- Title
Sneak Your Vegetables.
- Abstract
The article reports on the findings of the study, which is conducted by researchers at Penn State University, concerning children's food calorie intake and vegetable consumption. In the study, they develop two variations of pasta with high and low calorie density, and serve the food to 61 children between 3-5 years old. It reveals that a children's calorie intake and consumption could be reduced by reduction of calorie density and addition of lower-calorie ingredients. It also shows that children who ate 17 percent of pasta with few calories also ate more vegetables compared to children who consumed the pasta with high calorie.
