This article describes how a teacher encouraged healthy snacks in her classroom. She asked students to bring healthy snacks to school since they ate lunch very late every day. Snacks brought from home were not really healthy. So the teacher started "Chef of the Week" where students created healthy snacks at school with fruits and vegetables.
