This assessment sends a clear message: children do not make their food choices in isolation. What they eat is affected by the foods available inside and around schools, the products marketed to them, the opportunities available to them for physical activity, and the broader conditions in which their families live. Creating healthier school food environments requires coordinated action among various government bodies, including the Ministries of Education and Higher Education, Public Health, Agriculture, Economy and Trade, and Social Affairs. It also requires strengthening policies and legislation and enforcing them to protect children from the marketing of unhealthy foods and to improve the foods available to them, so that the healthy choice becomes the easiest for every child in Lebanon.
