Reason That Supports the Claim
When lunch is scheduled later in the day or after recess, students are hungrier and have more time to eat, so they consume more of their meals and throw away less.
Evidence
The source reports that schools which moved lunch times later or put recess before lunch observed measurable drops in plate waste: students finished more of their meals (including fruits and vegetables) and overall uneaten food declined after the schedule change.
