Kids Prefer Veggies with Cool Names

Here is a link to a study which showed that kids ate up to 50% more veggies when they were given a cool name. Wouldn’t you eat twice as many carrots if they were x-ray vision carrots?  At our house we recently started eating secret sauce (a.k.a. hummus) and they like it.   It just goes to show that when food is fun it makes eating healthy foods exciting!

There was a similar study done a few years back with college students.  They ate twice as much Tuscan White Bean Soup than Bean Soup.  Food for thought.

Click Here for a link to the study.

Enjoy!  Please feel free to leave your comments!
