Kids Who Watch Popeye Cartoons Eat More Vegetables 119
markmark57 writes "Popeye cartoons, tasting parties and junior cooking classes can help increase vegetable intake in kindergarten children, according to new research published in the journal Nutrition & Dietetics. Researchers at Mahidol University in Bangkok found the type and amount of vegetables children ate improved after they took part in a program using multimedia and role models to promote healthy food. Twenty six kindergarten children aged four to five participated in the eight-week study. The researchers recorded the kinds and amounts of fruit and vegetables eaten by the children before and after the program."

You should never spoil good spinach by cooking. Just buy some tasty, fresh, raw baby-spinach and put it into your sandwich.

False. There is no evidence of a decimal point error.
