Scientists Found a Trick to Make Little Kids Eat Their Vegetables

Here’s how to trick your kid into eating healthy: Researchers read fairy tales to little kids, where the hero was saved by eating magical fruits and veggies. It made them more likely to want fresh produce as a snack. 80% were still eating more fruits and veggies weeks after the study was done.

Here’s a snack hack for people with young kids:  A new study found they’ll eat more vegetables if they think it gives them SUPERPOWERS.

Researchers in Germany spent 20 minutes reading kids fairy tales that involved magical fruits and veggies.  The hero was either healed or saved by eating them.

After the story was done, they offered the kids a choice of four different snacks . . . fruit, vegetables, cake, or cookies.

It turned out it made them more likely to choose the healthier options, and not just right after they heard the story.  It had a lasting effect.

80% of the kids were still eating more fruits and veggies WEEKS later.

Meet Scott and Sadie: the anti-heroes of morning radio turned podcast renegades. Scott’s 40 years in broadcasting have left him fluent in snark, while Sadie’s nepotistic origins (thanks, Mom!) brought the unfiltered charm that made them a Northern Colorado favorite. After corporate radio ghosted them harder than a bad Tinder date, the duo ditched FCC babysitters and went full rogue. Now, they’re back with a podcast that’s equal parts wit, sarcasm, and a big middle finger to mediocrity. Loyal fans, curious newcomers, or algorithm strays—welcome to the chaos.
