Let's Move Campaign
Universal Seating Company offers free advice to guarantee
the success of First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move
- Healthier Schools Meals Program
You can lead a horse to water, but
you can’t make him drink.
The reason students aren’t getting a healthy, nutritious
USDA-approved meal today is that they won’t go into
a cafeteria that looks like a prison! This is a tragedy
for your kids - in not getting a healthy meal - and
for school districts in lost revenue.

The question is: Would you be
excited to eat in your schools cafeteria 180 days
a year?
If your answer is NO, then why do you think
your students or children would be happy!
When dull, drab cafeterias transform into bright,
exciting Food Courts, student participation increases
from 25% to 100% of previous amounts.
That’s a whole lot of extra kids eating a healthy
meal - instead of junk. Plus, the dining program can
be completely self-sustaining without losing money
for the school board.
Here are six reasons changing your school dining rooms
can help the Let's Move Program:
- Today, kids are exposed to fast food restaurants and
they expect the places they eat in to look the same
way.
- Remember your school dining room experience? Why do
you expect your kids to like it better?
- Kids don’t mess up McDonald’s! Discipline problems
in your dining room are reduced.
- When the students are involved in designing their
new Food Courts, they have “ownership” and pride in
their space.
- Fast food restaurants have spent millions of dollars
to attract your students. Don’t fight it - COPY IT!
- When you change the environment, you change the perception
of the School Food Program. It’s not the yucky cafeteria
anymore, it’s the “Raider’s Cafe” (and the food tastes
better!).
