The launch is based on a study conducted by Super Sprowtz, in partnership with Cornell University’s Food and Brand Lab and the NYC Department of Education in 2013, showed a 250% increase in children consuming vegetables as a result of adding the Super Sprowtz interactive media center into lunchrooms.
