Using small monetary rewards to reinforce healthy behaviors, such as the consumption of fruits and vegetables (F\&V), the investigators tested fixed and variable reinforcement schedules in three middle schools. The investigators measured carotenoid levels, as a biomarker of F\&V intake, and F\&V waste over the intervention time frame. The investigators also tracked the school lunch participation rates over time.
