Food Dudes

Food Dudes is an evidence based, cost effective approach that changes the eating habits of children and their families by bringing about large and long-lasting increases in fruit and vegetable consumption, and reducing the consumption of unhealthy snacks. It increases school meal uptake and the benefits transfer to families.

The effectiveness of the Food Dudes approach has been recognised by high profile awards across the domains of health, science, medicine and school food. The most recent being the Local Authorities Research and Intelligence Award for 'Best Use of Health Research 2013' for the Food Dudes Early Years Programme.

Food Dudes programmes are grounded in scientific evidence and have over 20 years of peer-reviewed evidence (within controlled settings and non-controlled settings) to demonstrate it's success, across Early Years, Primary and Special School settings.
