If you want your children to eat more fruits and vegetables, serve them more fruits and vegetables.
According to a study in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association (now Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics) of more than 1,100 first-graders, putting fruits and vegetables on the kids' school lunch trays increased the likelihood that the children would actually eat them.
Serve your family healthy foods at meals, pack them in your children's lunches and make good choices available at home for easy, on-the-go snacks.
