Why Nutrition Matters to Growing Minds

Why Nutrition Matters to Growing Minds

Research consistently shows that proper nutrition is fundamental to cognitive development and academic performance. Students who receive nutritious meals show:

  • Up to 41% higher academic scores
  • Improved concentration and classroom engagement
  • Enhanced problem-solving abilities
  • Better attendance rates
  • Reduced behavioral issues

As one child standing in the cafeteria line at school put it simply: "I'm just here for the bread." Good food draws students in and keeps them fueled throughout the day.
