Project VEGGIE Aims to Curb Picky Eating
Getting kids to eat vegetables can be challenging, but increasing their exposure to fresh produce may help. A health education and behavior professor from the University of Florida has launched a research project to find out. Project VEGGIE (Vegetable Eating Gets Going with Increased Exposure) is a 12-week pilot program that brings together Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida in partnership with UF Professor Dr. Layton Reeser-Oyer, the Early Learning Coalition of Orange County and volunteers from the University of Central Florida.
