本文提供了实地证据的影响，饮食对教育成果，利用在英国的运动导致在2004年，其中介绍了急剧变化的膳食，在学校提供的一个自治市-格林威治从低预算的加工膳食转向更健康的选择。我们评估的影响，在小学的教育成果的运动，使用差异的差异的方法;比较小学的教育成果（关键阶段2成果更具体地说）之前和之后的改革，使用邻近的地方教育当局作为对照组。我们发现有证据表明，教育成果在英语和科学方面确实有显着改善。我们还发现，该运动导致授权缺勤率下降了15%-这很可能与疾病和健康有关。
This paper provides field evidence on the effects of diet on educational outcomes, exploiting a campaign lead in the UK in 2004, which introduced drastic changes in the meals, offered in the schools of one Borough – Greenwich shifting from low-budget processed meals towards healthier options. We evaluate the effect of the campaign on educational outcomes in primary schools using a difference in differences approach; comparing educational outcomes in primary schools (key stage 2 outcomes more specifically) before and after the reform, using the neighbouring Local Education Authorities as a control group. We find evidence that educational outcomes did improve significantly in English and Science. We also find that the campaign lead to a 15% fall in authorised absences – which are most likely linked to illness and health.
