摘要翻译：
在学校社会文化环境中，大量儿童的饮食行为是一个由非线性相互作用驱动的动态过程。受亚利桑那州幼儿园前至8年级儿童的一项试点研究启发，食物联想学习对饮食动态的影响被用来建立简单的人群水平的学习模型。从质量上讲，数学研究被用来强调教育、营养和健康在社区一级的学习可能产生的影响。模型结果表明，营养教育项目在人群水平上对改善饮食行为的影响最小，这一发现与先前的实地研究一致。因此，将食物协会学习纳入其中可能是一个更好的策略，以创建健康和非健康饮食者的弹性社区。当食物联想学习者变成食物偏好学习者时，可以观察到一种潜在的可持续行为变化，这反过来可能影响健康饮食者的总体分布。简而言之，这项工作评估了人口一级干预战略的有效性，以及将营养方案制度化的重要性，这些方案考虑到经济、社会、文化和环境因素，与社区的规范和价值观很好地配合。

英文摘要：
  Eating behaviors among a large population of children are studied as a dynamic process driven by nonlinear interactions in the sociocultural school environment. The impact of food association learning on diet dynamics, inspired by a pilot study conducted among Arizona children in Pre-Kindergarten to 8th grades, is used to build simple population-level learning models. Qualitatively, mathematical studies are used to highlight the possible ramifications of instruction, learning in nutrition, and health at the community level. Model results suggest that nutrition education programs at the population-level have minimal impact on improving eating behaviors, findings that agree with prior field studies. Hence, the incorporation of food association learning may be a better strategy for creating resilient communities of healthy and non-healthy eaters. A \textit{Ratatouille} effect can be observed when food association learners become food preference learners, a potential sustainable behavioral change, which in turn, may impact the overall distribution of healthy eaters. In short, this work evaluates the effectiveness of population-level intervention strategies and the importance of institutionalizing nutrition programs that factor in economical, social, cultural, and environmental elements that mesh well with the norms and values in the community.
