While it is known that some children are not huge fans of greens, a new study suggests that such dietary preferences could come about before they’re even born.
Fetuses create more of a “laughter-face” in the womb when exposed to the flavor of carrots consumed by their mother and create more of a “cry-face” response when exposed to kale, according to a study published in the journal Psychological Science on Wednesday.
Whereas movements such as upper lip raises, the casting down of the lower lip, the pressing of the lips, and a combination of those – suggestive of a crying face – were much more common in the kale group than the other groups. “By now, we all know the importance of healthy diet for children. There are lots of healthy vegetables, unfortunately with bitter taste, that is usually not appealing to children,” said Ustun.
