A school environment that encourages students to opt for food with sound nutritional value is both essential and formative in ensuring that young people adopt healthy eating habits. The aim of this paper is to describe the food offered for lunch in the cafeteria service lines in Quebec schools on regular school days.
A cross-sectional survey was conducted between November 2008 and June 2009 with a representative sample of 207 French-speaking schools in the province of Quebec. The response rate was 71%. The cafeteria food available from the service line was observed directly and systematically by research assistants trained in observational procedures. Bivariate and descriptive analyses were performed.
While most schools offered a vegetable side dish, only 71% of primary schools, 71% of public secondary schools, and 54% of private secondary schools did not offer cold-cut dishes, stuffed pastry, or a fried food on their daily menus. The sandwiches available were rarely made with whole-grain bread. Public secondary schools had more cookies, biscuits, muffins, and chewing gum than private primary and secondary schools. Milk was available in 85% of the primary schools. Most of the schools had eliminated sodas but were still offering fruit cocktails instead of 100% fruit juice.
The school eating environment changed significantly from 2002 to 2009, presumably as a result of the government action plan and the Framework Policy. Improvements must be made with respect to reducing added sugar in beverages and desserts and promoting baked rather than fried snacks. Vigilance is required since many new products are making their way into the market.
营造鼓励学生选择营养均衡食品的学校环境，对于培养年轻人健康饮食习惯至关重要。本文旨在描述魁北克省学校食堂日常供应的午餐食品。
2008 年 11 月至 2009 年 6 月，对魁北克省 207 所法语学校进行了横断面调查，应答率为 71%。由受过观察程序培训的研究助理对食堂服务线上提供的食堂食品进行了直接、系统的观察。采用描述性和双变量分析方法。
大多数学校提供蔬菜配菜，但只有 71%的小学、71%的公立中学和 54%的私立中学在日常菜单中不提供冷切菜、馅皮糕点或油炸食品。提供的三明治很少用全麦面包制成。公立中学比私立小学和中学提供更多的饼干、松饼、松糕和口香糖。85%的小学提供牛奶。大多数学校已经取消了苏打水，但仍提供水果鸡尾酒而不是 100%的果汁。
自 2002 年以来，学校的饮食环境发生了重大变化，这可能是由于政府行动计划和框架政策的实施。必须减少饮料和甜点中的添加糖，并推广烘焙而非油炸小吃。由于许多新产品进入市场，因此需要保持警惕。
