School Gardens Could Help Children
Try More Vegetables
①It's not always enjoyable for children to eat vegetables. But what if a garden is built in the school? New research suggests that a gardening programme in schools can help children eat more vegetables.
②The study was carried out in eight schools. Each school was in the gardening programme for one school year. Every child in grades 3 — 5 received a total of eighteen 60-minute lessons across the school year. In the programme, each school built a garden, where children learned to grow their own fresh produce, like fruit and vegetables.
③The study found that vegetable intake increased greatly if the children grew their own produce across the year. Related studies show that increased vegetable intake can improve health and cut the risk of some illnesses. What's more, increasing the kinds of vegetables children are exposed(接触) to may also make mealtimes much easier. "Children who are often exposed to different kinds of vegetables are more likely to try new foods, " explains Dr Kerry Jones. For children, growing their own food is a powerful tool to increase their intake of the food.
④Any chance to expose children to more vegetables is meaningful. "If children are learning about vegetables at school, it's important for parents to encourage this interest at home, " says Jones. Parents can listen to their children about what they have learned and read the handouts they bring home from school. Parents and children can also read books together. Younger children can enjoy reading stories about vegetables with parents who offer useful messages. Older children may enjoy searching through cookbooks with parents to find new dinner ideas to cook vegetables in a delicious way. Besides, a small planter box in a sunny part at home can encourage children to understand more about where their food comes from.
⑤Teaching children to grow their own produce is a great way to increase their preference for the produce. If children are taught to enjoy vegetables early in life, they will probably continue eating vegetables in the long term.
