Fruit And Vegetable Consumption Of College Students: What Is The Role Of Food Culture?, Christiane Schroeter, Lisa A. House

For each unit increase in the reported consumption of fruits (vegetables) with the family, the respondents’ fruit (vegetable) consumption at school increased by 0.65 (0.30) units compared to the base consumption level of 1.95 (1.82) times of fruit intake per day.

Children's Food Security And Participation In The National School Lunch Program, Ariun Ishdorj, Lindsey Higgins

In 2013 nearly 8.6 million U.S. children lived in households in which one or more child was food insecure.

After controlling for the endogeneity of the program participation we found that program participation have positive effect on food insecure and marginally food secure children, …
