be
on the decline in Perth
County high schools.
A report on cafeteria
operations, presented last
week to' the Perth County
Board of Education, detailed
methods currently being
used to promOte nutritional
foods in the schools, in-
dicating that the nutrition
campaign is meeting with
some success.
Several recommendations
on, nutrition in the schools
committee were put in to
practice in April 1977 in-
cluding the purchase of
refrigerated display cases for
the school's cafeterias to
promote nutritional fOods.
' Cafeteria operators, which
the report describes as "very
co-operative," have also of-
fered special reduced pnices
on good food, providing an
inducement to students to
choose nutrition over, taste.
The report states that sales
of salad have shown a
"significant gain" in all the
schools, probably because
they are now being dis-
played.
In one school, doughnut
sales dropped from 1,666
during a week in April 1977
to only 21 for a week in
March 1978.
Bruce Shaw, principal of
Seaforth District High School
said the school started pro-
moting good nutrition among
students two years ago.
Mr. Shaw said the school
cafeteria stopped selling
tertian "junk foods" to
students some time ago. For
example, the cafeteria no
longer sells chocolate bars.
Students are encouraged to
buy "wholesome snacks"
