SURVEYS RESULTS
After conducting the following study we´ve come to the following conclusions:
We surveyed parents and students from our school , as well as users of social networks, specifically instagram.
School community
Over the course of our study, we surveyed 172 subjects and were able to come to the following conclusions.
-
50% of them are unsure of the nutritional value of foods they consume on a daily basis.
-
Less than 5% consume the recommended five servings of fruit daily. We consider this insufficient, this could be improved with the intake of a portion of fruit or a juice at breakfast.
-
62.2% of the participants do not consume the serving sizes recommended on the traditional food pyramid, despite the majority claiming to know it in its entirety.
-
​
Instagram community
Through 177 subjects surveyed on Instagram, we came to the following conclusions across several age groups.
-
Between 12-16 years:
Consume fast food several times a week and one piece of fruit or less per day.
-
Between 16-18 years old:
Have reduced their consumption of processed food to once a week.
They eat 3 or more servings of fruit and vegetables per day, due to the importance of the how they look at this age.
-
Starting at age 18, we are shocked by the lack of information in the nutritional field.
