You may be concerned that students will not purchase lower calorie and more nutritious items and revenues will be lost.  Case studies have shown, however, that change is met with much less resistance when administrators listen to the voices of those whose behavior they are trying to change – the students.  Without a doubt, the best way to get students’ buy-in on the changes is to involve them.  Students tend to resist changes they view as being “imposed” on them by school administrators, so seek their input.
