The basic gist is that with improved diet at schools there were far fewer kids becoming overweight. There was still lots more work to do, but eating better helped a lot. If memory serves similar results were seen when Jamie Oliver helped the schools in the UK switch over to "proper" cooked meals that were well balanced and made with natural ingredients. Students become noticeably healthier, and even acedemic levels went up slightly. Good nutrician = good life.
