The Washington Post (4/18) reports, “When families took about 10 minutes longer to eat dinner, children ate ‘significantly’ more fruits and vegetables, amounting to an additional seven pieces of fruits and vegetables – one extra portion – a new study by German scientists shows.” Additionally, “having fruits and vegetables available in bite-sized pieces may have made it easier for the children to eat more during the extra time, the researchers said.” The findings were published in JAMA Network Open News.
