Children can learn to eat vegetables

Getting kids to eat their greens can be difficult. Children often refuse to eat vegetables. This can lead to a poor diet. A new study says parents can train their kids to like vegetables. Under-twos can get to like vegetables if they try them up to ten times. Even fussy eaters will eat them. This is good news for parents who are worried about what their children eat. It also means kids will have better nutrition.

The study was on children aged between four months and three years. Each child had between five and 10 servings of artichoke puree. The younger children ate more of it. A professor said under-twos will eat new vegetables because they are more open to new experiences. After 24 months, they are less willing to try new things. She said if parents want children to eat vegetables, they should start early and serve them often. (Breaking News English)
