The study showed that
overweight children recognized 10 food items more often than healthy - weight children: M&M's, Cocoa Puffs, Keebler cookies, Pringles potato chips, Rice Krispies, Cap'n Crunch, Coca - Cola, Planter's peanuts, KFC and Hamburger Helper.
«Basically, we compared parents of
overweight children who
recognized their
children were
overweight with parents of
overweight children who did not
recognize their
children were
overweight to see if knowing your
child is
overweight is associated with better behavior,» Neumark - Sztainer said.
