“…They frequently ask for dairy products, cereal, and snack items such as cookies, crackers, fruit juice, and dry beverage mixes (Lamkin, Hielscher, and Jones, 1970). On the other hand, it has been reported that children consistently dislike cooked vegetables, mixed dishes, and liver but will accept certain raw vegetables in preference to cooked ones (Pipes and Rees, 1977;Beyer and Morris, 1974;Eppright, Fox, Fryer, Lamkin, and Vivian, 1970). Still, the number and frequency of consumption of certain foods con-tributing to crude fiber content of the diet of this population have not been reported.…”

Diet records of 169 preschool children were analyzed to determine the characteristics of diets with crude fiber values above 2.4 grams (upper quartile) and below 1.5 grams (lower quartile). Children whose diets contained 2.5 to 5.9 grams of crude fiber consumed a wider variety of foods, ate more servings of each food, and tended to have diets which met or exceeded two‐ thirds of the RDA for all nutrients except iron. The diets of the upper quartile group had higher energy values, but the proportion of energy contributed by fat, carbohydrate, and pro tein was similar for the total, upper, and lower quartiles. The diets of the upper quartile group were calculated to have proportionately more crude fiber and vitamins A and C, resulting from greater consumption of fruits and vegetables, while the reported diets of the lower quartile group had more calcium and riboflavin as a result of greater consumption of milk and milk products. At least 13 fiber‐contributing foods (10 fruits and vegetables, peanut butter, dried cooked beans, and whole wheat bread and rolls) reported in the children's diets accounted for 9.6 percent of the total foods. It did not appear that children in the upper versus lower quartile in this study received a large percentage of crude fibers from phytate‐rich foods, and the likelihood of this factor in hibiting iron utilization in the population would be doubtful.

“…[2] who studied 310 children between the ages of 7 and 18 and concluded that ‘children are good bargainers by the age of 7’. This suggests that advice aimed at mothers in their perceived role as controllers of the family food supply is likely to be ineffective if the influence of the rest of the family is ignored [3–7]. This view is supported in a study of 92 family units (two parents and two children aged between 12 and 18 years) by De Bourdeaudhuij and Van Oost [8].…”

“…The incidence of feeding problems has been estimated to vary from 16% to 75 % ( Eppright et al, 1969;Minde & Minde, 1986). This is a time of growing individuality for children, a time when a child's personality and temperament is demonstrated.…”
