Detailed Summary
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to examine fruit and vegetable consumption in preschoolers following a nutrition education curriculum. The main questions it aims to answer is: 1. Is this intervention consisting of nutrition education and taste-test activities able to improve fruit and vegetable consumption in preschoolers during their usual lunch meal? 2. Is the improvement of fruit and vegetable consumption sustained for at least 6 weeks after completion of the intervention?
