Abstract
Research by an online takeaway portal has shown that when it comes to nutritional habits, grammar school pupils are more likely to eat healthier and with more variety than comprehensive school students.
Ash Ali, Marketing Manager of www.just-eat.co.uk said: "Obesity is a major worry in our society. Leading an active lifestyle and treating takeaways as a treat should be more important now than ever before. In terms of the results, I can only suggest that Grammar school pupils are more educated as to the benefits of a healthier lifestyle in terms of diet and exercise. Other than speculation, it really is not for me to comment."
He continued: "There are many healthy option takeaways available, such as Italian takeaways and sushi, which has seen a huge rise in sales over the last year. Our intention was not to target Comprehensive and Grammar school students in our efforts to spot potential areas for marketing, but the correlation was too great to ignore."
