Understanding Competitive Fods and Student Health

Leigh Naumann

In order to better understand the relationship between competitive foods (i.e. food sold by outside companies) in schools and their relationship to student health. A thorough assessment of literature revolving around this topic will be undertaken to better grasp how if any relationship exists. I believe that health is an integral part of childhood education thus is important to provide students with the highest quality nutrition while they are attending school. I want to better understand the dynamics at play when it comes to corporate sponsored foods in schools that provide education to young children.
