Background Of The Study.

Canteen services stated way back in the 18th centaury, food and snacks are served as to the taste of the customer. It may be seen as a place in the service, plant, camp, academyetc. where people may buy food, drinks, sweets etc to eat. As advancement has set in, further services are rendered away the normal buying and selling of food in ultramodern canteens.

According to the Ministry of Health periodic report, 75 of affections admitted in sanitarium are results of unhealthy food( MOH 2007), maturity of which are food serve in the canteen each over the country. It suggests that eating from canteens without introductory health consideration is like subscribing your own death leave.

Health frequently said is wealth, we should pay critical attention to the food we eatand the environmental condition under which we eat if only we want to produce wealth. currently, children are getting far more fat in suburban seminaries, and on a tête-à-tête view the seminaries canteens are a definite place toblame.However, there’s no respect for the weight of the child or no help for furnishing the healthier option; it’s each about making plutocrat to fund a business, If you look at an average academy canteen. Ways of making the canteen healthier will be bandied and the worst malefactors to canteen rotundity. Canteens are terrible; people line up with their plutocrat, walk in and buy whatever food they want. There’s no mama in their observance saying to buy a healthier option; there’s just a child who wants to walk in and buy the stylish tasting and in utmost cases adipose options. As a particular view, to reduce problems like rotundity people who have the power to should try and bring in healthier options, and encourage kiddies to eat them. There are endless possibilities to making canteens healthier, you can just ban unhealthy food, you can make it super precious so know child can go it or want to buy it, or you can just ban the canteen in general. But unfortunately these options wo n’t work because as important as people want to get relieve of the rotundity in children you have to suppose of the people who work at the canteen, as it’s their job. A more productive way of perfecting canteens is having both options to healthy and the bad but making the healthy particulars prayers more to people. Or from a different approach you can have the unhealthy food but make it lower in quantities, so you’ll be having lower unhealthy foods, and also the scholars will be reduced to no choice but buy healthy food or accept there own home made refections, where the parents can control the wholesomeness of their children

Problem Statement.

It’s without mistrustfulness that numerous Ghanaians scholars one way or the other eat food from a canteen and food cooked in their home as well.

Critical value is a value of the test statistics that serves as a boundary between thenon-rejections and a rejection region for the null thesis.
