Do Kids Eat More Veggies When Schools Serve Healthier Lunches?/ SCE4

In a study, the USDA examined whether serving more fruits and veggies in school lunches match with kids eating more veggies at home. The study is relevant thanks to the new USDA rules that in the 2013-2014 school year, more fruits and veggies will be required by law. Taking a closer look at the data, the USDA found some funny and unexpected patterns. We hope data like these will help schools shape their lunchrooms to steer kids toward healthier choices. 
1) Kids who came from families that had trouble with hunger and food insecurity didn't eat more of their lunches than other kids.
2) Kids whose parents identified them as "very picky" ate fewer veggies.
3)  Older white and Asian boys were the least likely to eat fruit, dark green vegetables and orange vegetables (Apples and carrots are not manly?).

Questions-

1. How do people improve these ways?

2. Can restaurants better fix the open campus rule by putting more limits on what they serve?

3. How can be people motivate/encourage students to eat better?
