Food and nutrition in schools has a direct influence on students’ performance in the classroom and poor diet has negative effects on both concentration and behaviour. Jamie Oliver, a British celebrity chef, introduced the idea of healthier school food in a TV programme in 2005. As a result of this, many schools in England changed their lunch menus and introduced vending machines selling fresh fruit, nuts, and yogurt drinks. These, however, are not always popular with the pupils, who continue to buy junk food outside school for snacks and lunch.

Option 1: "Jamie Oliver introduced healthier school food in a TV programme in 2010."
