20 Time Blog #4: Presliced Fruits!
So far I have gotten to research a lot about this topic as Cornell has a branch of study regarding food psychology. By doing this instead, there is already completed research and it is up to me to sort and pick out the research that is relevant and more worthwhile. Some things to note were: Don’t force little kids to clean their plates which shows that parenting has a role in obesity/eating behaviours; Putting healthy food such as fruits out on counters instead of unhealthy foods such as chips subconsciously help you eat healthier; children are more likely to eat pre-sliced fruits. I've learned that although research is research, there can be clear bias in the analysis of that research, especially when an outcome is 'predetermined,' so to speak. My next step will be to continue to research and to start a compiled paper on this. This topic is definitely applicable to myself and my community/country as America is becoming increasingly related with obesity.

This sounds really cool and it's amazing how you're tackling such a big issue like unhealthy eating habits. I can't wait to see your final paper on this :)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with the statement, "children are more likely to eat pre-sliced fruits." I can connect with this very well, since sometimes even I am too lazy to go get a knife and cut up a fruit. I like how you're connecting this with America as a whole, and I can't wait to see your final paper!
