'Eat well, recieve iPod'

...or an Xbox, movie tickets, and other prizes. That's the message from Glasgow's school-meals service to all students in the city's 29 secondary schools, the Washington Post and The Scotsman report. According to the latter, "the award-winning Fuel Zone Points Rewards Scheme aims to promote a good diet among teenage pupils, with those who choose a healthy option rewarded with points which go towards prizes, such as iPod music players, Xbox computer consoles, tickets for the cinema and book tokens." A good thing, considering the fact that "the deep-fried Mars bar, served with a side order of fries, threatens to usurp the haggis as Scotland's best-known dish," National Geographic News (the Post thoughtfully links to this and other stories about some of Scotland's newer, beyond-haggis tasty treats). An interesting ed campaign! The question is, will they internalize the lesson? ;-)
