“…In France, morning snacking was associated with higher sugar and lipids intake and higher total daily energy intake. 42 It was also considered instrumental in getting children used to an overall snacking habit. These conclusions led to discouraging the distribution of morning snacks in pre-and elementary schools in 2004.…”

A country of glorious food, of superb restaurants and Sunday meals, France today is plunged into anguish and confusion.Must we, from now on, sacrifice the gentle principle of pleasure to the all powerful precautionary principle?Rumours grumble, worried in the markets and behind supermarket trolleys: what can we still eat? At the same time, the major diseases linked to malnutrition have fortunately almost disappeared, succeeded now by an explosion in unbalanced diets and illnesses linked to excess, which show a worrying 12% of children aged between 5 and 12 are obese.Faced with this situation the people of France have a right to expect transparency, initiative, continuity and coherence from all the actors concerned. It is the goal of this national healthy nutrition plan:• to develop information and education • urge the healthcare system to attach more importance to nutritional problems • open 'health democracy' to the nutritional challenges by involving consumers and food industry professions more widely • develop nutritional epidemiology • encourage research • implement public health actions Since this plan is opening so many necessary perspectives, it will extend over a period of five years.I hope that the plan will respond to the needs of the French people and enable each to find once again the route to a healthy, balanced diet which is a source of health, pleasure …and maybe even happiness.

“…It has also been suggested that fruits should be provided free of charge during morning and afternoon breaks as an alternative, to increase their consumption. Meanwhile, other recommendations for morning snacks have been developed in France ( 32 ) . Consequently, the whole school environment is taken into account.…”

School meals in French secondary state schools: do national recommendations lead to healthier nutrition on offer?

To improve the dietary offering in schools, the French authorities published recommendations on nutrition in 1999, which were then revised in 2007. The aim of the present study was to assess the nutritional offering in secondary school meals and the extent to which the recommendations promote balanced nutritional offerings. In 2005, a national survey was conducted on a representative sample of secondary schools, either administrated by the Ministry of Education (ES) or the Ministry of Agriculture (AS). Information on school-catering organisation and twenty consecutive meals was collected from each of the 707 secondary schools surveyed. Nutritional composition was estimated according to the French food composition database. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to investigate the impact of food-group frequency guidelines (FFG) on nutritional offering. It was found that 15 and 26 % of ES and AS schools, respectively, had high compliance with the FFG, at lunch. Macronutrient content was unbalanced in ES school lunches in which 42·8 % lipids, 21·5 % proteins and 35·7 % carbohydrates contributed to the energy. Nevertheless, proper offerings in Fe, Ca and vitamin C content were observed. In addition, a lower offering in lipids and a higher offering in proteins, Ca, vitamin C and Fe were found when the FFG were applied (P, 0·001). Similar results were found for AS schools. This paper confirms the effectiveness of FFG in providing nutritionally balanced school meals. However, others measures such as nutrition promotion and actions to improve children's food habits have to be introduced to make the recommendations more effective and easier to understand.

The objective of this study is to characterize the impact of hygienic conditions and lifestyles of students in a vocational school. The study involved 273 students from vocational training certificate programmes (CAP and BEP) and it showed that adolescent and teenage students do not get enough sleep and that most of them skip breakfast and lunch. This behavior partly explains the recurrent difficulties of these students. The French educational system can only lead to an optimal provision of educational opportunities to all students if their lifestyle issues are appropriately addressed and adequately taken into account in the field.
