TL;DR
Data from observations and interviews are used to document fourth-graders' preferences for, and consumption of, fruits compared to vegetables available as part of school lunches to understand how to increase children's preferences for vegetables as a means of increasing consumption.
Abstract
Research is needed to understand how to increase children's preferences for vegetables as a means of increasing consumption.

Pediatricians should encourage the consumption of fruits and vegetables, especially dark green and deep yellow vegetables, by children and provide estimates of their intakes compared with recommendations.

Baseline data from two school nutrition education projects were used to examine relationships between availability/accessibility and consumption of fruits and vegetables and it was hypothesized that greater availability and accessibility would lead to more consumption.

Fruit and vegetable intake among adults in the United States is lower than the recommended minimum of five daily servings and this data will be useful in targeting campaign efforts and in assessing progress of the Five A Day for Better Health Program.

Offering children a nutritionally adequate diet is necessary but may not be sufficient to ensure dietary quality; children's food preferences are influential determinants of macronutrient intake.

Although caloric and fat intake increased with increasing servings of fruit and vegetables, the percent of calories from fat remained relatively constant and the discrepancy between dietary guidelines and the actual diet suggests a need for extensive public education.

Limitations in the conceptualization, scope, and measurement of the variables assessed may have contributed to the weak associations observed and models incorporating factors other than individual-level social-cognitive variables may be required to more fully explain children's dietary behavior.

Of the factors studied, the most important in determining someone's fruit and vegetable intake were the number of servings they thought they should have in a day, whether they liked the taste, and whether they had been in the habit of eating many fruits and vegetables since childhood.

The revised questionnaire provides a reliable, valid, and simple tool for assessing fruit and vegetable preferences of 4th- and 5th-grade students, and the relationship between these preferences and actual consumption is weak; however, making fruits and vegetables more available may enhance preferences.

Students were reasonably accurate in keeping records and more accurate with the more labor-intensive approach, but researchers need to select an approach based on the degree of accuracy desired and available finances.

Focusing on changing what children like to eat, through repeated exposure to new foods in a positive social context, is more likely to change what foods they choose than is simple nutrition education.
