Melissa Rossiter, currently an assistant professor in applied human nutrition at Mount Saint Vincent University and a registered dietitian, conducted a descriptive study through the medium of a questionnaire in 2007. This questionnaire, distributed to 130 prospective teachers, it aimed to measure their "eating patterns", "nutritional knowledge" and "personal health beliefs", as well as the "school food environment", and the contribution these measurements had on food practices foreseen in the classroom. The title of the work is concise and easy to understand, however it does not mention the relationship with the four aspects mentioned above. The abstract is a brief summary of the intentions behind the research and explains the interpretation of the results. The introduction elaborates on the justification for the research, highlighting the effect schools have on students due to school nutrition policies and the role teachers have as role models, authority figures, and as a resource for nutrition knowledge. The author believes that it is possible to create a healthier school food environment for both teachers and students through the implications of formal school policies. An in-depth methodological design was used to address the author's topic of interest. Given the large sample size, a descriptive, cross-sectional, team-administered survey design was conducted. . . The strengths of a cross-sectional project include the speed and ease of conducting it, since there are no follow-up periods. This design allows the researcher to collect data of all variables simultaneously through the questionnaire. It also generates many results that can be used for further hypotheses and studies. However, cross-sectiona… middle of the paper… effectiveness Further research in this area would be a valuable contribution. The overall study appears to be well thought out and well written, although elaborating on gender differences would have been interesting. There seems to be a neutral tone throughout the document that isn't leaning in any particular direction. The results appear to be a reflection of the future teacher and not imposed by the authors. Appropriate steps were taken to obtain approval from the university's ethical review board. However, the source of the funds to carry out the research was not mentioned. The tables were clear to read. The findings raise some red flags about where we should focus our attention as professionals to create healthy school environments. The study is well prepared, understandable and contributes to any growing pool of knowledge.
