Can Cooking With Kids Help Them Eat Healthier?

This article discusses a study conducted at University of Alberta which showed statistics that children who helped cook with their parents in the kitchen were 10% more likely to eat healthier even on their own. It's important to familiarize children with food and let them ask questions or go through the motions of preparing a meal so they are aware of the variety of food out there.
This article is relevant to our project because one of our goals is to introduce a few new meal ideas and recipes into a household's weekly menu. This comes from a cooperation of the children and parents and a huge part of it is to first introduce and familiarize children with food items that may not necessarily be on their radar. This will allow children to pick food more wisely and to eat with more conscious minds.
