Here’s a snack hack for people with young kids: A new study found they’ll eat more vegetables if they think it gives them SUPERPOWERS.
Researchers in Germany spent 20 minutes reading kids fairy tales that involved magical fruits and veggies. The hero was either healed or saved by eating them.
After the story was done, they offered the kids a choice of four different snacks . . . fruit, vegetables, cake, or cookies.
It turned out it made them more likely to choose the healthier options, and not just right after they heard the story. It had a lasting effect.
80% of the kids were still eating more fruits and veggies WEEKS later.
