In a new study, 186 fouryearold children were given regular carrots and, on other lunch days, they were given the same vegetables which were renamed Xray Vision Carrots. The study suggests kids like vegetables with cool names better and the influence of these names might continue to exist. Children continued to eat about 50 percent more carrots even on the days when they were no longer called cool names. The research, which was funded (資助 ) by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, was put up at the yearly meeting of the School Nutrition Association in Washington DC. “Cool names can make for cool foods,” says Brian Wansink of Cornell University. “Whether it is ?power peas? or ?dinosaur broccoli trees,? giving the food a fun name gets kids to think that it will be more fun to eat. And it seems to keep working—even on the next day,” Wansink said. Similar results have been found with adults. A restaurant study showed that when the Seafood Filet was changed to Succulent Italian Seafood Filet, sales increased by 28 percent and the taste rating (評級 ) increased by 12 percent. “The same food, but different expectations, and different experience,” said Wansink, the author of Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think. The study was done in preschools (幼兒園 ), but the researchers believe the same tricks can work with children . “I?ve been using this with my kids at home,” said a researcher Collin Payne. “Whatever inspires their imagination seems to inspire their appetite (胃口 ).” do the scientists say about kids who don?t like vegetables according to Paragraph 1?
