A recent study found that giving children carrots before their lunch actually made them eat MORE of the broccoli in their lunch. And the more carrots they ate, the more broccoli they ate.
This is pretty surprising at first glance. You would think that if a kid ate carrots, he would get tired of vegetables and eat less broccoli later on. But starting out a meal eating healthy foods puts the kid in a mode where he enjoys healthy food.
Tips and Techniques
Every night, set out a bowl of vegetables and dip while you're making dinner. Your child will be hungry, which will make the vegetables taste better.
