Study Notes
The Modern Diet
- Children and teenagers prefer fizzy, sweet, brightly colored food.

- Other methods to encourage fresh produce consumption include "snack-flavored" vegetables (e.g., chocolate-flavored carrots, baked-bean flavored peas, and Brussels sprouts flavored with bubble gum).
- Teenagers often consume primarily junk food or fast food.
- This has significant international consequences, impacting personal and political spheres.
