Children's food preferences: facial expression analysis with The Observer XT

Despite the health benefits, children consume less vegetables than recommended. Dutch children aged 4-6 years eat 44 grams of vegetables daily, whereas 100-150 grams is recommended [Dutch National Food Consumption Survey young children 2005/2006]. One of the main reasons for this low consumption, is that many children do not like vegetables. Since children’s liking or preferences play a crucial role in their food choice behaviour, it would be valuable to increase children’s liking for vegetables as an effective strategy to increase their vegetable consumption.
