researchers at the University of California, Berkeley did a 3 year study examining the difference between children who participated in a edible schoolyard program and those who didnt. Apparently the children who helped garden and helped cook the food they harvested ate 1 and a half servings more fruit and vegetables.
hmmmmmm, sounds a lot like what I did with my daughter. and I really didnt need an expert to tell me this.
it just seemed like common sense to me. In fact this was common practice in the old days.

kids eating a proper diet starts with the parents eating a proper diet. until then, the chain cannot be broken.
