Picky Eaters


As a group children can be very picky eaters, a lot of this can be traced back to the parents like or dislike of certain foods. If given the opportunity to taste new foods children can prove to be very adventurous eaters. I did classes with 213 children during the 2018-19 school year in Garrard County KY. Only 81 youth could be evaluated, we as NEP do not evaluate preschool children. Out of the 81 students in the 3rd and 5th grades on entry only 20% reported a willingness to try new foods. At the exit evaluation of these same 81 students 31% reported a willingness to try new foods. This is a positive increase of 11% over the six hours of instruction and introduction to some new foods that most probably had not tried before.
