Description
Vázquez-Polo and co-authors present a 2025 trial of a school nutrition program in Spain, called Zeliakide. Children's diets drift from the healthy Mediterranean pattern as junk food rises. The month-long program taught balanced eating through science and arts activities in eight sessions. Two school clusters took part, one taught and one as control, with 299 children in total.
Knowledge tests ran before, right after, and later to check retention. Mid-morning snacks were scored for quality as well. The taught group numbered 155 children against 144 controls. The design was controlled but not randomized, which the authors note. The study asks whether playful lessons can shift both knowledge and real snack choices.
