Smarter Lunchrooms

School dining rooms are areas that can help shape long term eating habits for students. Dining areas that offer healthy options while increasing the appeal and visibility of healthy foods have a positive impact on the formation of these habits, while dining spaces with easily accessible unhealthy foods can more easily allow opportunities for unhealthy decisions in terms of eating habits.

This feature aims to create an eating environment that greatly facilitates healthy habits in food consumption decisions.
