Kids who eat healthy food also eat junk food: Curb childhood obesity with diet

 So it's official--kids who eat healthy food also eat junk food. Relax News said on Jan. 12, that this was the finding of Ohio State University researchers. Did that surprise you? It certainly shocked the folks at OSU. They expected to find that kids ate fruits, vegetables, milk and other nutritious foods to substitute junk food. They hoped to prove that childhood obesity could be overturned simply by turning kids on to healthy food. But any parent could have told OSU scientists that kids who eat healthy food will happily eat "unhealthy" if allowed to. Junk food is highly addictive and children are prime targets for addiction, having as yet undeveloped limit switches. Some kids just like to eat, period. And that is much healthier than picky eaters and parents who cater to their weird eating habits. Kids who eat healthy food also eat junk food: Curb childhood obesity with diet | Examiner.com
