From the author: Most U.S. school-age children do not eat enough fruits and vegetables, both in terms of the number of servings and variety. One proposed way to improve children's consumption of fruits and vegetables is to increase the number of schools that offer salad bars as part of the National School Lunch Program. This study presented the first analysis of nationally representative data on foods offered in school lunch salad bars. The data were collected during the 1998-99 school year as part of USDA's School Nutrition Dietary Assessment Study-II. The study presented here examined whether schools with salad bars offered a greater variety of fruits and vegetables than did schools without salad bars. The study also examined items other than fruits and vegetables that were commonly offered in school lunch salad bars, with a focus on dietary fat content. Results showed that salad bars were associated with a greater variety of fruit and vegetable offerings. Schools with salad bars were much more likely to serve lettuce, tomatoes, other raw vegetables, and fresh fruit than were schools without salad bars. In addition, schools with salad bars were more likely than their counterparts, to offer nutrient-dense vegetables (like carrots and broccoli).
