Abstract

The article discusses various aspects of promoting healthy eating habits among blue-collar workers in Denmark. The authors state that education seems to play a key role in health and length of life, thus necessitating increased health awareness for those with less education. The authors designed and implemented a "Food at Work" study with the General Workers Union labor union and the Danish National Health Agency that aimed at modifying the food habits of the union workers in areas both with and without a cafeteria.
