| Direct regulation of school lunch content seems an intuitive approach for improving the nutrition of many American children. However, little is known about substitution patterns in response to such efforts, particular the likelihood that children and parents will turn to competitive foods outside the control of schools such as packed lunches. To our knowledge, no previous work documents if increasing the healthfulness of school lunches leads children to leave the school lunch line for potentially less nutritious options. To address this paucity of information we estimate the demand for school lunches as a function of calories provided and entrée protein source for a single elementary school. Our results suggest a highly inelastic response to a meal’s... |

From a policy perspective, an increased availability of high-quality PL products might provide consumers with a more affordable way to cover their produce consumption. Using a two-step Heckman selection model, we estimate the impact of purchase information, demographics, and food environment on the purchasing likelihood and expenditure shares of PL organic vs. conventional spinach. Results show that food context, most notably food availability, access, and adult obesity rate, significantly influences organic PL spinach choice. |
