Influencing the kids to make healthy food choices has become a lot easier for parents as researchers have observed that children who are exposed to animated cartoon characters taking the shapes of healthy vegetables such as cucumber or carrots, prefer to eat salads on their own. The findings show that such a marketing of vegetables in lunchrooms of school tripled the number of students preferring items from salads bar. Moreover, such interventions also showed improvements in the nutrition and performance of students in school.
