Results: Food habits can be modified at school with cooking workshops with chefs or monitors in an experiential learning and with school gardens. Parents and teachers should have cooking skills to educate children in healthy food. Children should do a rational management of their money at school buying healthy food. For this purpose it is necessary to change the food offered by the kiosk or remove the kiosk if is non healthy.
