Nutrition Education Efforts Failing
July 9, 2007 - 10:10am
from Chicago Tribune
The federal government will spend more than $1 billion this year on nutrition education -- fresh carrot and celery snacks, videos of dancing fruit, hundreds of hours of lively lessons about how great you will feel if you eat well. But an Associated Press review of scientific studies examining 57 such programs found mostly failure.

i don't agree

I had no idea that what I ate while I was pregnant would influence the tastebuds of my children.  I never ate junk food and yet why do they always have a hankering for it.  I don't know if I agree with that information.  I ate plenty of veggies and fruit and my boys do not seem to like them.

Seems like the other way around

I agree with Vicki.  I think it's more what the fetus craves/nutrition the child needs determines what the mother eats.  The only time in my life I really adored and understood the chocolate obessesion when I was pregnant and nursing my kids.  Once I quit nursing, I've returned to my pre-child ambivelence about chocolate.  (I know, I know.  I suppose, t's just another indication of how my kids are more normal than me).
