Nutritional education for babies and parents

And yet it moves: surely, with the data a few years ago, the eating habits of children are slowly changing for the better. And the findings derived from questionnaires completed by over 1500 students participating in the project conducted in Garden, sponsored by Slowfood and Bonduelle Foundation. But to be the mouth, this time, the parents teach their children the principles of healthy eating, but then very rarely apply them when they start cooking.
While, in fact, you feel a new awareness in children about the importance of fruit and vegetables (“The vegetables are good and grow healthy and strong” response was very popular in the questionnaires), the other emerges clear that meals in the home continue to be composed mainly of carbohydrates (bread, pasta and pizza) while only 49% of children questioned claimed to consume vegetables more than 4 times a week. Often there is a confusion: many children (as much as 63%) when speaking generically of these vegetables in their meals consist mainly of potatoes (especially French fries!) And rarely do the rest.
But something good, like you said, actually there is: compared to data collected by Bonduelle Foundation five years ago during the program “Friends to the Table: Discovering the correct diet, 76% of the sample said they liked vegetables at the table (with the gold medal that goes to children Tuscan, 100%!) and only 10% do not like the taste, compared to 24% of the previous investigation.
