Early experiences with food can shape children's food preferences and contribute to lifelong eating habits. It is recommended that parents and caregivers provide a variety of healthful foods to their infants/toddlers to facilitate exposure to a wide variety of flavors, textures, and nutrients. Almost half of parents feeding infants and toddlers provide some form of commercially produced infant and toddler food. These foods have packaging which includes a variety of information which can confuse parents, putting nutrition educators in the unique position to help demystify these packages. This presentation will describe current research investigating the factors associated with the inclusion of vegetables and fruits in the front-of-package product names of commercially produced infant and toddler foods sold in the United States.

Comparison of interventions with the objective to increase vegetable and fruit intake using randomly selected Head Start classrooms. Two groups of participants received vegetables and fruits, high in carotene, for eight weeks. One of those groups received nutrition education in addition to their weekly produce provisions. The third group served as the control group.

Meals that provided through the National School Lunch Program have become significantly healthier since the regulations that emerged as part of the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act. This presentation will review the requirements for school meals; highlight changes from the HHFKA; and present a study that tested how the availability of juice influenced student selection of fruit and milk as part of their school lunch. Additional research on evidence-based strategies to increase the selection and consumption of fruit and vegetables in school meals will be shared. The Fall Journal Club series is supported by Elsevier. Education Benefits Participants of this webinar will receive 1 CEU for live attendance.

We will describe the results of our JNEB publication entitled “Intuitive Eating is Associated with Higher Fruit and Vegetable Intake among Adults”. In this study we measured the relationship between intuitive eating and dietary intake among a population-based sample of 1,830 young adults in Project EAT-IV (Eating and Activity in Teens and Young Adults). Our results suggest that intuitive eating was cross-sectionally related to alignment with public health recommendations for self-reported fruit and vegetable intake, although it was also associated with lower whole grain intake among men. We will also discuss key gaps in research on intuitive eating and implications for research and practice. The Fall Journal Club series is supported by Elsevier.
