Memory game with fruit influences fruit intake among children

Food cues are omnipresent and contrived to be attention-grabbing, activating children’s eating behaviour. Most food cues are related to palatable food, that contain a high percentage of salt, fat, and sugar. These food cues stimulate the intake of unhealthy energy-dense food. As a consequence, children eat not enough fruit and vegetables, that increases their risk at chronic diseases. The aim of this experimental study is to examine whether playing a memory game with fruit affects fruit intake among young children.
