That 's why kids need adults to supervise how they eat. (Spurlock 86)." Spurlock states that students, especially the young elementary students, need to be supervised by both their parents and teachers in order for them to make the right food choices because their choices can be carried out in their growing years. At home parents are in control of what their children are eating, but when it comes to snack time and lunch time at school students make their own choices on what they are going to eat. The guidance of eating healthy also influences students eating habits.

Because dietary factors contribute substantially to the burden of preventable illness and premature death in the United States, the national health promotion and disease prevention objectives encourage schools to provide nutrition education from preschool through 12th grade.
