Children's food preferences
1980
Lamme, Ary J. III. | Lamme, Linda Leonard
In a survey done by the Society for the North American Cultural Survey (SNACS), 768 children responded to questions concerning food patterns in relation to preference, sex and age. Results showed that favorite dinners varied more than breakfasts; 9 specific foods were preferred by one sex (boys preferred hamburgers, bananas, root beer and pudding, while girls preferred spaghetti, beans, chicken, toast, and peaches); and there were 16 specific foods where the age groups differed significantly (older children preferred pizza, corn, cola, roast beef and BLT sandwiches, and pie, while the younger group preferred hot dogs, cereal, carrots, beans, milk, juices, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches). The most popular foods were cola, ice cream, corn, cereal, and peanut butter and jelly. Children appeared to prefer a narrow range of foods, and older children preferred less nutritious foods.
