    Even kids can eat healthy with *bling bling!

    Look for yourself, kids can get free IPODs and XBox if they choose to eat healthy at school. lol

    Glasgow pupils are to be given iPods and Xbox consoles in return for eating better at schools.

    Pupils in Glasgow schools are to be rewarded for eating healthy food. Glasgow city council has introduced a points system in all of the city’s 29 primary schools. The scheme gives each pupil a swipe card which they use to record all the points they earn.

    By building up points pupils can get iPods, Xbox consoles and cinema tickets. The top prize of an iPod requires a pupil to eat 100 of the healthiest ‘combination meals’. Since the project stated the number of pupils who order unhealthy food, such as chips, has halfed.

    The council has spent �15,000 on a website for the healthy eating scheme and will spend another �40,000 on prizes in the next year. So, it seems that kids will eat vegetables if there is an Xbox in it for them.
