According to Maryann Jacobsen (2015) most of the people do not like foods with a
bitter taste children have more sensitive buds than adults and because of that children learn
to hate Vegetables, Vegetables are not linked to eating enjoyment, kids do not value their
health they only value taste and satisfaction they not even think the nutrients that will
help to their body. Most of the children was prefer to eat meat and junk foods than vegetables.
Based on the result of 6th nutrition survey they are low percentage of people who are
eating vegetables rather than eating junk food (40% vegetables 60% junk food) junk food
is not good for the people especially to the kids, it’s too hard to avoid junk food because
food companies have mastered the perfect taste sensation, largely blend of salt, sugar & fat
and it will cause poor nutrition and it can contribute to stress and tiredness.
