Can you kindle a love of vegetables?

It is the country’s leading brand of vegetable products and recently launched a three-year campaign to inspire children to eat more vegetables.  9 out of 10 American children and teens they are not eating enough vegetables daily. Birds Eye is committed to helping you reverse this trend. This means funding research to help parents find new strategies to spark children’s love of vegetables.  Thus, the company is the first enterprise to employ children to solve – at least partially – these types of problems. Birds Eye understands how vegetables affect a meal, and she wants to get the kids excited about vegetables.  By partnering with Nickelodeon (a top league children’s entertainment brand) and iCarly’s Jennette McCurdy, Birds Eye empowers children to be creative in their culinary creativity and encourages them to share this inspiration with other children in a new initiative called “iCarly iCook with Birds Eye.” Vegetables make a meal The first study of 500 mothers with babies found that vegetables help improve the taste of starters noticeably and make the meal appear more complete.  The presence of vegetables on the plate means that the prepared meal received more attention and reflection. “These conclusions highlight the notion that vegetables make a meal.” Wansink says, “The vegetables make us beg for a meal and even make the person who gives us the meal seem more caring and loving.” Almost 70% of America’s vegetables are eaten at lunch, but only 23% of American dinners are full of vegetables. A second study found that it might be the parents who give up too early if their child says they don’t like vegetables. So, 500 mothers with two children were interviewed.  Research found that 83% of children had a favorite vegetable that their mother knew about, and 53% of the oldest children had a favorite vegetable just like their mother.  Here are 6 vegetables mentioned by 80% of respondents: cereals, broccoli, carrots, green beans, potatoes, and tomatoes.  “Children don’t have to like all vegetables, but they may like some,” says Wansink. Ultimately, they might like them if you like them too. ”   Birds Eye has created many interesting vegetable recipes aimed at children, including their favorite – broccoli, grain and green beans – along with tips on how to use them for family dinners. source: ScienceNews.pl
